Ming Mei returned to her temporary guest room, and soon, someone knocked on the door: "Miss Ming, you're back. The Queen has requested to see you."
Ming Mei nodded: "Alright, let me change clothes first."
She was still wearing the dress from last night's banquet. However, the dress that reached her ankles yesterday now only came up to her knees.
Ming Mei changed into new clothes and glanced at the dress on the bed.
The pearls on the collar emitted a lustrous glow, looking beautiful.
Ming Mei opened the door: "Let's go."
.........
Ou Yinghan was watering the flowers when she saw Ming Mei and called her over. Her first question was: "Didn't you come back last night?"
Ming Mei nodded: "Yes..."
"Where did you go?"
Ming Mei stood beside her and thought for a moment: "Went to... the ends of the earth."
Ou Yinghan paused her work: "With the one you love?"
"Yes."
"So where is he now?"
Ming Mei shrugged: "Now, he's busy."
"Busy? Does that mean... you two are apart again?"
