Lalisa also heard the words of that consort who praised Lalisa and compared her with Eunbi. She turned to look at that consort and gave her a sweet smile.

The Consort who spoke before became perplexed seeing Lalisa's smile. She awkwardly smiled back.

Then Lalisa turned to look at Eunbi, whose face has become white from anger. She was trying hard to control her temper and maintain a smile on her face.

Hearing the Consort's words, she gave a hostile gaze to Lalisa.

Lalisa noticed her hostile gaze and raised her eyebrows at her.

She smirked seeing the expression of Eunbi, 'She's trying hard to maintain her smile. Hah. Let's see, how long you can maintain your fake smile. ' she snickered inwardly.

Jeongguk noticed all the gazes on Lalisa. He ignored their gazes and held her hands in front of them.

This sudden action stunned Lalisa who was busy having a staring contest with Eunbi.

Even Eunbi was also caught off guard.

Jeongguk looked at Lalisa and led her in front of the Empress Dowager and nodded at her.

Lalisa understood his meaning and they both slightly bent to greet the Empress Dowager.

"Happy Birthday Mother. May you live a healthy and long life." they both greeted Sandara.

On the way to the palace, Jeongguk has told that they have to greet the Empress Dowager once they reached the palace.

So when Jeongguk nodded at her, she understood his meaning.

When Jeongguk wished Sandara a happy birthday, she was happy and all smiley.

But when her gaze fell on Lalisa, who was unwillingly repeating his words with a fake smile on her face, her expressions darkened.

'What a rude girl she is. Does she forgot her manners too with her memories.'

Sandara ignored her and turned to Jeongguk and said, "Oh my son, thank you so much. I am so glad that you're my son. Not everyone has a filial son like you." she said while caressing Jeongguk' s head lovingly.

Right now, she was a mother more than the Empress Dowager.

Jeongguk smiled at her Mother, but his face darkened when she ignored Lalisa.

But Lalisa doesn't mind that she didn't respond to her wishes. She just stood there in a not caring manner.

Seeing Sandara ignoring Lalisa, Eunbi felt satisfied. At least the Empress Dowager was on her side.

Jeongguk turned to look at Lalisa only to found that she was looking at her 'nails?'

He doesn't know if he should be laugh to cry at this moment. He should be happy that she was not affected by Sandara's behavior but are her nails are more important than this banquet?

He found her behavior unique and amusing.

He turned to Sandara and said, "Should we start the banquet now, Mother?"

Sandara gave Lalisa a disdainful look and turned to Jeongguk and said, "Yes. Everyone was waiting for you." she said with a smile.

Jeongguk nodded and held Lalisa's hands again, this action brought her to the reality again.

She followed him, and he showed her, her large royal chair beside him. She looked at the large royal chair made of gold.

Her mouth was kept open. 'Wow. They're filthy rich, to have a golden chair.'

Jeongguk led her to the chair and helped her settle on it. Everyone looked at them with their mouth open.

The Emperor never behaved like this.

Seeing Jeongguk helping her, Eunbi's face darkened.

Her expression became uglier when after helping her, he sat beside her.

He forgot about Eunbi.

When he was helping Lalisa, she has thought, that he might also help her.

But he ignored her?

All the Consorts were jealous of Lalisa right now and some were feeling pity for Eunbi.

Because he forgot about Eunbi.

Especially Sandara was worried about her.

Then Eunbi heard Jeongguk's voice, "Hwang Eunbi, here. You also take your seat." he patted the seat beside him as he gestured her to come and sit.

Eunbi stared at him but Sandara patted her arm, to go and sit. She looked at Sandara and met her assuring eyes.

She smiled and unwillingly went to sit beside him.

While going there, she eyed Lalisa and saw her not interested kind of expression which elevated her temper.

Lalisa looked at Eunbi who was moving towards them with a heavy heart and gave her a mocking smile.

'Hah. It's been only a few minutes and this girl is already going crazy. Don't know what will happen later.' she shrugged her shoulders as she thought about this.
