"The Prime Minister's wife looks even younger and more beautiful than she does on television." Xia Zhilan's voice was melodious; when words of praise came out of her mouth, they didn't carry a hint of flattery.
Tong Yao smiled and said, "Compared to you, I'm far behind. The queen of Fang Yao Continent is renowned for her beauty."
Xia Zhilan sighed lightly, "I've grown old; that was all in the past. Prime Minister's wife, please!"
Tong Yao nodded slightly, and the two walked side by side towards Haotian Emperor and Long Che.
Long Che was notably taller than most people, but standing beside Haotian Emperor, he did not appear disadvantaged; the two stood evenly matched, shoulder to shoulder.
Though Long Che came from a military background, he had the demeanor of a scholarly general.
Haotian Emperor had a rougher appearance, and Tong Yao found herself particularly intrigued by his full beard.
