The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became dark, cold, eerie, mysterious and weird, making people tremble and shiver uncontrollably.

Although the young palace maids and eunuchs did not say anything, they consciously followed the head nanny and respectfully saluted the carriage.

Everyone present was a smart person. Even if no one in the palace said anything, they all followed the actions of the young palace maids and eunuchs, bowing respectfully towards the carriage. There was silence for a while.

At this moment, no matter who is sitting in the carriage, as long as he can receive greetings from the eunuchs and maids in the palace, he is a master no matter how high or low he is and cannot be offended easily.

Jiang Fugui hid in the crowd to greet them, but he couldn't help being curious, so he raised his head slightly and secretly glanced at the carriage through the gap between the people.

However, there were many guards around the carriage, so she couldn't see clearly. Jiang Fugui only vaguely saw a red Lycoris radiata on the carriage frame, which was exactly the same as the one embroidered on the collar of the guard who helped her on the street that day.

Is it... him?

Before Jiang Fugui had time to think about it, she was gently pulled by the old lady Jiang on the sleeve and quickly lowered her head.

After the carriage team completely disappeared from the South Second City Gate, the people waiting there were led into the palace through the South Third City Gate.

Male guests are in the front court and female guests are in the harem.

The seats for male guests at the banquet were arranged from high to low according to official rank, except for Emperor Xingwen and the princes, followed by wealthy businessmen and gentry, from big to small.

The order of the seats for female guests will be slightly different, with concubines in the palace in front, imperial edicts in the middle, and then the families of officials and wealthy families.

Jiang Fugui followed Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Weishi obediently and sat down alongside Jiang Huagui.

However, their location was in a corner, relatively hidden and inconspicuous, and they happened to be at the same table with Old Lady Rong's family, so they had someone to talk to.

Seeing Old Madam Rong, Jiang Fugui thanked her gratefully. If it weren't for Old Madam Rong lending the embroiderer to help, she would not have been able to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet as scheduled tonight.

The heavy rain kept dripping, hitting the glazed tiles on the palace roof and falling on the windows pasted with oil paper.

After a long time, the sound of faint string music came from the front hall in the distance, which meant that the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet had officially begun.

In less than a moment, a young eunuch trotted into the harem, whispered a few words to the host, and then the banquet began here.

As it was raining heavily, the full moon could not be seen. Fearing that the girls would be constrained and feel nervous and bored, the head of the harem asked the head nanny to open the left and right halls and place some small toys and musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings for the girls to play with.

The old ladies and wives of each family accompanied the nobles in the palace to the Imperial Garden to listen to a short opera.

It was at this time that Jiang Fugui and Jiang Huagui obtained the permission of Old Lady Jiang and went to the two halls next door to have fun with the young ladies from other families.

There are many daughters of marriageable age at today's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Jiang Fugui is not sure whether she will meet those people from her previous life in advance, so before she is ready to deal with them, she plans to avoid them if possible.

Therefore, after Jiang Huagui was recognized and taken away by an acquaintance, Jiang Fugui quietly sneaked out of the hall while no one was paying attention.

The palace where the banquet was held was adjacent to the Inner Storage Courtyard. Jiang Fugui did not dare to wander around the palace at will, so she relied on her memory and walked along the path outside the palace to the Inner Storage Courtyard. She planned to wait there until the banquet was over and then sneak back in quietly.
