Bai Wutong was a woman of her word. Since she had promised not to make things difficult for Imperial Concubine Su, she maintained a pleasant and welcoming demeanor from start to finish. There was not a trace of dissatisfaction in her expression, and her words and actions remained beyond reproach.
After the routine morning greetings concluded, she finished her tea with her usual elegance and gave a gentle wave. "You may all return now and come back tomorrow. Imperial Concubine Su, if the Emperor summons you for the night again and you feel exhausted, just send someone to let me know. There is no need to force yourself to come for the morning greetings."
Imperial Concubine Su rose quickly and curtsied with dignified grace. "Empress, it is my duty to offer my respects. As long as I am not kept up too late, I will certainly arrive on time."
