In the hall, Lin Jiaojiao met with the well-informed Xiao Niqiu.
Upon receiving a hint from Xuemei's eyes, Xiao Niqiu quickly knelt down and tapped his forehead on the back of his hand: "The humble Xiao Niqiu pays his respects to Her Highness the Regent King's Consort."
His manners were impeccable, all taught by Xuemei.
"Get up," Lin Jiaojiao said kindly.
Xiao Niqiu stood up, still keeping his head down. Her Highness would not allow people like him to look at her.
However, Lin Jiaojiao said, "Raise your head, there's no need to be so formal."
Anyone who could find Li Maonian's residence must be well-informed in the grapevine.
Xiao Niqiu had no choice but to raise his head. When he saw Lin Jiaojiao's face, he was slightly surprised; she looked familiar, like he had seen her somewhere before.
It made her seem more approachable.
Of course, he dared not let down his guard. Under Xuemei's watchful eye, he remained proper and respectful.
