Shen Qing's eyebrow raised slightly. "Is this... an invitation from the Wei Qi Marquis Mansion?"
"Yes. The Marchioness Wei Qi holds a flower viewing banquet every spring. In previous years, she would never have sent an invitation to our Prime Minister's Mansion."
At this, Xiang Qiao couldn't hold back her emotion. "She said the only female family member qualified to represent the Prime Minister's Mansion at events is the madam. Young Master Jiang brought this invitation just now. I expect he meant to give it directly to you, Madam, but you happened to be out, so I accepted it on your behalf.
"The flower viewing banquet is the day after tomorrow, so it's a bit rushed. Madam... will you go?"
Xiang Qiao glanced at Shen Qing cautiously. Shen Qing picked up the invitation directly and said, "Of course, I'm going. Why wouldn't I?"
She had to go, for Ah Fu's sake.
Besides, she needed an occasion to formally announce to everyone that she had returned.
