Ji Mingzhu, Liu Xu, and Xi Yu walked along, chatting leisurely, and felt quite relaxed.
As they returned to the banquet hall in the front courtyard, they resumed their gentle and dignified demeanor.
She raised her hand, inviting the guests to take their seats.
Then she returned to Xie Yunzhen's side.
Uncertain of what they had discussed, she felt the atmosphere was slightly strange.
Ji Mingzhu glanced at Xie Yunzhen, her eyes filled with doubt.
Xie Yunzhen smiled faintly and leaned close to her ear.
In a voice only they could hear, he softly said, "We just talked about parenting tips."
The warm breath brushed against her ear, making Ji Mingzhu feel a bit ticklish.
She subtly distanced herself from Xie Yunzhen, using her gaze to warn him to behave.
Xie Yunzhen raised an eyebrow, "We both have children, what else should we talk about?"
Ji Mingzhu looked helpless; knowing his antics, he surely annoyed the Emperor.
Their interactions were observed by everyone.
