"Understood," Shao He said as she rose to leave. As she started walking through the doorway, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Was the tea served?"
"Tea was served," Qing Shan replied.
Only then did Shao He continue forward, well aware that the Eldest Princess was extremely particular.
Arriving at the front hall, Huimin was tasting tea and looked up indifferently upon hearing footsteps.
"Doctor Shao, you are indeed busy; it's truly not easy to meet you," Huimin said with a mixture of sarcasm and reproach.
Shao He knew the Eldest Princess harbored ill intentions, but she was still an elder, and certain courtesies were due.
"I apologize for my tardiness, Your Highness; please forgive me," Shao He said with a slight bow.
Huimin, however, wasn't appeased by her gesture and instead chuckled, "Who would dare blame you? Now that you are greatly favored by the Imperial Brother and are also the Fifth Prince's Consort."
