บท 583: How much she has repented

Chuntao was adjusting the buyao on her head that Ying Lili had given her when the maidservant informed her about the arrival of the Empress. Chuntao got nervous to hear that and quickly came towards the center of her chamber. Deng Hui came inside and saw Chuntao in front of her.

She kowtowed before her and gave the Empress her greetings.

Deng Hui stepped forward and brought her fingers under her chin. She gently pulled it up and Chuntao happened to look into her eyes.

"Forgive me, for looking straight into your eyes, Your Majesty," Chuntao apologized and she immediately lowered them. Her hands were trembling in fear.

"You are the daughter-in-law of the Royal Family of Han. I will not punish you for looking into my eyes and also you are no longer a commoner but the wife of the Fourth Prince. You should not get scared easily," Deng Hui said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Chuntao replied.
