Yun Jiao's head was about to explode; it was just after New Year, and they wanted to arrange some absurd marriage before Ruru even turned eight in September!
She knew very well that the Empress called her 'sister' so warmly because she brought benefits to the Empress.
This feigned warmth was intended to draw Duke and Jiang Youzhi closer through her.
Yun Jiao was always clear-headed and never got dizzy from the Empress's frequent calls of 'sister.'
To the Empress, she always showed appropriate enthusiasm but never let her guard down.

Now that the Imperial Concubine was favored, the Empress was a bit anxious.
