Tian Ni is also one of the girls invited by the empress. She was already older than these girls thus she deemed that it's unworthy to talk with them. They are not someone important to her life and she doesn't like them. She is only here to pass her boring time since Nanglong family didn't allow her to get inside their residence anymore.
The empress takes them to view the garden and the girls are all whispering with each other. Some of them talk with the empress to impress the woman while the other just followed and giggled from time to time.
"It's Tian Ni, right? She's already 20, but still looks young."
"What do you know, she's General Soujin fiancée."
"Right, they are paired as the most stunning couple in the whole Ming Kingdom."
"Yes, too bad that General Soujin hadn't tied the knot yet. I heard she had just returned to Ming Kingdom."
"Really? Is that the real reason for the delay?"
"Shush, stop talking about her. She might hear you from this distance."
