Xiana settled on the floor chair after the Empress asked her to. "The Crown Princess must be wondering why I called her at this hour," Empress Yunxian said. She gestured for the servant to serve the tea to them.
"Yes. Her Majesty hardly communicates with me," Xiana truthfully said.
Empress Yunxian liked Xiana's honesty. "It looks like a complaint to me," she remarked and asked Xiana to drink the tea.
"It isn't a complaint, Your Majesty. It is a wish of mine to get close to the Crown Prince's mother as well," Xiana asserted. She lifted the teacup gracefully and took a sip of the tea.
Empress Yunxian also enjoyed the tea with Xiana before coming to the main topic of their conversation.
