In a situation like that, how could the Emperor possibly notice anyone else?
The smartest thing to do was to stay out of her way for now. After a year or so, once the Emperor's fascination with Song Jieyu had faded, that would be the best time for them to make their move.
That was why she had absolutely no intention of competing with Song Yunzhao for favor right now. But what happened tonight had left her terrified.
Of the three high-ranking concubines, Consort Lu had the worst temperament and had lost her title after a clash with Song Jieyu. This time, it was Princess Consort Wan, who had actually found a dancing girl who looked just like her. Such an insult was truly humiliating, but she never expected Song Jieyu would refuse to take it lying down and actually storm off.
This was the Qixi Banquet, of all things.
When word of this reached the court, who knew what the fallout would be.
