There is a sense of contrast between mature charm and pure innocence...
Tap tap tap—
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps rang out.
A Palace Servant with quick steps and a somewhat pale face came in, "Your... Your Highness..."
The Empress said displeasedly, "If you have something to say, speak slowly. What kind of behavior is this flustering about?"
The Palace Servant caught her breath and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, Consort Yu has arrived!"
The Empress was slightly startled, "Who did you say has come?"
The Palace Servant enunciated each word clearly, "Consort Yu from the Frozen Sky Palace has arrived! Her Royal Palanquin is now waiting outside of the Yangxin Palace, she says she wants to see Your Highness!"
?
The Empress’s brows knitted tightly.
Yu Youhan seldom leaves the Frozen Sky Palace, they’ve met so few times in these years, and yet now she suddenly comes to the Yangxin Palace with great fanfare...
Could it be for...
Glancing at the stunned Chen Mo, a flicker of unusual light passed through the Empress’s eyes.
"It seems I have underestimated the weight Chen Mo holds in Yu Youhan’s heart!"
"Since she has come, let her in," the Empress said indifferently. "I would like to see, within these deep palace walls, how this Concubine intends to behave."
"Yes."
The Palace Servant bowed and retreated.
Chen Mo swallowed hard with difficulty.
Why has the Empress come... He was restless, inexplicably feeling the nervousness of being caught in the act.
A moment later, a figure in a purple gown slowly walked into the inner hall.
A shiny purple Palace Gown cascaded from her slender waist, making her figure seem more statuesque and graceful. Her black hair was pulled high and secured with a Twisted Branch Gold Hairpin, her face bright as morning glow, lips holding Shattered Jade, her absolutely flawless beauty had not a hint of imperfection.
Her clear and green eyes were devoid of warmth, with her eyelids slightly drooped, as if she were looking down at the world from high above the clouds, unreachable.
"I have seen the Empress!"
Chen Mo hurriedly rose to salute.
Yu Youhan sat down opposite him, her tone indifferent, "No need for formalities."
Her composed demeanor made her appear as if she were the true master of the Yangxin Palace.
The Empress’s eyes narrowed, a light laugh escaped her, "Since entering the palace, Consort Yu has never greeted me in person. What brings you such interest today?"
Yu Youhan’s face remained expressionless as she calmly replied, "If I came to greet you every day, I fear the Empress wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly, would you?"
