Hua Manman mumbled under her breath.
"Is it really that ugly?"
Instead of answering, Li Ji asked, "What do you think?"
Hua Manman turned away awkwardly.
'I've decided I'm never making anything for Prince Zhao again.'
When the birthday banquet ended, Prince Zhao and his wife left the Imperial Palace.
On the way there, it was just the two of them in the carriage. On the way back, however, they were joined by a Miss Lan.
Hua Manman tried to suppress the awkward feeling in her heart and asked in a gentle voice.
"Miss Lan, do you have any family?"
She was thinking that if the other woman had family, she could have her sent home.
Miss Lan shook her head. "My parents are both deceased. I have no family left."
As she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Prince Zhao.
Even someone as dense as Hua Manman could see that Miss Lan's gaze held a wealth of emotions.
It wasn't the kind of emotion one would have at a first meeting.
