Noble Consort Yang seemed to have noticed Chen Yuan's scrutiny as well, her gaze slightly sinking into a somber mood. Recalling the previous disrespected confrontation by him, she still felt quite displeased.
The two exchanged a glance, Chen Yuan cracked a smile, and quickly shifted his gaze to others nearby, including a few women dressed in court attire beside Jingtai.
Among them, the foremost one was a dignified woman clad in a bright yellow robe; although she was not as beautiful as Noble Consort Yang, she had an air that was rather comforting.
A faint smile always adorned her face.
As for her identity, it naturally became apparent.
She was none other than the mother of the Second Prince Sima You, the reigning Empress!
Besides her was the mother of the Eldest Prince, also a noble consort. She kept a considerable distance from Noble Consort Yang, seemingly holding some grudge, and sat silently beside Jingtai.
