"Could it be that they've all come drawn by the aroma?" The Empress Dowager chuckled briefly, "Let them all come in."
Soon, a group of women came bustling in, led by Xiao Jin.
After performing the rituals, they took their seats.
Yang Ruxin naturally went over to pay respects to Xiao Jin and the others, as the four concubines were second-rank, higher than her third-rank position.
Leng Zhaoyi was of the same rank as her, but being the Emperor's woman, she still had to be properly acknowledged.
Xiao Jin graciously accepted the homage.
The Empress Dowager's face showed a hint of displeasure, after all, she hadn't asked Yang Ruxin to pay her respects, but this concubine accepted it so complacently?
In truth, Xiao Jin was actually wrongly blamed for this; she did not know that the Empress Dowager hadn't required Yang Ruxin's homage.
However, the matter was soon passed.
"Xinxin, quickly go on, the mourning family is hungry." Empress Dowager Jiang waved to Yang Ruxin.
