Chapter 439: 12.47

"HER MAJESTY, EMPRESS DOWAGER AIXI, HAS ARRIVED!" 

Everyone darted their eyes at the woman in her late forty who walked to join the banquet. She wore a black and blue silk robe instead of something more bright and colorful, signifying that she didn't intend to celebrate her new son-in-law's imperial celebration.

Everyone, including Emperor Xianliang and Bai Yunyu, got up and bowed down to Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Aixi walked to her designated seat and sat silently. 

Emperor Xianliang was the first to open his mouth after his mother came, "Mother Empress, do you want any food from the banquet? Your son will ask the servant to bring it for you."

"No need, I'm not in the mood to eat anything, especially during this specific banquet," Empress Dowager glanced at Bai Yunyu and scoffed, mocking his presence.
