On the occasion of Song Ci's birthday, just as Madam had forewarned Guan Shuyan when she first entered the family, today was her chance to show her skills by assisting Madam with hosting the banquet.
It was a small birthday celebration, and Song Ci didn't invite too many people. Some close friends were invited but couldn't come due to poor health, including Old Madam Wei, who was ill.
So those attending the banquet were mostly family members, some relatives by marriage, Princess Anping, and even the Madam of Earl Anle Mansion came.
Although the number of people was not large, all were the most eminent ladies within the Beijing Circle. Their families, though not of pure roots, were currently at the height of their fame, which made many regret missing such a gathering.
