Empress Gu Zongying and the emperor were patiently waiting for Xie Yuxuan and Cai Ruolan to come downstairs before they would start eating.
She was determined to wait for even an hour, so far her daughter-in-law was still under the same roof with her.
On top of the table were dishes of all sorts, garnished with different vegetables.
Xie Peizhi was almost about to take her chopstick, when they all suddenly heard the footsteps of someone running down the staircase.
They all turned to see who dares to run inside the palace, they were shocked to find out that it was their beloved Cai Ruolan.
There was a scared look on her face as she lowered her walking steps, it seems like she noticed the surprised looks on their faces.
Empress Gu Zongying could hear Cai Ruolan panting as she greeted them a good morning, she instantly motioned her to come and seat beside her.
Cai Ruolan curtsied then sat beside the empress with a small smile.
“Thank you mother”
