“Ke ke (cough)……” Xiao JingRan had a smile on the corners of his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and stayed silent while watching Jing Yue sighing sorrowfully.

“You say, what is this tea party held for? Why does it have to be so complicated just to drink tea? I can practically foresee how burning hot the occasion will be later.” Jing Yue leaned against the palanquin’s wall, frowning and mumbling to herself.

“What do you mean?” Xiao JingRan raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Ei?” Jing Yue blinked her eyes. She had just wanted to explain when she suddenly heard noises from outside the palanquin. Immediately, she excitedly opened the palanquin’s curtain to look and sure enough, she saw Yun momo had already come bringing everyone along. There was surprise and joy in Jing Yue’s eyes.

“I’ll go first. I’ll tell you more about it next time if I have the chance.” Jing Yue rushed without any halt and went down from the palanquin. She turned around, smiling at Xiao JingRan, and said, “Thanks.”

Xiao JingRan watched Jing Yue’s figure in astonishment as she was cheerfully running away. A thread of strange emotion flashed in his eyes. He pursed his lips and finally, he raised his voice to let the guards carry the palanquin away. There was a thread of smile in his eyes when he looked at the couch which Jing Yue had messed.

Perhaps, even Xiao JingRan himself wasn’t aware of this smile.

Jing Yue followed Yun momo and the group of people to enter the Joyous Spring Court together. This court was filled with colorful spring plants that were particularly pleasing to the eyes. These kinds of rare and unique plants, Jing Yue had never seen in her two lifetimes.

After walking through a short path, they could already see Fu RuoQing sitting upright high above with a gorgeous imperial dress covering her whole body. As an Imperial Consort, she was extremely favored by the Emperor, however, until to this day she hadn’t been conferred as the Empress yet. Meanwhile, the Empress’s body was weak and she doesn’t have a child yet, however, the Emperor kept delaying the disposal of her Empress t.i.tle.
