The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before finally parting ways at the inner gate.
The emperor once thought that the paintings in the Border Town Women's Portraits were beautified, after all, when he was selecting concubines, many ministers had bribed painters to paint their daughters more beautifully.
We met today.
The Prince of Zhenbei truly lived up to his reputation, and was even more handsome than in the portrait. The real person standing in front of me was even more lifelike.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" Huo Xiaolong led the others in bowing.

“I am Tingche’s great-uncle. We are all family. Don’t worry, if anyone dares to interfere in your household affairs again, your grandfather will be the first to punish them.”
