Zhao Yi and Xuer met with Emperor Zhengde once again. A long time had passed since their last encounter, and they were overjoyed to see one another. The three of them dismissed all attendants and talked far into the night.
It was Xuer's first time leaving for such an extended period, and she had a great deal to tell her imperial brother. Meanwhile, Emperor Zhengde was eager to share the changes and achievements brought about by his reforms. Thus, the Imperial Study was filled entirely with the voices of the brother and sister.
As he listened quietly, Zhao Yi sighed inwardly. After all, the boundary between immortals and mortals was vast; such gatherings would inevitably become fewer and fewer as time went on. No matter how Zhao Country, governed by his sworn eldest brother, might transform in the future, apart from the bond of their sworn brotherhood, everything else was drifting further away from him, slowly fading with time.
