Zhou Wanying's eyes suddenly lit up, her cheeks flushed, and she slightly shyly clenched her handkerchief.
Li Yuyu curled her lips, her willow leaf eyes forming a graceful arc, yet the smile did not reach her eyes.
She looked up at Yan Xiu, curious about what he would say.
"The palace road here isn't very hot; if the Emperor is worried about Li Xiurong, he can have someone help her wear knee pads. After all, she must kneel to appease the Empress Dowager's anger. Even if she doesn't kneel for two hours, kneeling for one hour is good enough."
Zhou Wanying hurried forward a few steps, standing beside Yan Xiu, displaying a look of consideration for Li Yuyu.
"Then let it be as Beauty Zhou suggests, kneel for one hour."
Zhou Wanying showed a delighted smile; this was the first time the Emperor agreed with her words.
