When Lu Ziyuan returned, Xie Wanqing and Erqing were embracing each other, crying.
They were telling each other the events that happened in the past five years.
After the old emperor ordered the Pei family to divorce, Erqing returned to the Xie family with Xie Wanqing's dowry.
This afternoon, as soon as she returned to the palace, the Xie family sent Erqing into the palace.
Thinking that their daughter had a long journey and it was getting late, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng decided to enter the palace to pay respects tomorrow.
At this moment, the master and servant both had red eyes, animatedly talking until he entered causing them to pause.
Erqing hurriedly stood up and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Lu Ziyuan graciously accepted, saying she could forego the formalities.
But obviously, being known for his authority and as a supreme ruler, even though Erqing had seen much alongside her master from a young age, she still felt restrained.
