Su Yan glanced towards Chu Yuxiao as he blinked once, then she bowed low before the Emperor, saying,
"Yes, Father-Emperor."
The words 'Father-Emperor' came out rather stiff from her lips.
Moreover, it even gave her goosebumps...
The Emperor seemed very pleased, and laughed heartily again.
He instructed someone to offer them seats, and after chatting for a while, the eunuch Wan respectfully reported:
"Your Majesty, the Empress has sent someone. She requests the presence of the Seventeenth Princess; she wishes to see her."
"Good, Little Shiqi, you should visit your mother's bedchamber then.
Knowing that you have regained your senses, she must be eager to see you."
"Yes." Su Yan rose to perform a salute, opened her mouth, and, with a dry and forced tone mimicking the speech of the palace, said, "Father-Emperor, your humble daughter takes her leave."
She suddenly felt that living in the palace was so exhausting.
No matter what one did, etiquette had to be observed.
