When we reached the stage, he helped me up and then, looking at the guests and his family, he proudly uttered as he glanced toward me, " This is the person I was talking to you all about. She is the person thanks to which this has been possible in the first place."
" Please stop complimenting me, Your Majesty!" I subconsciously muttered but it was all hopeless. What was I supposed to do now?
" This is Ms. Ying Yue and she's the imperial nanny of my son, Prince Li Wei, and also a friend of mine." The guests were stunned when the emperor addressed me as his " friend."

The emperor's last sentence confused not only the guests but also me. " What exactly did he mean by that phrase?" That was what was going through my mind at that moment.
