She understood him.
Feng Yi stayed for lunch, which was when Song Yunzhao remembered the New Year's banquet and brought it up with the Emperor.
"Consort Zhuang and Lady Lu both said that noble women are to be invited to the palace for the New Year's banquet to celebrate. Emperor, will we be doing that this year?"
Feng Yi nodded. "Yes, that is the custom."
He looked up at Yun Zhao and saw her frowning, a conflicted look in her eyes. He couldn't help but smile. "What are you thinking about?"
"Emperor, if I invite my aunt to the banquet, will people point their fingers at me and call me unfilial?" Song Yunzhao asked with an earnest expression.
'How could I not see through her little scheme?' Feng Yi thought. 'She doesn't get along with her birth mother and doesn't want the woman to bask in her glory, but she also wants to avoid being labeled unfilial. So, she's deliberately testing me. Doesn't she just want me to step in? For me to take the heat for her?'
