Hell come, we just dont know when

The empress dowager fell silent.

Perhaps, he has already arrived, perhaps, he needs another year

Mother, dont worry about him! Hell definitely come for next years ceremony!

Are Lanyu and the rest here? The empress dowager let go of this subject and asked about her granddaughter, Ye Lanyu.

She left with Seven, both of them cant sit still. All they do is play outside, though its good they dont get into trouble, said Long Anqi with a loving smile.

They wont get YOU into trouble because both of them can solve any problem added Princess Longji, though there were many meanings to all of this.

Are you all comfortable here? asked the empress dowager suddenly.

Huh? Uh were fine, said Long Anqi, stunned.

As long as youre alright said the empress dowager gently.

Long Anqi was not used to this at all. She clutched Ye Chengtians hand nervously.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned awkward. No one knew what to say. There was a wall between mother and daughter, and it was inappropriate for anyone else to talk about it. All they could do now was to wait for the seconds to go by!

This was still very normal and everyone was sort of used to it.

Ye Chengtian looked up at the skies while Princess Longji took out a book. Both Long Anqi and the empress dowager looked at each other while everyone else waited for them to break the silence.

However, after so long, there was still not a sound in the yard, as if there was no one.

Is everyone gone already? Ugh, that stupid boss still isnt here yet, did he want to amend my performances? Ah? Im so sorry, I thought there wasnt anyone here

At this moment, the lead singer walked in with furrowed brows, complaining. Her voice broke the silence so everyones eyes were on her.

She was the breaking point!

When the girl realised her mistake and was about to leave, the empress dowager stopped her!

Dont go, girl! Your singing is great, who taught you? The empress dowager was desperate for a conversation topic.

My boss taught me, empress dowager! answered the girl.

Your boss? Whos your boss? she asked. She was the only one who didnt know who, though she had her guesses.

The boss is Master Ye Lang, hes our boss, said the girl.

Everyone from Romantic Floor seemed to call him boss, they agreed that it was the best name for him!

So its the kid! the empress dowager smiled. What performances will there be? I can watch them if you want.

About that You cant said the girl awkwardly.

Why cant I watch it? The empress dowager was surprised. She was the empress dowager of the empire, watching anything was already an honour for the other person. Yet she was declined just like that.

Mother, youre the only one who cant watch said Long Anqi with an odd expression. The girl was begging with her eyes.

?? Why?

Because the performance was prepared for you! Theyre here to perform for your birthday, said Long Anqi.

She finally understood. It was for her, so there must be an element of surprise.

I see, then I am not a suitable candidate indeed! Hehe The empress dowager smiled. Girl, what is your name?

Liu Feiyan! said the girl. Yep, it was an important occasion so Liu Feiyan, their main card, had to be present.

Liu Feiyan? Ive heard of this name, youre the most famous girl at the teahouse. The empress dowager remembered someone mentioning this name at Ye City, she had a close relationship with Ye Lang.

Of course, the closeness she heard about in rumours were false, she later found out that they were just employer and employee. There was nothing odd about it.

The only thing odd was that they were very close!

Im not sure about that, empress dowager!

Youre beautiful, the kid has good taste, said the empress dowager with a smile. Although she had been very mild with Liu Feiyan, she was still honest despite her title.

Liu Feiyan had a talent in making other people at ease.

Yeah, my boss has good taste but hes a liar! We all came, yet hes off galavanting somewhere! Hmmph! huffed Liu Feiyan. Her adorable outburst showed that she had already forgotten where she was and who these people were. She was just complaining about Ye Lang.

Hehe, its good to be young. All these young ones dont play by any rules, said Long Anqi smilingly, as if to remind Liu Feiyan that these people were different, also to remind the empress dowager not to dwell on small things with the young ones.

Hehe, Madam, I shall excuse myself first! And I have to reflect on my mistakes. Liu Feiyan stuck out her tongue and ran off.

Although she was just a commoner, she treated everyone the same.

Perhaps also because of Ye Langs influence

This Liu Feiyan isnt bad at all Its a pity her background is lacking or I would consider her for the prince, said the empress dowager, as if it was a pity.

Although she considered herself open-minded, she still hesitated with such a large gap in background. She might like the girl but some things were just impossible.

As long as they are happy, I wouldnt mind what background they were from. Ye Lang wouldnt care either, he never did, said Long Anqi flatly, though she sighed in her heart. The empress dowager was THE empress dowager after all, she was different from anyone else.
