In the Imperial Palace, a festive atmosphere filled the air. This group of ambitious northerners had coveted this southern treasure for many years. Now that it was finally in their grasp, how could they not be excited?
The Queen and the various Consorts had arrived a month earlier and had settled into their respective quarters. Even the Palace Maids and Eunuchs were smiling widely; the southern architecture was far more exquisite and detailed than that of the north, with every little detail leaving people in awe! Others' possessions always seemed to be the best!
The sudden heavy snowfall did not dampen anyone's spirits.
However, one person felt extremely complicated emotions. Gazing at the familiar scenery, memories she wished to forget surged back in her mind like a tidal wave.
She could only repeatedly tell herself in her heart, "Yunxin, you are no longer that despised maid from before! He has given you a new life!"
With this thought, she felt much more at ease.
"The Emperor has returned!" Cheers rose higher and higher as everyone gathered at the palace gate to welcome Dayue, the greatest king in history.
Yunxin felt a surge of joy; he had finally come back!
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The Queen and all the Consorts led the Palace Maids and Eunuchs in kneeling at the Palace Gate. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles.
Tian Feiyao, clad in a dark dragon robe, sat majestically on his horse, looking down at them. "Get up!" His thin lips pressed together, his cold face showing no emotion whatsoever!
The Queen was the first to step forward. "Your Majesty, you must be tired. I and all my sisters have missed you dearly!" After saying this, she shyly lowered her head.
The other Consorts looked at her with jealousy; after all, she was the top one.
Tian Feiyao coldly regarded his legitimate wife, his eyes filled with disdain, even contempt... Until he noticed that the Queen seemed a bit frightened by his gaze, he then gave a cold smile and asked, "When will the Empress Dowager come to Yunyang?"
"I don't know!" The Queen took a few steps back, feeling hurt. Every time she showed her enthusiasm, it was doused by the Emperor's cold response. Perhaps it was simply because... there was an Empress Dowager standing between them!
Tian Feiyao said nothing more, dismounted from his horse, and strode directly toward the crimson palace gate.
As he passed by Yunxin, he paused.
Yunxin nervously clenched her palms. With each step he took closer, her heart raced faster. The faint scent of dragon incense on him made her feel even more dizzy.
Everyone had long since gotten used to it; it was well known that the Emperor treated Yunxin differently. She was the Emperor's personal maid, yet her treatment was almost on par with that of a Consort.
When the Emperor first brought her back to the palace, she faced considerable exclusion, and her status was repeatedly questioned. It wasn't until later that the Emperor never conferred any title upon her that she avoided becoming a target of criticism!
"Yunxin, your master... has returned!"
