Song Yunzhao instinctively straightened her back, looking as if she were about to march onto a battlefield.
"Little Sister Zhao, are you all right?" Ye Xi, sensing something was amiss with the person beside her, immediately asked with concern.
Song Yunzhao quickly replied, "I'm fine. Just a little nervous."
"Don't be afraid. I'm here for you." Ye Xi found it a bit amusing. 'I never thought our family's hot-tempered, sharp-tongued Yun Zhao could actually be scared. What a novelty.'
Song Yunzhao maintained her smile.
A flagstone path led straight to the main hall, the source of the voices they heard. They ascended the stone steps and arrived before the entrance in moments.
A Palace Attendant spotted them and came forward to greet them with a curtsy. "This way, young ladies. Please follow me."
