"Noble Lady Ming's tongue has become much sharper than it was when she was in the manor," the Empress laughed.
"Thanks for the compliment, Your Majesty," Ye Zao laughed, "my tongue has always been like this, perhaps Your Majesty wasn't paying attention."
The Empress smiled thinly, "Is that so? That must have been an oversight on my part."
"That's enough for today, everyone go back. Lady Ye, just take good care of yourself. Before the birth, you don't need to come specifically to pay respects, but remember your manners and don't make the same mistakes," the Empress Dowager said indifferently, disliking their squabbling.
"Yes, Empress Dowager," Ye Zao responded.
Everyone left, following the Empress's lead.

Wuh Changzai couldn't keep her mouth shut and blurted out as soon as she left, "Noble Lady Ming is getting more and more audacious, speaking nonsense even in front of the Empress Dowager."
