Chapter 703 - 701: Simply Understands Too Well
Ye Xinyan inwardly complained about Duke An. As an old fox who had been lurking in the Imperial Court for decades, he couldn’t even give a newcomer like her a hint. At this moment, even if he just cleared his throat or shifted his steps slightly, it would help her gauge the danger of the situation.
She didn’t know what a normal response should be when the Emperor addressed her, so in her confusion, she could only try to show utmost respect.
She kowtowed again. Damn, this was so frustrating.
"Your Majesty, the small woman visited Prime Minister Han’s residence the day before yesterday to pay respects to Miss Han of the Han Family," Ye Xinyan replied respectfully.
By indicating her visit as a sign of admiration for Miss Han, that should be acceptable, right? Ye Xinyan was a bit uncertain, but it was the only answer she could give.
The Emperor glanced at Duke An and saw that he wasn’t worried in the least, standing there with his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart, not at all concerned that his granddaughter, facing the court for the first time, might make a mistake.
The Emperor continued, "Oh, tell me about the details of the visit." He didn’t believe that this woman would dare to deceive the Emperor or refuse to tell the truth.
Uh, the specifics... Ye Xinyan started to sweat a little.
"Your Majesty. Well, the small woman was warmly received by Miss Han and the elders of the Han Family at their residence. We engaged in friendly and intimate conversations, under the principle of mutual understanding and seeking common ground while preserving differences, enhancing our comprehension of both sides. Although the elders of the Prime Minister’s Mansion and Miss Han reserved judgments about many of the small woman’s views, after discussion, we managed to reach a consensus on certain matters."
She kowtowed again to signal that she had finished speaking.
