The Sun official and the others knelt together, Mu Mingtang looked around and bowed down without saying a word.
Xie Xuanchen walked in, and the people on both sides hurriedly moved a seat for him and placed a cushion on the seat. The people on the ground couldn’t get up without Xie Xuanchen’s words. The Sun official felt that someone was walking around in front of her, but she had to stick to the ground, and she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
She was the fourth-class official for the Empress Dowager. Whoever saw her in the palace would respectfully address her as “Mama Sun”, even when the favored concubines sees her, they’ll also be polite to her. When did The Sun official ever suffer such insults?
But this person in front of her was Prince Qiyang, no matter how unhappy she was about the situation, all she could do was only bear with it and wait for Prince Qiyang to speak.
After Xie Xuanchen sat down, he said slowly, “Get up.”
The Sun official breathed out a sigh of relief, at least he didn’t let her stay there for too long, after all, she was under the Empress Dowager, and Prince Qiyang knew what was appropriate no matter how mad he was.
