As night fell, the stars shone brightly, and the palace was ablaze with lights. Embroidered Uniform Guards stood on either side, solemn and dignified. Palace maids weaved through the palace, holding glazed lanterns, lighting the way to the banquet hall.

Chi Li jumped down from the carriage nimbly, and Liu Cai awkwardly withdrew her outstretched hand, pretending nothing had happened.

He Wanxin, who was helping He Wanyan get out of the car, noticed this scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He Wanyan reminded her quietly: "Pay attention to your image and don't show your teeth when you smile."

"You should say this to Sister Chi." He Wanxin winked at Chi Li playfully.

Chi Li also blinked like her.

"That's enough, you two. Grandmother will definitely teach you a lesson later." He Wanyan said with a smile.

"Grandma doesn't have the leisure time for that. She and He Wanyue are riding in the same carriage, and I guess all her thoughts are on her," said He Wanxin.

He Wanyan nodded. "That's right. He Wanyue is becoming increasingly erratic. Grandmother is worried she'll do something that will bring shame to the Marquisate."

He Wanxin stepped forward and stood beside Chi Li, lowering her voice and saying, "Sister, this banquet will only be for women, you should know what this means!"

Chi Li nodded. Of course, she was an extraordinary woman who knew a little bit about the plot.

"Excuse me, why didn't my aunt come?" Chi Li couldn't help her curiosity.

"Grandmother said she was a crazy woman and didn't let her come on the grounds that she was sick." He Wanyan said with a little indifference.

Chi Li held her forehead with her hand, and she sighed in her heart that she was really talking about things that were not related to the topic.

"I'm sorry, it's all my annoying curiosity," she whispered.

"What are you embarrassed about? It's none of your business. Let's go." He Wanxin took a big step forward and said happily in front of the two people.

Chi Li and He Wanyan smiled at each other and followed He Wanxin in front.

He Wanyue, who arrived at the banquet first, felt uncomfortable all over as she sat next to the old lady. God knows how uncomfortable she felt being stared at all the way.

Damn old woman! He Wanyue cursed inwardly.

When she saw Chi Li in a white dress slowly walking in, her bad mood disappeared quietly. When she was in the mansion, she deliberately asked Yuan'er to spread the news of the banquet to select a concubine. Chi Li must be doing something bad.

And she, He Wanyue, wanted to make this bitch taste the suffering she had endured in her previous life.

Chi Li was completely unaware of the impending danger, and she tried her best to suppress her excitement.

This is the imperial palace. Chi Li silently made a wish, hoping that she could become the emperor in her next life. The reason was that the imperial palace was too luxurious.

Inside the banquet hall, pearl curtains hung low, the aroma of delicacies filled the air, and carved jade vessels filled with exquisite pastries were placed on the magnificent tables.

The two sisters of the He family skillfully integrated into the communication team of young ladies of the same age.

Chi Li hid in the corner like an invisible person. She really wanted to taste the beautiful little pastry.

Just as her hand reached out and had not yet touched the plate, a little palace maid bumped into Chi Li in panic.

The little palace maid begged for mercy in panic. Just as Chi Li was about to say it was okay, a hard object was stuffed into her palm.

"What are you doing?" Chi Li muttered to herself as she watched the little palace maid leave.

There was a small note in the palm of his hand. He hid the note under his sleeve and unfolded it carefully. It said: See you at Qingfeng Pavilion.

Chi Li tore the note into pieces with an indifferent look on her face and put the pieces into her purse.

She sighed, feeling helpless and furious. Where the hell was Qingfeng Pavilion?

Not knowing where Qingfeng Pavilion was, Chi Li helplessly planned to give up this small side quest that she had no idea what it was.

The banquet was almost over, and it would basically be over after the concubines from the palace came to make their appearance.

He Wanyue's eyes were always on Chi Li who was secretly eating and drinking in the corner. She was secretly anxious in her heart. Why didn't Chi Li take any action? She had clearly asked someone to imitate Jiang Wenjing's handwriting to write a note and give it to Chi Li.

Could it be that Chi Li discovered something?

He Wanyue glanced at the old lady who was busy talking with the ladies, and quietly slipped away when she was not paying attention.

"Cousin, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Chi Li heard a familiar voice and looked up at her. It was indeed He Wanyue.

"That's not good. This is the imperial palace after all." Chi Li wouldn't be stupid enough to hang out with the heroine who hated her.

He Wanyue's face showed an anxious look. She didn't understand why Chi Li didn't fall for it.

Chi Li was thirsty after eating the pastries, so she slowly picked up the fruit wine on the table to quench her thirst.

He Wanyue's eyes suddenly lit up. In her previous life, Chi Li used this method to trick her into drinking wine and causing her to lose her virginity to Jiang Wenjing.

Chi Li looked at He Wanyue, whose facial muscles were twitching with excitement, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to drink too?"

"You must really want me to drink it, right?" He Wanyue had a mysterious smile on her lips.

"?" Chi Li tilted her head. She was really confused. "If you don't want to drink, then forget it." After saying that, Chi Li drank the fruit wine in her hand.

He Wanyue couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't understand why Chi Li was different from her previous life.

Chi Li ignored the neurotic heroine and poured herself another glass of fruit wine.

He Wanyue snatched the wine glass from Chi Li's hand and hid it under her wide sleeves.

Chi Li reacted and said, "No, are you so thirsty? That's the cup I used. Wait a minute."

Of course, He Wanyue had other plans prepared. She poured a packet of medicine powder into the wine glass with her sleeve, and then put the wine glass back in Chi Li's hand.

"Here you go, I forgot you used this."

Chi Li looked down at the wine glass in her hand, and her already round eyes widened even more.

He Wanyue was still urging: "Cousin, drink quickly, aren't you very thirsty?"

Chi Li held up the wine glass and approached He Wanyue. She sighed and said, "How can I drink this? I'm not blind."

He Wanyue looked at the wine glass. There was still unmelted white powder floating on the light pink liquid.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Chi Li was speechless, but a surge of joy surged in her heart. Oh my God, she finally met someone who was even dumber than her. As for this heroine, even if she was reborn, she probably couldn't beat the original Chi Li.

"You're not going to cry, are you? Can you stop shaking? I'm scared." Chi Li said to He Wanyue, who was shaking more and more severely.

The heroine was shaking as if she had Parkinson's disease, and Chi Li was really afraid that she would have a seizure.

He Wanyue was terrified, her heart was beating wildly and almost exploded.

What to do? Chi Li knew her plan. If Chi Li reported her, she would be finished. She had to destroy the evidence.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? I will never give you another chance." He Wanyue said viciously with a dark face.

She snatched Chi Li's wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Chi Li stared at her in astonishment. "You don't have to go to this extent, big sister. How are you...how are you?"

Beads of sweat formed on He Wanyue's forehead, and her face flushed red. She stared at Chi Li and spoke word by word, "I...will...report...you!"
