Yun Qianyu didn't expect the empress to take note of her. Even though she was stunned, she did not show it. Leading Hua Mei and Little Bell, Yun Qianyu took a step forward and greeted the empress.
"Your subject greets the Empress."
The empress nodded and saw that Yun Qianyu had covered her face. Not putting any blame on her, the empress just asked, "How's your face?"
"Your Highness, thank you for your concern. This subject is alright."
"That's good. If you were unwell, Ninth brother would surely pester me and the emperor."
The empress laughed after saying that and the crowd also laughed with her.
Everyone there looked at Yun Qianyu and then toward Xiao Jiuyuan.
No one could see Yun Qianyu's expression because of her veil. However, Xiao Jiuyuan was obviously annoyed as his face darkened.
