“And these…”
“Answering Your Majesty, they are my third and fourth sister.”
“Then you can relax.” After she was satisfied with how long she made them stand, she let them sit down.
Bai Yu thought that this might be the lightest ‘lesson’ that Empress Dowager Wei could give.
“You are…”
“Answering Your Majesty, my name is Bai Hua.” She answered respectfully, even though inside she was irritated by Empress Dowager Wei’s action.
“So it was you who treated the villager.”
“Answering Your Majesty, yes, it was me.”
“Come closer.”
Bai Hua stood up and walked toward the Empress Dowager before kneeling down in front of her. Her face was slightly lowered, just as Bai Yu had taught her.
Empress Dowager Wei took Bai Hua’s chin to lift her face up. The nail guards on her ring finger and little finger that were popular among the inner court women slightly pressed down on Bai Hua’s neck. The commanding eyes of the great phoenix met the peach blossom ones that remained calm.
