Tea Party (IX)

Seeing Chang Ah wailing and creating a scene, Yang Ning wasn't even surprised because this woman had no shame. Not only did she dare to crash her party, but she also accused Yang Ning of disrespecting her and creating such a scene.

The reason Yang Ning didn't invite Chang Ah wasn't just because she didn't like her but also to avoid a significant incident from happening, as per the events in the novel. There was a scene in the novel where, on the day of the Emperor's lunch with the ministers, their wives also came to the palace to greet His Majesty. After lunch, the ladies visited Yang Ning at the Empress's residence, where Yang Ning arranged tea and snacks for everyone.
