Chapter 905 - 902: Going with the Flow
The Eldest Princess nodded but didn’t seem to care, only smiling as she beckoned Bai Qingyan: "Come..."
Bai Qingyan heard and walked towards the Eldest Princess, obediently kneeling down beside her.
Gao Demao saw the maid bring hot tea, stepped forward to receive it, looked up carefully at the maid to ensure there was no problem, and then stepped forward to personally place it on the table before Bai Qingyan and retreated to the side.
The Eldest Princess held back the sourness in her nose, smiling as she surveyed her granddaughter, lovingly raised her hand to touch Bai Qingyan’s long hair tied on top of her head, then reached out to touch her small, delicate face, just as she once did at the Bai Mansion, and spoke to Bai Qingyan with a smile: "You’ve gotten thinner!"
"Marching and fighting is indeed a bit bitter, but don’t worry, Grandmother... I’ll recover in a few days."
The Emperor behind the screen listened to the idle chatter of the grandmother and granddaughter, feeling somewhat impatient, but enduring it when he thought about his Nine-Tiered Terrace.
"Kid, you knew coming into the city this time is attending a Hongmen Banquet and still came..." The Eldest Princess gently grasped Bai Qingyan’s hand, speaking amiably and compassionately, "Is Kid planning to accept Grandmother’s advice and exhibit the greatest sincerity by bowing as a minister?"
But if her granddaughter hadn’t come, it would have been better. If Kid hadn’t come... although she would inevitably feel lonely, she wouldn’t feel such remorse.
