Until she saw a hint of sorrow on Haitang's face behind Shen Yinning, Huo Mingyan reluctantly relaxed her furrowed brows.
A master and her servant are of one heart.
If Haitang feels this way, Shen Yinning must be uneasy as well.
Huo Mingyan speculated to herself, then gently reminded with a warm smile, "Sisters, you must serve His Majesty well. The palace has few heirs. You should strive to bear offspring for His Majesty, ensuring the continuation of his lineage."
The concubines all rose and bowed: "Your Majesty's teachings shall be honored."
Shen Yinning sat motionless.
She wasn't Lu Ying's concubine, and such trivial matters were none of her concern.
She lowered her gaze and sipped some tea.
The tea in Huo Mingyan's palace was unbearably bitter...
As the Empress, the Kunning Palace shouldn't lack fine tea. The only explanation was that she was too stingy to serve good tea to the concubines.
The Huo family's eldest daughter, truly petty.
