Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty-Seven

"Madam, Noble Consort Li from the palace has sent her confidant to see you," said the servant. "She wishes for you to visit the palace when you have the time, wanting to catch up on old times."

"Noble Consort Li?" Su Wenyue raised an eyebrow. The chief position in the harem had not yet been decided, and Mrs. Guo, Yin Lihua, and Chen Li had all been conferred the title of Consort. It was a sensitive time, and the invitation from Noble Consort Li was unlikely to be as simple as reminiscing about old times—even if they had shared a brief acquaintance in the past, it wasn't worth getting involved in these affairs.

However, since the invitation had been extended, it would not be good to refuse bluntly, as that would surely offend someone. Su Wenyue had not yet thought of a proper way to handle the situation when she received new word that Yin Lihua had also sent for her, adding to her headache.
