Xiao Junci smoothed his sleeve, the cloud pattern on the dark sleeve woven with gold thread glistening under the sunset's afterglow, accentuating his high forehead and aquiline nose, adding to his distinguished air.
"Xiao Junci of Beiqi, by the command of our Emperor, has come to visit Princess Yong'an."
His voice was clear and resounded through the skies, the word "visit" echoing into the Princess' Mansion.

Inside, Dongfang Lianhua was teaching Feng Xiaoli how to read when Hei Dian, covered in wolf fur, bristled and let out a soft growl, standing up.
"Princess, there is a man outside claiming to be the Regent King from Beiqi, here for a visit. He has brought a large group of people with him. The mansion is surrounded by people."
Chun Liu entered hurriedly, her face full of shock.
