She recognized something in him.
Perhaps there was something familiar in the frost that laced his demeanour; a pair of phoenix eyes flashed in the dowager's mind and she took a step back, unease seizing her heart in a vice-like grip.

Not the baby!
Through the orderly trunks of the peach blossom trees that lined the cobbled path, just beyond the sweeping curtains of willows by the pond's edge, a frantic crowd was gathering.

"My Man is responsable, has integrity and I trust him" is such an amazing way to counter here to her.
"Then His Majesty is filial indeed," was Yan Zheyun's curt interjection. He raised his head and met the dowager's gaze levelly. "Royal Mother, it is plain to see that the only similarity between Emperor Xiaocheng and His Majesty lies in that one character 'Xiao'', filial." Hidden beneath his long sleeves, his fists were tightly clenched. The mere insinuation that Liu Yao would even be tempted, the incessant attempts to turn them against each other, he was frankly sick of it all. "Even if this child-subject wanted to be Zhao Feiyan, we will have to see if His Majesty is willing to play the part of the most ineffectual emperor of the Western Han Dynasty and I think it is safe to say that he would not."

I very much appreciate this context.
As for Zhao Feiyan, who was she? Nothing but a dancer sold into a princess' estate to be trained as a dancer. As a matter of fact, it was Yan Zheyun's dance instructor, the most sought-after courtesan in the kingdom, who currently held the title of 'Great Ye' Zhao Feiyan'. To bring Empress Zhao up now was to compare Yan Zheyun to her, a dancer who was just lucky enough to catch the eye of the ruler. Naturally, the role of Zhao Hede would fall on Yan Xi to enact.

I knew someone who traveled along a trail in Europe with a group. She started getting on well with a particular guy and started seeing him. Well, 6 months or so later someone calls for a person whose name is unfamiliar to her. It was him. It was his legal name which was apparently very different from the name she new him by. Apparently She looked at him and was all "We've been sleeping together for months and I'm only now finding out your name is ------------- ". This is a story she told us when she was introducing us to her husband. They have a kid now.
Glad, you're back! Wishing you well!
