Upon hearing this, Shen Ningning smiled sweetly, a delicate pink blush gracing her round, tender little face.
"Recommending you to the palace to dine with Uncle Emperor is no problem, but why did you suddenly think of this, Xiao Wei?"
Qi Xiuwei seemed to want to speak but hesitated, continually glancing furtively at the maid beside her. She stammered, unable to think of an explanation.
Seeing this, the maid recalled Mrs. Qi Sr.'s instructions. Taking the opportunity to refill the tea, she cut in before Qi Xiuwei could speak, offering Shen Ningning an apologetic smile.
"Princess, before, when Princess Consort Qi was given the cold shoulder, we sent people to the palace but couldn't get an audience with her. Because of this, Princess Consort Qi misunderstood, thinking the Qi Mansion didn't want to care for her anymore."
