"No rush," the Emperor said calmly, pinching her blushing face with a gentle laugh. He loved this look of hers, making Lian Hua's face turn even redder.
Just then, the jubilant voice of Zhang Qing, who had been arranged in advance, came from outside: "Your Majesty, Old Master Lian, Madam Lian, and others have arrived outside the palace gates."
The Emperor immediately said, "Announce them."
"Yes." Zhang Qing responded, and then his footsteps quickly faded outside.
Lian Hua perked up, stood up involuntarily, and looked directly at the Emperor, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.
The Emperor looked at her gently, reached out to hold her: "Come, let's go meet your parents and them."
Lian Hua nodded heavily, and said excitedly: "Yes, let's go meet my parents, brother, Clan Uncle and Clan Aunt, and my teacher!"
