After the Empress left, Zheng Yi turned his gaze towards Noble Consort Cui, whose expression was calm as still water.
Her name was Cui Xiabing, and she was the granddaughter of the current cabinet minister, Cui Jinghao, and came from a prominent family.
Her looks were not of the dazzlingly beautiful kind, but rather exuded a gentle and serene aura.
It was said that she particularly enjoyed reading, and was once a famous talented woman in the capital, with a notably strong scholarly air.
In Zheng Yi's eyes, she belonged to the category of scholarly beauty.
If she were to wear glasses... she'd be even more extraordinary.
"Noble Consort Cui."
Noble Consort Cui was visibly taken aback, then quickly rose and said, "Your Majesty."
"Are you feeling better?"
"In response to Your Majesty, I have mostly recovered."
"That's good to hear. I was worried that the Imperial Physicians' skills weren't high enough to treat your ailment."
"Your Majesty overestimates."
