"Servant humbly greets the Emperor, may the Emperor live ten thousand years!"
The two eunuchs, upon seeing the person emerging from behind the door, were nearly scared witless. Unable to quickly retract their legs, they fell backward straight onto the floor yet swiftly knelt down to kowtow.
Princess Consort De and Noble Lady Ying did not expect Yan Xiu to be the one opening the door.
The moment they saw Yan Xiu appear, their faces turned pale, and only two words floated in their minds: "Finished!"
"This concubine humbly greets the Emperor."
"Servant humbly greets the Emperor."
Princess Consort De and Noble Lady Ying came forward to pay respects, followed by a crowd of palace maids, eunuchs, and elder ladies, with guards from afar also kneeling down to kowtow.
Yan Xiu's deep phoenix eyes swept across the crowd kneeling on the ground, finally settling on the face of Princess Consort De.
"Princess Consort De, Noble Lady Ying, excellent, truly excellent!"
