Ye Zao and the others didn't have to wait long; soon they saw the shadow of a small boat approaching.
The men were still at Jiuzhou Qingyan, while the women brought the Princess and the children over.
The older Imperial Nephews were all with their Fathers.
Hongxin was still following the Fourth Master.
Ye Zao took a step forward, but the women were faster than her.
They quickly rushed to pay their respects.
"Please, everyone, stand up. The Empress Dowager is waiting. Please, everyone, go ahead," Ye Zao said with a smile, waving her hand.
Everyone quickly thanked her and then followed her inside.
On this side, Ye Zao took the women to meet the Empress Dowager, while on the other side, the Fourth Master met the charming Count Ryan for the first time.
As they entered, before the Fourth Master could speak, a golden-bearded foreigner opened his arms wide like a bear and came over: "Oh! My esteemed His Majesty the Emperor!"
