The one yelling at Xiaosuisui and the others was a young girl around fifteen or sixteen years old.
The young girl had a well-proportioned figure and a beautiful face, but her eyes held a cold calculation.
This girl, named Xiao Ning'Er, was the Duke's youngest legitimate daughter. She was the precious child born to the Duke and his wife in their later years. Ordinarily spoiled rotten, and with the maids subtly suggesting she might be chosen to serve the Emperor in the future, she had developed a proud and overbearing personality. She often disregarded others in the palace.
Xiaosuisui suddenly halted, tilting her head to look up at the young Emperor, her cute little face filled with confusion.
"Godfather Emperor, didn't you say that we of the Ji Family don't need to kneel?"
"Is it because we're in the Imperial Palace that we must kneel?"
While Xiaosuisui was trying to understand whether to kneel, the members of the Ji Family had already knelt.
