The emperor sat at the top, with the empress on his left, and the eldest princess sat at the lower right. Ning Yuxi thought to herself: What a picture of a loving father and a filial daughter.
The eldest princess was dressed very gorgeously today, with a bright crimson dress and a gorgeous ruby headdress. She vaguely seemed to have returned to the time when the Liu family had not yet fallen, when she was still the daughter of the noble concubine and the emperor's eldest princess.
