Hua Yan returned to the Eastern Palace with the Duchess of Jingguo, and the night was deep.
Hua Yan was not tired, feeling no sleepiness, so she pulled the Duchess of Jingguo into conversation. Since the Duchess had always been in the Capital City, she never missed the palace banquets during the festivals each year, often seeing Yun Chi. Hua Yan then asked her to share some stories from Yun Chi's childhood.
As the Duchess of Jingguo reminisced and spoke, there wasn't much she could say—after all, she only saw Yun Chi a few times a year. In her memories, the Crown Prince in his childhood carried himself with a distinguished and noble presence, standing out among his royal brothers. Compared to the previous emperor and the current one, he was seen as the indigo that surpasses the blue, and some court officials even said that if the Crown Prince were cultivated properly, he might be the second Taizu.
