Beigong Ying and Yun Li entered the main hall of Fengxi Palace. As soon as they stepped inside, they saw the young ladies from various noble families seated on either side gazing intently at Beigong Ying, each of them striving to strike her most graceful pose in the hope that Beigong Ying might cast a glance her way. Unfortunately, those young ladies were essentially batting their eyelashes at a blind man, as not an ounce of Beigong Ying's attention fell upon the maidens lining the sides.
Several ladies also noticed Yun Li the moment she entered. Struck by her ethereal, immortal-like robes and her striking, handsome bearing, they found themselves unable to look away for a moment. They wished to inquire about her identity, yet felt too embarrassed to do so. Noticing the few maidens staring at Yun Li, a flash of jealousy crossed Beigong Ying's eyes. It was one thing for her to attract men, but she did not even spare women.
Upon entering, Yun Li immediately observed the Empress's condition. Seeing that the Empress appeared a dozen years younger, the corners of Yun Li's mouth curved upward slightly. It seemed the effect was indeed quite remarkable.
