Long Time No See

Like a pearl falling onto a jade plate, the lady's clear voice echoed throughout the hall.

It became even quieter in the hall, for Shangguan Yue was the exact person the rulers of the Dongning Dynasty and the Xiyan Dynasty were talking about just moments ago. But of course, they couldn't say this to her face as she was ultimately also a ruler of a dynasty. Even if the Tianling Dynasty was in no way comparable to the other dynasties, they were considered equals in terms of status and positions.

The people in the hall suddenly felt that they were caught in the act of bad-mouthing someone behind their back.

After a brief silence, Ning Yuan took the lead to say, "It was just a trivial matter. No need to pay heed to it. The Beiming Dynasty's Emperor and Crown Prince haven't arrived yet. Please feel free to make yourself at home, Empress Yuan Xi."
