The summer banquet was usually held at the Summer Palace, and most of the officials who participated were courtiers who followed His Majesty to the palace. However, this year it was being held in the capital city, which meant that the number of attendees had doubled.
The gossip about Prince Xiang had spread widely this morning. As the noblewomen entered the palace for the banquet, they naturally gathered in small groups to discuss the matter.
The palace was bustling today with preparations for the summer banquet, and Su Xinyi was busy checking everything one final time, with palace maids bowing as they passed her.
However, the noblewomen who participated in the banquet this year only learned of an explosive piece of news after they entered the palace: The Empress and the Crown Princess were hosting the summer banquet together.
