Empress Chen appeared smug, as if she held all the winning cards, which truly made one want to smack her.
Ji Ruyan coldly replied, "As long as you don't provoke me, I have no reason to trouble you."
"Good! The vegetarian dishes from Cangyun Villa are famous in Yi Country. Miss Ji, would you be interested in dining together?"
Empress Chen unexpectedly extended the invitation.
Ji Ruyan looked at her, who was acting all mysterious, and couldn't guess what she was plotting.
"What? Don't dare?"
Empress Chen taunted, shooting Ji Ruyan a provocative glance.
Ji Ruyan chuckled coldly, "It's not that I don't dare—it's just that in your company, I'm afraid it might cause me indigestion."
Her words caused a slight change in Empress Chen's expression.
But, having weathered many storms, it only took a blink for her to put on a welcoming smile once again.
