Meng Shi: *placing hairpins in her hair*
An attendant: *holding a mirror for her* you look very sweet and gorgeous today? Tai Hou jiejie.
Meng Shi: thank you.
Four maids: *entering* greetings Tai Hou.
Meng Shi: oh hi darlings.
Yes, your tea was excellent.
Thanks, Tai hou.
We're here to groom your fox tail.
Meng Shi: lovely! *smile* Now I wonder if you can handle them.
Of course, Tai Hou. You're delicate like Huangdi after all.
Meng shi: *makes her nine fox tails appear*
Maids: *astonished* WOW!!
well you are the goddess of Hulijings!
You're magnificent.
I guess we have to get some more maids.

Meng Shi: *giggle*
Maybe we can dismiss grooming today.
I must get ready for the banquet.
Yes Tai Hou. As you say.
Attendant: *hands her a handfan*
Meng Shi: thank you. Let's go.
Tai hou: how was the caravan ride?
Meng Shi: it was so fun! I really enjoy it.
Great that you enjoyed, Tai hou.
Meng Shi: I'm supposed to do it again, and also meet Yao'er's citizens.
As you must.
Meng Shi: after that, I have to visit Moling Su.
Hmmm what a busy Huanghou.

During the soiree/banquet, some guests were seated while some others were moving about. Meng Shi however was chatting with some fox spirits, who have her flowers and expensive gifts.
A-Yao and Rusong also mingled with some guests along with team dimple.
Tai hou, you're really beautiful in real life.
Thank you for giving us such a brilliant and caring Huangdi.
Meng Shi: oh you recognize my A-Yao's talent. Yes he's indeed brilliant.
He fought a lot for women equality as well.
Also he protected his empire for threats.
Meng Shi: ahh, I'm so proud of him.
You're the sweetest thing, Tai hou.
Huangdi got his cuteness from you.
Imperial dimples.
Meng Shi: *smiling*
It's so nice to meet you. And thank you for the compliments.
Tai hou, let's toast to your perfect descendants.
Our sweetest Huangdi and ideal Dianxia.
Meng Shi: sure. I would like to toast.
The Mengs are a blessing to hulijings.
Xichen: A-Yao. *toasts*
Yao: *toasts*
Xichen: you look very happy today.
Yao: yes. Because the one I care about the most is here.
Xichen: that's so sweet. *caresses his face* stay happy like this. It's precious.
Team dimple: *fuming*
Su she: look at the lan. Making us look bad.
Mo xuanyu: we care so much about Yao gege.
Xue yang: lipsy is stealing the show. Let's do something.
Xue yang: Jiggy. Jiggy.
Yao: yangyang.
Xue yang: I'm just happy you're happy. And I'm more happy than Lan lips.
Mo xuanyu: A-Yao, your smile and dimples are our reason to live.
*kisses*
Su she: Lan lips, do you have somewhere else to be.
Xichen: but I'm just toasting with A-Yao.
Rusong: I'm sorry Shizun. You know how team D is.
Team dimple, are you hungry? I babysit them BTW.
Xue yang: no! And when do you babysit us.
Su she: well he is mini boss Dianxia.
Mo xuanyu: we want Yao gege.
Rusong; well there's your Yao gege.
Yao: team D, please don't fight Huan. *laughing*
Su she: can I still stab him?
Yao: no.
Su she: fine.
Zixuan: *entering* Yaoyao, I'm sorry I'm late. Pregnancy, remember.
Yao: aww Zishie.
*walking towards him* It's ok.
Meng shi: that Madam Jin's son?!! What is he doing here!
Zixuan: A-Yao, I'm so happy for you. May I meet your mom?
Yao: of course.
Zixuan: but would she want to talk to me? My A-niang abused you a lot.
Yao: come on. Don't be afraid.
Meng Shi: *glaring at him*
Zixuan: greetings Tai Hou. *bows* I'm Jin Zixuan, the emperor of peacock spirits.
Meng Shi: ah, quite decent. Unlike Madam Jin.
Pleasure to meet you.
Zixuan: I have never bullied A-Yao. We're actually really close.
Meng Shi: how sweet. Well you know, I have a rivalry with Madam Jin. Yet that doesn't mean that I hate you. You're my like my stepson.
Zixuan: really??
Meng shi: mhm.
My A-Xuan and A-Yao.
Zixuan: awwwwwww. *cries*
Yao: *smile*
Meng Shi: gosh Madam Jin will flip.
But I want that to happen. She needs a chill pill.
Zixuan: *laughing*
Meng Shi: A-Xuan, why do you have a little baby bump.
Zixuan: well Jimu (stepmom), it's a long story, well~~
Yao: it's gas.
Zixuan: yea it's gas.
Meng Shi: oh no. Don't your servants cook for you?
Zixuan: yea. But I get gasy easily.
Meng shi: poor baby.
Yao: *whispers* Zishie, A-niang wouldn't understand mpreg.
Zixuan: oh, I thought she would.
Well it is a new concept.
Yao: yea. And it would make her laugh.
Zixuan: lol.
~~
Thereafter Huaisang came limping into Yao's conference hall during the banquet.
