Just as she sat down, she saw another unfamiliar lady standing at the door. She wore clothes different from Easternum's, the color of her clothes were red like fire, and made her skin look as crystal as snow.
The tight clothes wrapped around her graceful figure, revealing all the exquisite curves on her body.
She walked towards the empress dowager with a bright and beautiful smile. "Please forgive the late Yun Ai for being late."
The empress dowager didn't know what Yun Ai Shen Wu was doing behind the scenes, so she naturally wouldn't hate her.
Seeing her enter, he smiled: "Wailing Home is happy today, so I shall forgive you."
"More royal sister-in-law. Yun Ai knows that royal sister-in-law treats Yun Ai the best."
Yun Ai walked to the empress dowager's side and said a few words in a spoiled manner.
Just as she walked to the seat next to the empress dowager and sat down, just like Liu Ruo Qing, she sat down next to the empress dowager.
Many people were guessing Shen Wu Yun Ai's identity. When the empress dowager noticed their curious gazes, she started to introduce him generously: "This is Princess Yun Ai of the Eastern Ocean, this is the Heavenly Emperor's darling, look at her. She is so lawless that she even dares to be late for Wailing Home's invitation."
Although the empress dowager's words sounded like she was criticizing Divine Martial Yun Ai, her amiable expression clearly showed not the slightest bit of anger. Instead, it seemed more like she was joking with Divine Martial Yun Ai.
Yun Ai was not afraid, she was only feigning shyness as she said: "Yun Ai is relying on my father's love, it was clearly because you were being merciful to me, royal sister-in-law, that I dared to be rash in front of you."
As Yun Ai acted like a spoiled child, she didn't forget to praise the empress dowager.
Liu Ruo Qing was only carrying the tea in her hands, tasting it without taking a sip. She sighed at Shen Wu Yun Ai's acting skills, and thought that she had let her down even if he didn't give her an Oscar.
If he didn't know what she was doing behind her back, even she would have been tricked.
Yun Ai looked at Liu Ruo Qing's peculiar gaze and her heart shivered. However, she still smiled and said, "I heard that Big Sister Wang Fei is pregnant, Yun Ai went back to the East Ocean Continent just now and only found out about it yesterday when she entered the palace. I didn't have the time to congratulate Big Sister."
Yun Ai had a polite look on her face, but when she found out that Liu Ruo Qing was pregnant with Yan Yuan, he was so angry that she almost bit off her teeth.
Not only did this woman occupy King Jing's older brother, she even had children. Her luck was really good.
Back then, she had sent out so many experts from the Yi He Sect, yet they didn't kill her. This woman's martial arts were truly profound and unfathomable.
Others might not be able to hear the strange tone in Shen Wu Yun Ai's words, but Liu Ruo Qing could.
She put down the cup, looked at the Divine Martial Yun Ai, and smiled: "Princess Yun Ai is too courteous."
There was a faintly discernible sense of hostility lingering between the two's words. Others might not know it, but they themselves knew it very well.
At this moment, he stopped pretending to be polite and silently carried his tea to the side as he drank it.
When Yun Ai called the empress dowager 'royal sister-in-law', she thought that she was Yan Yuan's little sister. She never thought that she was only a princess of the Eastern Ocean Region, and her status was also similar to hers.
However, seeing that the empress dowager was clearly more affectionate towards her, Feng Yi felt a little unwell in her heart.
As a princess of another country, how could the empress dowager be kind to them?
A person like Feng Yi, who was used to everyone praising her, could not be ignored. Thus, when she found out that Divine Martial Yun Ai was not Yan Yuan's sister, she was extremely upset.
But what made her happy was that Crown Princess Jing was actually pregnant.
She knew that even the most loyal of men had the weakest will during pregnancy.
Back then, the Queen of Fenglan gave his mother a chance when he was pregnant.
She believed that as long as she could successfully attract the attention of the Prince Jing, she wouldn't need to worry about not being noticed by him.
Thinking of this, the cold treatment the empress dowager had given him became much better.
The maidservant didn't think much of those things. Before the Empress Dowager's birthday, she especially invited them to the palace for a feast, treating them extremely courteously. They wouldn't be so overbearing like Feng Yi, really taking themselves seriously.
All of these made the age of the maidservant's family members to be about the same as the empress dowager. Only Liu Ruo Qing, Divine Martial Yun Ai, and Feng Yi were about the same age.
Seeing that they were bored, the empress dowager opened her mouth to speak, "The topics Wailing Home and the various madams are not things that you youngsters like. If you can't sit still, you can go take a look at the gardens."
When the Empress Dowager said this, her eyes landed on Liu Ruo Qing and the other two.
At this time, the snow outside stopped falling. Seeing that the empress dowager had given the order, Liu Ruo Qing would naturally not stay.
In reality, she really had no interest in the topic of conversation between the empress dowager and the other middle-aged women.
Immediately, he stood up and said: "Many thanks royal sister-in-law, then Tian Xin will be going out."
She did not plan to be together with Yun Ai and the others, a woman who had thoughts about her men. She did not have the mood to bother with them, especially since Yun Ai was not an ordinary person.
She did not have the interest to flirt around with Yun Ai personally.
The scenery of the imperial garden was not to be enjoyed even in winter.
In the garden, there were all kinds of flowers blooming in the winter. Although they were not as beautiful as the spring flowers, they were still too beautiful to look at.
When she thought about how she hadn't seen Yun Jiao Rong for a long time, she directly walked towards Yun Jiao Rong's residence.
At first, when People from the Divine Artefact Hall came to the western suburbs of Yun Jiao Rong's courtyard a few times, he was worried. No matter what Yun Jiao Rong said, he still arranged for the People from the Divine Artefact Hall to stay in the palace.
Initially, Kaiser had arranged a thousand elite soldiers to protect her. She didn't want to cause trouble for Kaiser, so she agreed.
However, the palace she lived in was a little remote, so she did not want anyone to criticize Kaiser. When Kaiser arranged for her to live in those concubines, she directly rejected them.
Kaiser didn't want to force her, so she agreed.
However, everyone from the Palace knew that she was the Kaiser's favorite, so they didn't dare to slight her.
As Liu Ruo Qing headed towards the Mourning Cloud Hall, she felt someone following him with quick steps.
She stopped in her tracks, and when she turned around, she saw Feng Yi walking towards her.
"Crown Princess Jing."
Feng Yi slightly nodded in front of Liu Ruo Qing, without even the most basic of salutations.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at her but did not bother about it. She raised her brows and looked at her, somewhat curious why she had specially chased after him.
"Is there anything for Princess Feng Yi?"
Feng Yi didn't hold back and walked over. She glanced at her and said: "I heard that you're pregnant, Princess?"
Liu Ruo Qing didn't know why she asked this, but the look in her eyes and the expression on her face made her feel extremely disgusted, and her eyebrows creased in displeasure.
"Princess Feng Yi caught up with me just to ask me this?"
