Empress Feng's presence graced the scene, her elegance captivating the soul.
Thousands of people stood in North Square, suddenly silent, each and every one bowing in salute.
When in Rome, do as Romans do; Xin Lin had no choice but to slightly lower her body, performing an obeisance.
"There is no need for undue ceremony. I have come uninvited today to see this year's candidates for the Zixiao Palace Exam," said Empress Feng, her voice delightful to the ear, reminiscent of the songs of orioles.
It was as if she had forgotten Xin Lin's earlier offensive remarks, her gaze warm and sweeping around.
Empress Feng's actions made Xin Lin break out in a cold sweat.
She thought that once the Written Examination was over, Little Xinzhuo would have narrowly escaped disaster, not expecting Empress Feng to stoop to visit the examination venue herself.
