Li Ru finished playing and turned to look at Lei Xing, who smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up and Li Ru happily smiled in response.
When the Emperor did not say anything, Lei Xing slightly knit her brows and turned to him. The Emperor smiled at her, happy she was finally looking his way, only to see her frown with her eyes motioning towards Li Ru. He blinked and raised an eyebrow in confusion, but quickly figured out that she wanted him to give some praise to Li Ru.
"Very good." He commented and then got up to leave and they all got up as well to bid him farewell. He enjoyed sitting with Lei Xing, even when they were not talking or doing anything but someone else being there, namely another one of his wives really ruined the mood. Lei Xing did not even allow him to simply hold her hand much less look his way. He glanced at Li Ru feeling a bit disgruntled, then looked at Lei Xing who was looking down and narrowed his eyes.
