"..."
Mo Shisheng's lips twitched slightly, and she quickly stood up like the people around her.
The air was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Mo Shisheng didn't look up, but instead lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't you two remind me?"
"Sister, we've called you so many times!" Jiang Yao said in a low voice, her tone urgent.
Even so, Mo Shisheng could still sense the anxiety in Jiang Yao's voice.
Suddenly feeling all eyes on her, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly and slowly raised her face, which was covered by a red veil.
But at that moment, their eyes met in mid-air...
A flicker of disbelief crossed Mo Shisheng's eyes. It was him?
Ming Beiya stepped out of the luxurious sedan chair, his black robes exuding unparalleled elegance. His aloof yet stunningly beautiful face made one feel as if the temperature had plummeted several degrees...
He's actually the Imperial Advisor?
The Imperial Advisor of Xuan Yun Continent is so young?
Mo Shisheng pursed her lips, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes fell on Ming Beiya. She always felt that this man's identity was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
At the very least, he was doubting whether he was Shangguan Yan.
"It seems the Empress's limelight has been stolen by someone else today." Ming Beiya's lips curled into a faint smile, his dark eyes, like ink dots, were unfathomable, devoid of any other emotion, only giving off an endless chill.
After Ming Beiya finished speaking, even the Emperor and Empress turned their gazes toward Mo Shisheng.
"..."
Mo Shisheng's lips were almost stiff with twitching. She was wondering who would discover her outrageous clothes first, but she never expected it to be this idiot who always got along with her!
The Empress's makeup was luxurious and exquisite, but today she wore a bright yellow phoenix robe, clearly showing that she attached great importance to this welcoming banquet.
She frowned slightly, her gaze scrutinizing her. "Whose sister are you?"
"I……"
"Your Majesty, she is Qi'er's younger sister, Shangguan Yan." Just as Mo Shisheng was about to answer, Shangguan Qi stepped forward and bowed slightly to the Empress.
"Get up first."
When the Empress looked at Shangguan Qi, her gaze showed obvious affection, and she even reached out to help Shangguan Qi up herself.
"Qi'er, you are... this is your sister, Shangguan Yan?"
“Yes, Your Majesty, but…” Shangguan Qi hesitated, biting her lip as if she didn’t know how to begin.
"But what?"
Shangguan Qi is an absolutely cunning woman. She guessed that the Empress would keep asking questions, which is why she hesitated to speak.
Mo Shisheng saw all of this, a cold smile playing on her lips. It was her turn to perform.
"But Yan..."
"However, Your Majesty, please don't be angry. May I ask Your Majesty to let me finish speaking?" Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow and walked up to the Empress, giving her a slight bow.
Although her bowing posture was exactly the same as Shangguan Qi's, for some reason, Mo Shisheng's was more unrestrained and pleasing to the eye.
A glint flashed in Ming Beiya's eyes; it seemed this woman was preparing another good show.
Ming Beiya stood quietly to the side, her stunning beauty attracting the attention of many young ladies from prominent families.
