Chapter 97

Yang Xiumei smiled broadly once the empress had stated her promise.

With an innocent smile, Yang Xiumei confidently said, "Your majesty, I want to walk your path. Please lead me," 

The empress didn't expect Yang Xiumei's ambitions to be this high but she didn't ridicule her nor did she scold her that she didn't know her place.

"You want to be like me? Tell me why you want to do that," the empress was amused and she decided to stay longer to listen to whatever Yang Xiumei was about to say.

Yang Xiumei knew that the empress was testing her so she didn't hide anything, "Your majesty, I admire you so much! Your influence is remarkable in the entire palace grounds and you have many supporters. I want to stand by his highness Li Jun's side as his other half! I want to be his crown princess-"

"And you want to be the next empress?" the empress finished Yang Xiumei's words by herself.
