Chapter 351
Yan Zhao was taken aback, her mind momentarily sluggish, finally understanding why Ren Qingyue had asked her to change her clothes.
She instinctively looked down at herself, confirming whether her outfit was appropriate for today and reflecting on whether her words and actions had crossed any boundaries when she walked into the room.
A person who was never afraid of anything suddenly felt quite anxious inside.
If the Fox Empress didn't like her, how could she possibly gain the Fox Empress's approval?
In a daze, the Fox Empress replied in surprise, "Oh?"
Yan Zhao's heart raced, and she inexplicably became shy, trailing behind Ren Qingyue, suddenly at a loss for words. She stammered a greeting to the Fox Empress, "Uncle, hello, Auntie."
"Hello to you too," the Fox Empress said with a gentle smile, beckoning them, "Don't just stand there; come and sit for a while."
Yan Zhao stood foolishly like a wooden stake until Ren Qingyue tugged at her, prompting her to stumble over and sit down beside her.
Even without her senior sister's prior reminders, she now didn't know how to speak.
The Fox Empress, smiling warmly, said, "Our child has grown up and also has someone she cares for." She held Yan Zhao's hand, pulling her a little closer, "Let Mother take a good look at the person who can make our child happy. What do they look like?"
Yan Zhao let the Fox Empress examine her, feeling more nervous than ever when meeting an elder. Her palms were sweaty, and she wanted to say something but was afraid she would mess it up, so she could only keep a stiff face, looking somewhat dazed.
After waiting for a moment, the Fox Empress smiled, "Very good; you're extremely pretty."
Yan Zhao's heart raced wildly at the compliment, feeling even more nervous than before, a stark contrast to her earlier boldness.
It was at this moment that Ren Qingyue spoke up, "Yan Zhao has a pure nature and carries a childlike heart. She is... cough, a good person."
Halfway through her words, her face turned red. The Fox Empress noticed and teased, "Oh, look at you blushing. Do you like her that much? You won't marry anyone else but her?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Qingyue's face turned even redder, yet she still nodded firmly, "Mm."
Yan Zhao felt a jolt of energy, as if swallowing a calming pill, a surge of strength emanating from within her.
She immediately spoke up, exclaiming loudly, "I like my senior sister too!"
Ren Qingyue shot her a look, signaling her to stop talking, but the Fox Empress was intrigued, eagerly asking Yan Zhao, "Really? Just how much do you like her?"
Talking about love in front of elders was incredibly embarrassing, causing Ren Qingyue to wish she could find a crack in the ground to hide.
Yet despite her inner embarrassment, she unconsciously pressed her lips together, gripping her skirt tightly while also straining to listen to what Yan Zhao would say next.
Yan Zhao answered without thinking, "I like my senior sister in every way."
If someone else had said this, Ren Qingyue might have thought them insincere, but the way those words came from Yan Zhao's mouth felt especially genuine, without a hint of calculation.
Ren Qingyue observed the Fox Empress discreetly, uncertain whether the Fox Empress was satisfied with Yan Zhao's answer.
However, the Fox Empress smiled, though her eyes seemed to carry a hint of contemplation, making Ren Qingyue feel uneasy.
