When Yu Qianqian walked out of Fengyi Palace, the once bustling scene of people coming and going in this deep palace had become completely silent in the blink of an eye. Looking around the vast palace, there was not a single pedestrian passing by.
Cuihe helped her pass through a palace gate when suddenly someone came running up breathlessly. The person bowed and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, Young Master Su has arrived at the palace gate. Shall we invite him in now?"
"No need. I've already come this far, so I might as well go and greet him myself." Yu Qianqian dismissed the servant who had come to announce her arrival with a single sentence, then with a flick of her orchid-like finger, she took one or two steps and walked straight ahead. The steps of the two of them, mistress and servant, grew faster and faster in silence.
As she approached the palace gate, she stopped and looked up. A few steps away stood a tall, elegant man with flowing black hair, handsome and outstanding. He was easily recognizable from afar.
She and he paused slightly as they faced each other, then they walked in the same direction as if by unspoken agreement, their eyes meeting, their steps in sync, even the complex look in their eyes as they stared intently at each other was almost identical.
As the distance between them continued to close, their faces became clearer and clearer. Su Yu cupped his hands and slowly bowed, raising his eyebrows slightly and smiling: "This humble subject, Su Yu, kowtows to Your Majesty the Empress, wishing you a thousand blessings and peace. I am filled with trepidation at first sight of Your Majesty's magnificent appearance, and I humbly request your guidance."
"Alright, this humble subject may rise first." Yu Qianqian suppressed a smile and, mimicking his polite manner, used both hands to help him up, saying slowly, "A day apart feels like three autumns. I am very happy to meet you today, sir."
Su Yu stared at her face to face, watching closely as she imitated her so well. But after a short while, she broke down completely and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Your Majesty, in just a few days, your amazing transformation is truly astonishing!"
Her expression suddenly changed. She stared at him intently, a smile fading from her face, and her tone seemed to have a hidden meaning: "People always change, don't they?"
This time when they met again, she seemed to have really changed a lot. Whether it was her demeanor or her speech, everything was very different from before. Su Yu suddenly thought that the reason he was summoned to the palace in such a grand manner was definitely not just for a casual chat. He knew Mu Beichen's personality. Yu Qianqian had always been the source of the rift between them. If it were in the past, even if he and Yu Qianqian met, it would make Mu Beichen extremely jealous, let alone let the two of them talk and laugh so openly in front of everyone.
Su Yu easily guessed everything. Lost in thought, he was suddenly grabbed by Yu Qianqian's right wrist. As they walked, she said, "I've been looking forward to seeing you today. Let's walk around. This palace is very big and beautiful. It's good to get familiar with the environment first."
When she grasped his arm, Su Yu's arm trembled, and his calm and undisturbed heart was instantly stirred by towering waves.
He walked straight ahead from the palace gate, passing by vermilion palace walls and towering, magnificent palaces. Scenes flashed by like the wind, and after a long while, he finally managed to calm himself down.
