Song Yunzhao looked at the crowd filling the hall. Everyone wore a broad smile, but who knew what they were really thinking.
The banquet didn't end until 7:45 PM. The Emperor, surrounded by his courtiers, headed for Taiji Palace. Back in Qinghua Hall, the three concubines of the highest rank were the first to depart. Song Yunzhao, Han Jinyi, and the rest of their group followed close behind, while the noble women were led out of the palace one after another by Palace Attendants.
Seeing how late it was, Yun Zhao worried something might happen, so she had Anshun personally escort her mother out of the palace. As for her father, he had gone to Taiji Palace, an affair she couldn't interfere with.
