"The Commandery Princess truly exemplifies the women of Dawei, skilled in both letters and arms, and even capable of leading troops into battle. Currently, the women of the Capital City are more enthusiastic when they see you than when they see His Majesty," said the Empress Dowager, gently sipping her tea.
A hint of coldness flashed in Yan Wanqing's eyes.
She dared not accept such lofty praise.
"It is but a momentary novelty for the young ladies. Soon, this fervor will pass. How could Anping compare to His Majesty? The Empress Dowager has not been in the public eye for a long time. Her nature is truly carefree and naive. Some words should not be recklessly spoken."
After all, she was an empress dowager left over from the previous dynasty, surviving to this day by relying on her knowledge of Imperial Family secrets.
If the Emperor himself does not show her respect, what makes her think she can stand above me, Yan Wanqing, and make mischief?
