Ye Xinyan inwardly complained about Duke An. As an old fox who had been lurking in the Imperial Court for decades, he couldn't even give a newcomer like her a hint. At this moment, even if he just cleared his throat or shifted his steps slightly, it would help her gauge the danger of the situation.
She didn't know what a normal response should be when the Emperor addressed her, so in her confusion, she could only try to show utmost respect.
She kowtowed again. Damn, this was so frustrating.
"Your Majesty, the small woman visited Prime Minister Han's residence the day before yesterday to pay respects to Miss Han of the Han Family," Ye Xinyan replied respectfully.
By indicating her visit as a sign of admiration for Miss Han, that should be acceptable, right? Ye Xinyan was a bit uncertain, but it was the only answer she could give.
