Consort Yun scrutinized Honored Lady Xi with careful attention.
Her eyes were bright and clear, devoid of any impurity; her round face still retained a touch of baby fat.
Around her mouth were remnants of the snacks she had just eaten.
Her smile was so pure, so brilliant.
Yet, who knew how long this innocent smile could last.
Consort Yun slowly stood up, picked up a handkerchief, and gently wiped away the crumbs from Honored Lady Xi's cheeks.
"Look at you, your face is all messy!"
Her movements were gentle, as if she were the most tender elder sister doting on a younger sibling.
Embarrassment suddenly overcame Honored Lady Xi upon this gesture.
"I've made Elder Sister Yun laugh at me!"
Consort Yun just smiled and, with the hand still holding the silk handkerchief, took both of their hands.
"If you treat me as your sister, and I treat you as mine, why be so formal?"
