The Birthday Banquet

When the Fifth Princess learned that the task of organizing the birthday banquet had been assigned to Shaoshang, she became jealous and resentful. Using the excuse of performing a dance at the banquet, she led a group of noblewomen into the palace. The Empress instructed Shaoshang to temporarily arrange for them to stay in Consort Yue's Yongle Palace. However, on the way, the Fifth Princess seized a moment when Shaoshang was unprepared, pushing her into the river.
