Ye Yabing hurriedly called her in, as if someone had entered and the Prince of Ding dared not lift the veil from her face again.
Prince Ding did stop what he was doing and slowly retreated to sit down, but his eyes were cold and sharp, and the previous tenderness was gone.
The maidservant brought in Ye Yabing's cloak, and as she helped her put it on and tied the belt, she said:
