"If you hadn't sent someone to get me, I probably wouldn't have made it inside. You have no idea how vicious that Princess East Shu is. She even wanted to have me arrested," Ye Qianning said, growing annoyed just talking about it.
"She looked pretty vicious to me, too."
"I know, right? I've never seen such a vicious old woman. And she's so creepy."
"Creepy? What do you mean, 'creepy'?" Helian Chen asked.
"I guess so. I just get the feeling she's like some kind of hag from hell..."
"What's a hag from hell like?" Helian Chen was very curious.
"Well..."
The two children started chattering away without a care in the world, completely oblivious to the fact that the consort of Princess East Shu, sitting directly across from them, had a grim expression on his face.
"Ahem... Miss Xiang, you seem to be in high spirits today." Seeing Princess East Shu enter, Prince Yu coughed loudly to interrupt their hushed conversation.
