Emperor Liang was extremely fond of his grandson, Lu Qi; after Lu Yuan was conferred as the Guardian Qilin, to prevent the court officials from believing Lu Qi was being neglected, the Emperor specially allowed three days off court for his grand wedding.
The officials were pleased to enjoy a few leisurely days.
Only Gongsun Yanming entered the palace early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, though early, there was someone earlier than him.
As he reached the Imperial Garden, he heard the laughter of children, and saw Treasure Piggy and Nie'er playing on the grass.
The two little ones, innocent in their friendship, played joyously.
Emperor Liang's eyes were full of joy.
Consort Jiang was there as well.
However, she was not there to seek attention from Emperor Liang, but happened to encounter him.
Consort Jiang moved aside.
If she had known he was coming, she wouldn't have come.
"Your Majesty, Princess Consort Hui."
Gongsun Yanming stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting.
