They came with ill intentions, so the banquet was naturally a trap. However, the host was the current Empress. Xiaoxiao was about to reach out to take the invitation when Xiao Ran placed her hand on her shoulder and said in a careless tone, "Unfortunately, she has something on that day and can't go."
The nanny looked up at Xiao Ran. Although she was dissatisfied, she was still a little afraid.
After weighing the pros and cons, she still asked bravely, "General Xiao, may I ask what is it that can surpass the Empress's invitation?"
Xiao Ran's tone turned cold. "Nanny, do you think His Majesty's errands are qualified to take priority over it?"
The nanny knew that she had hit an iron plate and left dejectedly.
Xiao Ran spat at her back. "I can tell at a glance that you're up to no good."
Xiaoxiao asked her mother, "What imperial duty do we have to do that day?"
Xiao Ran said nonchalantly, "I'll just get one from the Emperor."