(He was the cloaked guy who wanted to put A-qing against Rusong)
Huaisang: *limping* hey guys.
Su she: are you constipated?
Mo xuanyu: *judging him* have some conduct.
Xue yang: you look like my homewrecker Songlan. Stop it.
Huaisang: *sarcasm* thanks for your concern team dimple.
Yao: team D *nods*
Meng shi: Huaisang, you shouldn't scare team dimple.
Huaisang: *sobs* yes empress.
Meng shi: Yao'er, would he be alright?
Yao: definitely.
Huaisang, how did you get hurt?
Huaisang: Dage made me train again *sobs* and I hit my knee. I feel like I'm dying! Will my leg be amputated. I can't live without a leg.
Yao: oh my.
Xue yang: you perfectly can. It's like living without a tongue.
Huaisang: *disgusted*
San ge!!!!!
Yao: alright alright. Huaisang. Take a seat here. I'll call the physicians.
Huaisang: no no no. The hulijing physicians might find out the reason why I walk with a limp.
Yao: is there something you did? Other than martial practice?
Huaisang: n...no. why would you ask that? I don't want them to think that I'm weak.
Yao: well fine.
Su she: Huangdi, I thought that he was banned from Jing Manor. And where's Xuan Huangdi?
Zixuan: here. Next to the buffet.
Get huaisang away from me. *opens fan and looks away* I'm not in the mood.
Xue yang: what is hurricane Nie doing here?!
Yao: *sigh* it's a banquet guys. As Huangdi, I put things behind me and invited him along with dage.
Su she: ahh. We see. You're so smart and sweet.
Mo xuanyu: love you.
Xue yang: always will.
Yao: *smile*
Meng shi: smart Huangdi.
Yao: thank you A-niang.
Huaisang: *sobs* (this A-qing and her bamboo stick. Why did she have to beat me like that.
I'm not going to be able to walk properly for days)
.
Later on, a special someone arrives!
Sisi: Huanghou jiejie!!! Huanghou jiejie!
Meng Shi: Sisi!
Sisi: *goes to kowtow, but Meng Shi stops her.
Meng Shi: *hugs* no formalities!
Sisi: *looking surprisingly at A-Yao* little Yao'er! You have grown so much!
Yao: aunt Sisi. *hugs* I missed you!
Sisi: I missed you too, little hulijing Dianxia. Or should I say little Huangdi.
Yao: aunt Sisi, I'll always be your little Dianxia.
Sisi: *kisses his forehead* I know, baby.
Meng Shi: yes! He became such a wise and successful Huangdi.
Sisi: and he got really handsome too!
Meng Shi: I know right! He's the cutest thing.
Sisi: I'm so happy for our Yao'er.
Meng shi: mhm. And speaking of cutest, our Yao'er has an adorable son.
Sisi: ahhhh Dianxia!!! Where is he.
Rusong: *enters* I'm right here! Great aunt Sisi.
Sisi: omg. How adorable. He has his A-Die's face. And especially his dimples.
Meng shi: yes.
Sisi: *pinches cheeks* little Dianxia. You're the cutest.
Rusong: *blushing* A-Die, help.
Yao: *laughing* you need to be pinched by your great aunt and grandma once in a while.
Meng Shi: exactly!
Isn't Song'er adorable?
Sisi: yup! I'll give him and Yao'er all my love.
Meng Shi: mn.
Now where were you, darling?
Sisi: meimei. I was hidden in Dongying.
Well someone, I can't remember who it is, was so kind to arrange a hideaway cottage for me to stay somewhere around Moling. But I fled to Dongying because I was pulled into a controversy, also I was terrified if someone found and killed me.
Especially Madam Jin.
Meng Shi: oh gosh! That old bat is still around. Ehem...I mean...Madam Jin, *smiling in a regal way* I must pay her a visit.
Sisi: mhm. But in Dongying, I learnt swordfighting and the way of weilding the Katana. I offer my skill to your service and protection.
Meng Shi: ohh, how amazing. I'm glad that you learnt martial arts.
Sisi: yes. And I took the cultivation books you had bought for Yao'er.
Meng Shi: marvelous.
Yao: I have secretly organized the safe house.
Sisi: ohhh it was You?!! Thank you Yao'er. How should I repay you?
Yao: you don't need to.
Meng Shi: *hugs* A-Si. I want you to live near me.
And remember you wanted to be my personal maid.
Sisi: yes, I do, jiejie!
*bows* thanks for your gratitude!
Meng Shi: no formalities.
And you should teach me how to sword fight some time.
Sisi: you were always my inspiration. You showed that women can do great things in this misogynistic world.
Meng shi: *strokes head* yes. Darling, you can do anything.
A few Su sect members: *offering her flowers* greetings taihou.
Meng Shi: nice to meet you. And they're lovely! Thank you.
Tai hou, you're very pretty.
Do you have a skincare routine?
Meng Shi: *whispers* it's the warm spring water. Keep that between us.
Awww
I heard that Huangdi does the same.
We'll keep your secret.
Does Huangdi's dimples have its own beauty routine?
Meng Shi: of course it does.
Glamorous Mengs!
Sisi: glamorous indeed.
