...
Outside the palace.
Zui Yichun sat in the carriage with Madam Zui.
"Mother, why hasn't elder sister sent someone yet? Look how the sun is blazing. Could it be she deliberately wants to tan my skin so the Emperor won't fancy me? Why is her heart so vicious?"
Zui Yichun lifted the carriage curtain with one hand, glaring towards the palace gate and loudly criticizing Zui Yiming's malicious actions.
"Hush!"
Madam Zui nearly raised her hand to cover her daughter's mouth upon hearing her words.
In the end, she only made a silencing gesture, not doing anything to her daughter.
"Chun'er, are you crazy? Ming'er may be your elder sister, but she's the Empress. How can you speak like this? It's a crime of great disrespect!"
Not that she thought her daughter was wrong, as she herself believed Zui Yiming had ulterior motives, deliberately keeping them waiting at the palace gate for so long.
But what does that matter?
