When the King of Northern Yan got married, envoys from various countries were sent to congratulate him. In order to entertain the congratulators from all over the world, Xia Houlie specially held a grand banquet in the magnificent Tianhe Hall.

In the Tianhe Hall, there are fine wines, delicacies, and beauties singing and dancing, all of which are exquisite and show the style of a great country. The whole hall is lively and full of joy.

The main hall is divided into inner and outer halls. The outer hall entertains hundreds of officials and nobles, while the inner hall entertains envoys from various countries and relatives of the emperor.

Mu Qingwan got off the sedan, and soon a woman who looked like a palace maid came over and saluted: "My slave, please pay your respects to the Queen."

"No need to be polite." Mu Qingwan replied calmly, looking at the noisy crowd in the hall, she frowned and asked, "When will the dinner start?"

"It may be a little late to return to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother went to Nanfo Temple to pray for blessings and suddenly returned to the palace. The Emperor came out of the palace to greet her. It must be half an hour later."

Mu Qingwan nodded and was thinking about how to pass the time when a little maid came next to her and knelt down to her and said:

"Queen Jin An, our noble concubine has called our servants to come over and ask you to come and sit down."

She pointed to a side hall, thinking that the concubines were resting there at the moment.

Mu Qingwan knew that it would not be as simple as just sitting there when those concubines invited her to go, but it was a blessing, not a curse, and it was a curse that could not be avoided. Sooner or later, she would have to face those concubines of Xia Houlie.

He nodded without thinking, "Can you please lead the way?"

Although the space of the side hall is not large, it has a clever layout. There are several pots of orchids in the hall. There is an exquisite waterfall on the rockery on the side, with water splashing around like a fountain. There is a large round table inside, with seven or eight people sitting around it.

A beautiful woman surrounded by flowers.

When Mu Qingwan came in, they all looked at her intensely, as if they wanted to see through her.

At the head of the round table sat a stunning beauty wearing a bright red palace dress. Her hair was like a knife, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her face was like peach petals, and her eyes were like eyes. She was unparalleled in beauty, but the makeup was too thick, which made her uncomfortable.

The originally beautiful facial features have lost a lot of color.

At this moment, she was sitting leisurely, looking at Mu Qingwan leisurely, with a proud look on her face.

"Your Majesty, this is the Queen." The little maid reminded her as she was blessed.

Xia Houlie only had one concubine, and I think this one was the famous Yun Guifei Yun Luo. No wonder he was so arrogant that even she, the queen, didn't look down on her.

Knowing that these women were looking at her with their own thoughts, Mu Qingwan sneered in her heart and glanced at everyone calmly. Although there were many beauties among them, they were not comparable to Concubine Yun.

As soon as the little palace maid finished speaking, Concubine Yun slapped her to the ground, "How presumptuous! You think I'm blind, don't you know how to see?"

The crisp sound of slaps sounded, and soon several concubines stood up and looked timidly at the angry Concubine Yun, which clearly showed Yun Luo's intimidating power in this harem.

Five bright red finger prints quickly appeared on the little palace maid's face. Tears flowed down her face, but she did not dare to hum.

Mu Qingwan glanced at Concubine Yun, only to see that she was looking at him triumphantly. When the concubines saw her as the Queen, none of them stood up to say hello to her. They all looked at her with a bit of mockery in their eyes.
