Chapter 408 - 387: First Update
"The Princess has arrived?" As soon as Qi Yu entered the courtyard, he felt an unusual aura permeating the Crown Prince’s Mansion; an indescribably pleasant fragrance wafted through the air. The cleaning was overseen by Steward Hu himself, and the young men were nimble in their work, leaving the path from the courtyard gate to the study along the river meticulously spotless.
Qi Yu entered the study and remained silent, not daring to make a sound, for fear of startling the person inside. However, there was no one in the study.
Qi Yu stood there in astonishment, feeling a sense of loss, yet somewhat incredulous. The courtyard was clearly different from any ordinary day, and the scent of pastries from the kitchen had already reached his nose.
"What are you dawdling for, is His Highness back yet?" asked Steward Hu as he entered and saw Qi Yu standing there dumbfounded.
"Not yet, His Highness sent me back to fetch a letter," Qi Yu responded, feeling somewhat dejected. Was it because the Princess had not visited in a long time? Yet, Qi Yu felt...
"Oh, oh, quickly then—" Steward Hu had initially wanted Qi Yu’s assistance with something. "Right, find a chance to inform His Highness that the Princess has arrived."
Qi Yu’s eyes brightened. She really came! He knew his feeling wasn’t wrong.
"The Princess really came? But why can’t I see her?" Qi Yu looked around the study but couldn’t see anyone.
"Get moving—" Steward Hu kicked towards Qi Yu, who expertly dodged while laughing foolishly and grabbed what he needed before leaving.
