A young eunuch arrived, stepping forward with a smile:
"Second Miss Ye, His Majesty has issued a verbal decree. You are to proceed to Chongyuan Hall at seven o'clock sharp tomorrow evening to attend the palace banquet."
Ye Chutang was somewhat surprised. "But isn't the Wazhen Mission coming to the palace tomorrow—"
"Precisely." The young eunuch's smile grew even wider, his eagerness to please perfectly clear. "His Majesty said you've been working quite hard lately, so he thought you could enjoy the festivities and relax a little."
With neither family standing nor an official title, Ye Chutang would normally not have been qualified to attend a palace banquet held to welcome the Wazhen Mission.
But since Emperor Muwu had told her to go, she would go.
"Thank you. I will be there on time tomorrow."
After she politely saw the eunuch off, everyone in the Ye Mansion heard the news and was overjoyed.
The young maids, in particular, started excitedly pondering what she should wear.
