After disembarking, the party stepped onto the shore. A magnificent carriage stood waiting there, adorned with exquisite patterns. Its shafts were carved with delicate designs, marking the lofty status of its owner. The carriage had clearly been sent specifically to fetch them, filling both Liu Lvyao and Xiaocui with eager anticipation.
Liu Lvyao and Xiaocui were brought to Prince Jing's private estate. The estate covered a vast area, boasting a tranquil environment shaded by lush trees and brimming with flourishing flowers and plants, as if it were a Utopia. The architectural style within the grounds was unique; pavilions and terraces were arranged in an orderly fashion, complete with flying eaves, bucket arches, and intricately painted beams, all showcasing imperial luxury and grandeur.
Young Master Huang had originally intended to join everyone for dinner, but an urgent matter arose that required his immediate attention back home. Though regretful, he offered his apologies to the group and promised another gathering another day.
