Muniang snickered to herself, but she said aloud, "My lady speaks the truth."
The Empress, seeing Muniang's obedient nature, also calmed down and said softly, "You may rise; it wasn't really your affair anyway."
Muniang expressed her gratitude before getting to her feet.
"It's just today's matter..."
Muniang quickly interjected, "The Empress had nothing to say today, my lady is kind and magnanimous, possessing a gentle temperament. I had merely chatted with my lady for a moment, that is all."
The Empress laughed quietly, "You sure are clever. If it were not for your residence in Qinghua City, I would have liked for you to visit the palace more often. With such a pleasant personality, it's quite a pity."
Muniang thought to herself, you might want me to come, but I wouldn't want to!
