The Empress spoke politely, yet Feng Bailing frowned slightly.
Emperor Yongye's condition had stabilized, and without informing her and Dugu Wu, the Empress had brought the two children into the palace. This move was far from ordinary.
"Then I'll have to trouble the Empress."
Feng Bailing said respectfully.
"Mr. Li, take Princess Consort Wu to see the children. This is my reward for you, I am very fond of children. Later, whenever you're free, come and sit with me in my palace."
As the Empress spoke, she removed a bracelet from her wrist and placed it onto Feng Bailing's hand.
The Empress was no longer young, and although she did not possess Noble Princess Consort Xiao's beauty or Princess Consort Mu's youthfulness, she had her own regal and elegant charm.
Whenever Feng Bailing had seen her before, she was always polite, but not particularly close.
Today, her proactive friendliness instead made Feng Bailing feel somewhat uneasy.
