Cangyue Xinyin's gentle remark startled the scholars present. Though they didn't recognize the woman, they could guess her identity. Anyone who could sit with the National Teacher must be the Princess Xinyin, who had invited the National Teacher back in the day.

The Emperor's own sister, her status was self-evident, and they hastily bowed again in fear.

"We were unaware of the Princess's presence and beg for her forgiveness."

A little mischief, harmless enough.
