Although the stares of the people never left her, Li Xue slowly grew all accustomed to it. No longer taking them into consideration, she stayed there naturally having chats with Chen Rui.
From the moment Li Xue appeared near the royal couple, no one went to greet them. So, neither Chen Rui nor Shin Tingming got the opportunity to introduce Li Xue. And they found it to be better this way. It made them avoid the weird speculations of the people.
After some time, Shin Tingming looked at his watch. "It's time." He said as Li Xue and Chen Rui turned to look at him while he turned to gesture to someone to make the announcement.
Soon, a person appeared in the middle of the hall to announce, "Greetings to respected royal members. It's great to have all of you here once again under the same roof. It's already time to proceed with today's plans. So, I request you to please take your seats, so that we can begin."
