Her voice was gentle and moving.

Lu Xingjian glanced at her, but did not take the teacup. Instead, he gestured for her to place it on the table next to him.

Yanruo's heart nearly leaped out of her chest from being stared at.

My fingertips trembled, and the teacup was a little unsteady, making a clinking sound when placed on the table.

He finally looked at me properly!

Would you be interested in me?

Sun Qingyu kept her eyes down, not daring to look at the scene before her.

To be honest, she felt the Wang family was too impatient.

The day after the emperor and empress's wedding, Yanruo was sent to curry favor with the emperor.

That's really disrespectful to the new queen.

But she knew that this was a last resort.

The emperor rarely visited the inner palace, making even a single meeting extremely difficult.

If we don't take this opportunity to make Yanruo a familiar face and leave an impression, who knows when she'll see the emperor again.

A young woman's youth only lasts a few years; it shouldn't be wasted.

After serving the tea, Su Wanwan finally took her seat.

Madam Wang asked with a smile, "How does this pre-Qingming Longjing tea taste?"

Lu Xingjian merely touched his lips slightly: "It's acceptable."

Su Wanwan smiled and said, "I find it very delicious."

Lady Wang then said, "The Emperor certainly has some. I won't give any to him, but I'll have someone send some over to Wanwan later."

Su Wanwan thanked her and smiled:

"My grandmother dotes on me, but I dare not act on my own. I must also share some with the two ladies and Miss Yanruo."

Madam Wang was even more pleased and teased affectionately, "They already have it there. You're quite the clever one, knowing how to use my things to present to the Buddha."

His words made everyone laugh.

The atmosphere in the room was joyful and harmonious.

After exchanging a few more words, Wang yawned, and it was time for lunch.

Su Wanwan escorted Wang to the bedroom, helped her change and lie down before leaving.

When they returned to the main hall, Lu Xingjian was talking to Yanruo.
