Xiao'er curtsied to Shangguan Wanru, then sneakily took a glance at her. She looked slenderer than their last meeting, with faint shadows under her eyes, indicating that she had also been having trouble eating and sleeping lately.
When had the once lively and energetic her started sitting quietly, sewing clothes?
Indeed, life could drastically alter a person's character.
Shangguan Wanru looked up and saw her, then waved at her. "Ziwan, your needlework is good. You come and help make the Crown Prince's gown," she said.
Xiao'er, on hearing this, walked over.
Shangguan Wanru observed Xiao'er's posture as she moved and subtly furrowed her brows. Ziwan normally didn't possess such a poised and elegant gait.
Then she seemingly casually glanced at Xiao'er's hand: this was not Ziwan's hand!
Ziwan's fingers weren't so beautiful! Shangguan Wanru's heart raced. Who was this? Why was she impersonating Ziwan, and moreover, her appearance was impeccable!
