Emperor Yongzheng and the Thirteenth Prince stood under the corridor. When they saw her arrive, a hint of amazement flashed in their eyes.
The girl opposite was wearing a young man's long robe, with her hair in a ponytail. She had red lips and white teeth, and her eyes were clear and bright, making her instantly likable. If she were a little taller, she would probably captivate the hearts of many young girls and young women.
