073 Princess Pingning Performs Magic Again_1
Su Luo glanced at the diminutive gatekeeper, giving Qing Yi a meaningful look.
Qing Yi lagged two steps behind, slipping the gatekeeper some broken silver.

Jiang Shu and Su Luo went directly to Songhe Hall.
The hall was brightly lit with candles. As soon as the old Madam saw Jiang Shu, she beckoned to him. "Shushu, come and sit beside your grandmother!"
Jiang Shu took the seat next to the old Madam, putting him on equal footing with the Commandery Princess Pingning.
The old Madam instructed Mama Li, "Quickly go and bring the bird's nest porridge. The banquet in the palace is all for show - who could possibly eat their fill? Don't let my dear grandson go hungry!"
