Mu Yangling nodded vigorously. She was probably the most relaxed among everyone. To her, it was just a palace banquet. When a group of women got together, they would at most gossip. Wouldn't it be fine as long as she ate quietly?

Qi Haoran patiently explained, "The Emperor might not necessarily ask you questions, but it's always good to be prepared. After all, he specially called us back. He has already seen me and might ask you a few questions. So be careful and don't say anything you shouldn't."

Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought we had to pay our respects to the Emperor. Isn't he busy during the New Year? He definitely won't have time to specially summon us, right?"
