The several high-born ladies suddenly stood up, tongues tied, unable to speak a word.
The two of them were exceptionally handsome, like a pair of impeccably matched beings created by heaven and earth, sitting together without overshadowing each other.
Nanli, seeing them hesitate to respond, grew a bit impatient. "If you're going to burn incense to pray to Buddha, you might as well come pray to me."
They were extremely surprised.
One of them, surnamed Xue, said, "Your Highness, you're so amazing, you even figured out that we were going to burn incense."
Nanli rolled her eyes lightly and pointed to the servants accompanying them, carrying baskets filled with fine incense sticks.
"I don't need to figure it out; I can tell just by looking," Nanli replied.
Miss Xue's face turned awkward. "It does seem obvious..."
It was indeed quite apparent.
Nanli set down her teacup. "How about I read your fortunes for a thousand taels of silver?"
The few almost burst out cursing.
