The palace servants stared in disbelief.

As expected of the Empress, she even dares to pinch the face of their Emperor.

Most importantly... it happened in front of so many people.

The emperor's illustrious reputation is about to be ruined.

Di Jingling not only did not object, but even accepted her intimate behavior.

...

On the day of receiving the King of Liang.

Xiao Tang did get to see Princess Liang.

Liang Wang Di Juexiao was only a year older than Di Jingling, and it was said that the two often played together when they were young.

Later, Emperor Juexiao was sent to a remote border region far from the capital to recuperate, and he never returned to the palace.

Despite being the late emperor's eighth brother, he had the lowest profile.

Except for Di Yanqing, all of the late emperor's children and daughters were eliminated by Di Jingling.

On the other hand, these older brothers, each with their own remote fiefdoms, are much more likely to control them.

The Princess Consort Liang opposite Xiao Tang was dressed appropriately, and in terms of age, she seemed to be not much different from Xiao Tang.

"I have long heard that the Empress is so beautiful that she has captivated His Majesty, to the point that he has refused all other women in his pursuit of her. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."

When Princess Liang smiled, her eyes shone.

From the moment she saw Xiao Tang, her eyes seemed to light up.

Xiao Tang had no idea what the Princess Liang's gaze meant...

"Hehe, Your Highness flatters me. I am no match for Your Highness."

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, there's no need to be so modest." She chuckled and nudged her son beside her.

The child looks to be about seven or eight years old. He has a fairly good appearance, but his eyes look a bit vacant.

He was somewhat dissatisfied after being pushed by his mother.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't your mother teach you manners? Why don't you greet Her Majesty the Empress?"
