The banquet mainly served to foster relationships among the upper class, and had little to do with Qu Tong.
Halfway through the banquet, Emperor Changxin called Qu Tong to the back garden.
It wasn't just the two of them; an assistant was present, and other noblewomen were also admiring the flowers in the back garden.
Many cast furtive glances at Emperor Changxin, who seemed quite accustomed to it.
"Earlier than expected?" Qu Tong paused in mid-stroke of a pet and looked up at Emperor Changxin.
"Yes, the experts in the constellation studies have predicted it would be around the end of this month," Emperor Changxin explained patiently, with a slight droop of his eyelids.
"The Grand Marshal has arrived; I must go. I'll notify you again when the tidal wave fluctuates," Emperor Changxin said with a slight bow before exiting the long pavilion.
Qu Tong was still thinking about the matters of the Dawn Galaxy and did not notice Si Yuting's sour mood.
