Xinjie looked around the banquet hall with a smile. She's never been happier, Eden didn't show up at the first banquet of the spring festival. Everyone is already talking about how the minister used his relationship with Shenyan to marry the emperor and now move into the imperial palace. They believe that Eden manipulates Shenyan to get whatever he wants out of the emperor since he would do anything for his son.
After she stopped crying she decided that she would destroy his reputation before he dies. In a couple of days, Eden will be gone and it seems like he is already struggling with everyone talking about him since he didn't show up. Once he is gone when she'll asks to spend time with the emperor he won't refuse her anymore. The only thing that makes her feel better is the fact he's been refusing his entire harem.
