As Murong You spoke, she turned to Shen Jiao and bowed in apology: "Your Majesty, we apologize for our rudeness."
Having been offered such a way out, Shen Jiao wouldn't be ungrateful, so she waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Murong Chen was so angry she could hardly breathe: "!!!"
Murong You, whose sister are you?!
Now that things have come to this, it would be too unseemly and beneath his dignity for him to continue being so aggressive.
So, Murong Chen simply turned his nose in the air, snorted coldly, and stormed off.
Huh? They're gone already? Good riddance. It's safer to stay away from harems. Shen Jiao withdrew her gaze, wanting to say something, but she didn't see that figure. She asked Xi'an, "Where is the Ninth Princess?"
Xi'an replied, "They left too, but took a different route when you weren't looking."
Shen Jiao was taken aback: "Huh? Why did you leave so soon? I didn't even have a chance to say thank you."

She is now a first-class palace maid by the Empress's side, just like Eunuch Wang is by the Emperor's side. It is not impolite for her to go to see the Ninth Princess.
It would be inappropriate for Her Majesty to go in person.
“That’s fine.” Shen Jiao naturally thought of this as well.

Shen Jiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?"
Xi An said, "That Ninth Princess walks with her arms and legs moving in unison."
Shen Jiao casually said, "Really? Maybe she's nervous? I've seen some people get so nervous that they fumble around. It's not a big deal, don't worry about it, and don't laugh at it."
Nervous? Xi'an clearly felt that the Ninth Princess was excited, but why was she so excited for no reason?
She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't say anything more.
Having only made this one trip, Shen Jiao had no more desire to wander around, lest she run into someone she shouldn't have. She turned around and called Xi An to go find Liang Heng to draw the token for the final painting competition.
