The Emperor's tone of speech was still as usual.
Lady Bai's smile grew slightly stiff upon hearing these words.
Clearly, she had exerted all her skill, why did the Emperor appear utterly unmoved?
Could it be that her beauty had faded and his affections waned?
No, it shouldn't be.
She glanced towards the other concubines.
Envy, jealousy, admiration...
These expressions were enough to prove that her dance today was truly unexpected.
Yet, why was the Emperor's attitude like this!
One must say what needs to be said, and maintain the appearance that needs maintaining.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
After she barely managed to sit down, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, looking displeased.
Princess Consort Yi glanced at her, internally feeling her efforts were utterly futile.
In theory, the Emperor had been so reserved for so long, it was odd for him not to be tempted.
