Lanqi smiled and replied, "I've just been flipping through them randomly. To tell you the truth, I haven't understood anything I've been reading."
Noble Lady Hui set the book down to have tea with them. She had heard through the grapevine that the Emperor had sent lots of books to the Uya girl, and as it turned out, the rumors were right. It was obvious that the Emperor was still very much enamored with her. Besides, after Lanqi's beating, Aunt Sumala had personally helped Lanqi put on her medication. This meant that the Grand Empress Dowager wasn't really angry with her.
However, Noble Lady An was so intent on hating Lanqi that she wouldn't have thought about these. It was the pregnant and bed-bound Noble Lady Rong who had cautioned her to zip it.
As she passed a teacup to Noble Lady Hui, Lanqi said lightly, "I heard we have a few more sisters joining us."
