Noble Consort gazed blankly at the Emperor; such vibrant demeanor was something she had never seen before. It made her feel as if he were flirting with Beauty Lian, causing an uncomfortable block in her chest…
Lian Hua bit her lip as she looked up, thinking what a big scoundrel he was, only wanting to embarrass her. She had thought about going back to kiss him, but now, she wouldn't!
With so many people watching, she felt she had to say something. Thinking of the festival, she could only muster her courage and say, "Today is the joyous Mid-Autumn Festival, this concubine… this concubine wishes to say, may you be blessed with health and safety…"
The Emperor raised an eyebrow. That's it?
Lian Hua herself felt that this half-statement was too short, but unlike others who could speak eloquently, she struggled to come up with another line, "Uh…, may you eat well and drink well…"
Consort Xu De was drinking tea and suddenly "pff…" burst out laughing, laughing heartily.
