Palace Banquet (2)

Upon hearing this, not only Matriarch Yuan, but the other matriarchs could not help but nod slightly. They had a favorable impression of Li Jinghua.

Madam Xia couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the matriarchs' expressions soften.

Mu Yangling stood at the side and smiled the entire time, only answering a few questions from time to time. Some time later, she followed Li Jinghua back to their seats. Madam Xia had long been pulled away.

Seeing that she and Li Jinghua were alone, Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief. "How tiring. It's even more tiring than me plowing the fields for three days."

Qi Haoran bade farewell to Fan Zijin and returned. He whispered to Mu Yangling, "I'll bring you out for a horse race on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
