In the royal garden, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Rare and exotic blossoms vied for attention, painting a scene of unparalleled beauty. A narrow path led straight to the pavilion nestled deep within. Inside the pavilion, Empress Zishuang had been waiting for quite some time. She was dressed in an exquisite purple gown, her phoenix crown glimmering atop her head. She looked as though she had descended from the heavens, her beauty both ethereal and imposing, exuding an air of majesty and nobility.
"Gu Sheng, you've arrived." Empress Zishuang spoke softly. Her voice was like a heavenly melody, soothing yet enchanting. A flicker of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
Gu Sheng gazed at the empress before him, a torrent of emotions swirling in his heart. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he smiled and said, "When Her Majesty summons me, how could I not come?"
