Xie Lin had just been chatting with the oldest princess, Sheng An, when he heard that Lady Su Qi had arrived. 'Zhou Gu is such a fool,' Xie Lin thought to himself. 'I set up an opportunity for him, and he couldn't even keep her here for a while.'

Quickly, Princess Sheng An ordered her servants, "Let her in."

Su Rong was brought into the room, showed respect to Princess Sheng An, and used the title she had changed to earlier in the day, "Great Aunt, greetings. I came to question Wang Su, and I thought it would be nice to visit you too."

Princess Sheng An took her hand. "You seem to have lost weight from all your hard work," she complained. "What was His Majesty thinking? Why did he let you bear this burden? Now that Rui'an King is sick, you need to take care of yourself in this cold, snowy weather. Why are you not wearing a bit more?"
