The dining room fell into an awkward silence. However, the tension eased when the guard standing outside announced Zheng Xiang's arrival and opened the door for him.
Zheng Xiang entered, looking around at everyone gathered in the dining room with a hint of puzzlement. He greeted His Majesty and Yang Ning with indifference and glanced at his brother, who had his head lowered and was busy selecting the best meat pieces to put in Yang Ning's bowl.
As Zheng Xiang debated whether to greet his brother or not, in case Zheng Liang ignored him, Zheng Liang raised his head and said, "You're here. Sit down and eat," in his usual cold tone, though his actions were not as cold as before.
He didn't ignore him!
