Chapter 74: Royal Court I

"All rise! His Majesty has arrived." 

When the guard announced the arrival of His Majesty, Yang Ning who was trying to be calm until now, panicked and hurriedly gathered her long skirt in order to stand up to greet him. She still couldn't get used to the fact that she was meeting the Emperor which caused her hands to tremble and made her actions look clumsy. 

However, when she looked at Zheng Liang, who looked graceful and elegant while standing up, she suddenly felt ashamed of her clumsiness. Even though she is Fang Li, she still needs to pretend to be Yang Ning and if she keeps making mistakes like that, everyone will find out about her identity very soon. 

Upon remembering the proper royal etiquettes, she loosened her grip on her long skirt and placed both of her hands politely in front of her stomach, bent her back in a ladylike manner, and bowed to the Emperor to greet him," Greetings to His Majesty!"
