Consort Hui Pin walked quietly by the side.
Xia Ruqing glanced at her, and she returned the look.
The two exchanged a glance, but neither spoke.
The pair in front slowed down more and more.
Xia Ruqing and Consort Hui Pin frowned. Were they making it difficult for others to pass?
It looked as if they were about to collide.
Xia Ruqing could no longer bear it and was about to come forward to take her leave.
Unexpectedly, Consort Ning turned around first, her face wearing an expression of surprise mixed with a feigned smile.
"Oh my! I was wondering why there were footsteps behind us; it turns out to be Sister Consort Xian Pin and Sister Consort Hui Pin!"
Xia Ruqing looked at Consort Hui Pin, then smiled and gave a curtsey.
"Consort Ning!"
Consort Hui Pin also smiled with gentle grace.
"Sister Consort Ning!"
Her voice was soft and sounded so natural.
Xia Ruqing was truly impressed internally. She's definitely a master, indeed very patient!
