People said she and the Zhan family's eldest daughter had looked nearly identical as children. She herself could see the resemblance in her features to Second Miss Zhan, too. It was no wonder Madam Zhan and Old Master Zhan had been convinced from their first glance that she was one of their own.
Noble Princess Consort Zhan happened to look over at Ye Qianning just then. Seeing the little girl studying her, her expression softened into a faint smile, her excitement concealed deep down.
"We don't see the two of you Princess Consorts in the palace for weeks at a time. Today is truly a rare occasion," the Empress said with a smile.
"I didn't have a chance to speak with Your Majesty at the banquet the other day, so I thought I would take advantage of this festive occasion to come and partake in the cheerful atmosphere," Princess Changyang said gently, patting Xiang'er on the head.
Nanxiang immediately took the hint and stepped forward. "Aunt Empress, haven't you missed Xiang'er?"
