"I was just thinking about coming out to see the stars after dinner. Your timing is perfect, Emperor. You can look at them with me." Song Yunzhao rested her head on the Emperor's shoulder, her toes lightly kicking at the hem of her skirt, as restless as a playful child.
Feng Yi's heart seemed to lighten along with Song Yunzhao's playful feet, and a smile slowly spread across his face.
Song Yunzhao said no more, quietly keeping the Emperor company as they watched the stars. 'The Emperor is clearly in a bad mood, so I'd better be on my best behavior,' she thought. 'He's unpredictable and holds grudges. I can't afford to get dragged into his troubles. My only job is to coax him into a better mood.'
Xiangxue led the Palace Attendants away, leaving only the two of them in the courtyard.
