Before entering the palace, Yu Niaoniao had already guessed that Empress Wen might mention "Double Beauties".
She smiled and said, "We did perform Double Beauties last night. I didn't expect the Empress to be interested in opera."
Empress Wen looked at her steadily.
"You haven't forgotten what I told you, right?"
Yu Niaoniao did not answer and asked, "I wonder what you mean?"
Empress Wen said, "You don't have to act stupid. You know very well what I mean."
Yu Niaoniao pretended to be troubled.
"I really don't understand. I hope the Empress can explain more clearly."
Empress Wen's expression darkened. "Are you determined to go against me?"
Yu Niaoniao looked back at her neither servile nor overbearing.
