Not Satisfying at All

Today, Qiao Mai's performance truly stunned their eyes. The empress kept a stern face until the banquet ended.

Many people were still secretly speculating on how Madam Qiao conjured these things. Some even wanted to ask if she had similar jewelry and wished to have them—they were just too beautiful.

After the banquet, Consort Rui asked Qiao Mai and her family to stay.

"Relax and have a seat. We are family. When we meet privately, there's no need for formalities."

Qiao Mai took the lead and sat. Consort Rui glanced at her son-in-law and then at Ling'er, nodding approvingly.

"Your family's Feng Shui is nourishing. Your son is talented and handsome, and your daughter is exceptionally charming."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I usually don't like socializing, so I haven't visited the palace. Please forgive me."
