Chương 1165: The Empress (1)

When Long Xi arrived at the Empress' room, sixth princess Long Qin was at her bedside accompanying her. Long Qin was the Empress' only daughter. She had just turned 14 and was at that age when a young girl was just about to bloom.

Although the Empress was nearing 50 years of age, she had maintained her appearance and looked only about 30. However, all that exquisite make-up couldn't hide her frailty. Lying on the bed, a gentle smile lit up her face when she saw Long Xi arrive.

"Xi, you look rather unhappy today."

As Long Xi looked at his bedridden mother, he dared not reveal the slightest sign of depression. He forced a smile as he shook his head.

Long Qin stared at Ji Fengyan, who was standing beside Long Xi, with sparkling, almond-shaped eyes. She quickly sized up Ji Fengyan.

"Brother, is this my future sister-in-law? She looks exquisite."
