Upon entering the Empress' palace, Yang Chuxia noticed the Empress standing at the door with the palace maid Zhen'er. She was surprised in her heart, could it be that they were waiting for her? If so, it seemed her stance was far too low.
"This subject's wife pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress!"
"This subject's wife pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress!"
"This humble official pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress!"
"..."
"You may all rise!" The Empress warmly approached, pulling Yang Chuxia with one hand and Dongyang with the other. "You've been away from the Capital City for a year, and Dongyang has stayed long on the manor as well. In these deep palace chambers, I have no one to talk to."
Yang Chuxia laughed, "Her Majesty flatters me. Initially, I intended to return to the Capital early, but Yangyang, that naughty child, sneaked back to Liao City again. Thus, I had to chase him, hence the late return."
