Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue followed the people from An Ning Marquis's Mansion and slowly walked towards the Mingguang Palace. She felt a little complicated, excited and nervous. This palace was magnificent and majestic, which made people shocked. Along the way, Su Yue silently observed the surrounding environment, secretly sighing at the luxury and solemnity of the palace.

When they finally arrived in front of the Mingguang Palace, Su Yue's heartbeat accelerated. She looked up and saw that the palace door was open. Two guards holding spears stood in front of the door, looking solemn and serious. A majestic atmosphere filled the air, making people feel inexplicably depressed.

The leader of the An Ning Marquis's Mansion walked forward, and Su Yue took a deep breath and followed in with light steps. As soon as she entered the hall, she was attracted by the scene in front of her. The hall was magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and it was beautiful. Countless colored lights were hung on the ceiling, flashing dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

Su Yue walked forward timidly, her eyes scanning the surroundings like a hawk, as if she wanted to deeply imprint everything in front of her in her mind. Their mansion was located quite in the front, second only to the princes and princesses, and the one in the front was naturally their mansion. At this time, many ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families had arrived at the scene. Some of the young wives from aristocratic families who had a good relationship with Wang Xinxuan greeted her one after another; and Qin Jiaojiao's good girlfriends also came over to greet Qin Jiaojiao. Of course, some people noticed Su Yue's presence. They looked at her up and down with curiosity or scrutiny, and some even said with a hint of sarcasm: "Jiaojiao, is this your third sister-in-law? I heard that she is very rich and donated all her dowry!" Facing these strange looks and sarcastic words, Su Yue just stood there quietly, and did not take the initiative to come forward to talk.

At this time, Marquis An Ning came slowly from the palace in front with a group of men. Qin Yi and Marquis An Ning returned to their seats and sat down. Seeing this, the other ladies and wives left one after another. Qin Yi looked at Su Yue silently and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" Su Yue smiled slightly and replied softly: "I'm fine."

Not long after, the Queen and many concubines also came, and finally the Emperor and Concubine Su came side by side. Su Yue's eyes fell on Concubine Su beside the Emperor. Compared with the Queen's dignified and generous appearance, Concubine Su was more charming and moving. She was indeed a great beauty. Looking at her, it was as if a fresh and pleasant spring breeze was blowing on your face, making you feel extremely happy.

However, at this moment, Su Yue keenly caught the unhappy look on the queen's face, but she quickly regained her composure. She couldn't help but sigh that the life of a woman in the palace was not easy. They obviously didn't like each other, but they had to maintain a harmonious atmosphere on the surface. It can be said that life is like a play, and it all depends on acting! Under this false appearance, how many intrigues and struggles are hidden? And how much helplessness and bitterness do these women have?

Perhaps only when you are in it can you truly experience this feeling of being helpless. Su Yue secretly felt lucky that she was not a member of the palace and did not have to get involved in this endless struggle. She decided to keep a low profile and stay away from the right and wrong places to avoid unnecessary troubles. After all, in this world full of power and calculations, a little carelessness could lead to an irreversible situation.

Concubine Su and the Emperor walked upwards, but Concubine Su was obviously accompanied by Yue, but the Empress did not say anything, and the concubines did not react either. I guess this is how Concubine Su and the Emperor get along. Concubine Su's behavior is a little arrogant, but her expression is gentle and kind, making people feel that whatever she does is right. However, the Emperor did not let Concubine Su sit with him. Concubine Su sat down on the right hand side of the Emperor. Su Yue felt tired just watching from below. On the Emperor's left was the Empress, behind him was the Concubine, and below were a group of concubines. Just as Su Yue was daydreaming, the Empress Dowager arrived.

The emperor also stood up and saluted. Su Yue also stood up quickly and followed the others to salute the queen mother: "Long live the queen mother!" The queen mother smiled and said: "No need to be polite, my dear ministers, please sit down." Everyone sat down. The emperor looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I specially set up a banquet here to spend a good time and beautiful scenery with you dear ministers." After that, the emperor raised his glass, and everyone stood up and toasted the emperor. Then, a group of palace maids came forward with various delicacies and fine wines, and a group of graceful dancers began to dance, and the musicians played beautiful music. A gorgeous banquet kicked off.

The dancers danced lightly, like fairies descending to the earth. Their dancing postures were graceful and moving, making people intoxicated. The musicians' performances were even more touching and refreshing. Everyone was enjoying the delicious food and the wonderful singing and dancing performances, with constant laughter. However, Su Yue lowered her head and ate silently. She muttered to herself that these dishes seemed to have been left for a while, and some had already cooled down. Although some hot dishes were still warm, the taste was obviously not as delicious as when they were just out of the pot. She couldn't help but think that on such an important festival, the emperor didn't take a holiday and had to summon everyone to the palace. Moreover, these cold dishes really made people lose interest. She thought, wouldn't it be better for the emperor to celebrate the festival with his concubines? Wouldn't it be more comfortable for them, the ministers, to celebrate at home? Why do they have to squeeze into this small palace?

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel helpless. But she also understood that as a minister, she couldn't disobey the emperor's order. So, she could only continue to lower her head and eat the food in front of her, trying not to think too much. Although the singing and dancing performance was very exciting, her mind had already flown outside the palace, imagining the warm lights at home and the scene of family reunion. At this moment, she only hoped that the banquet would end as soon as possible so that she could go home early and spend this reunion festival with her family.

Su Yue originally planned to have a low-key dinner and wait for the banquet to end, but things did not go as planned. At this moment, someone mentioned her name. The virtuous concubine said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Ming Zhao's daughter is the third young lady of An Ning Marquis's mansion! It is said that she has just gone to the Queen's palace to pay respects, but I have not seen this new daughter-in-law yet?" The emperor immediately responded, "My niece, I have not met her yet. I heard that Ming Zhao's daughter was sick a few days ago, but is she recovered now?" After hearing the conversation between the virtuous concubine and the emperor, the wife of the An Ning Marquis hurriedly stood up and led Su Yue out to pay respects. Su Yue actually didn't want to come out. She stood up and sat down all night, and sometimes knelt down to pay respects. In addition, there were so many people present, which really made her feel a little exhausted.
