Chapter 90: Spring Hunt (8)

The sky had turned dark a few hours ago, but the atmosphere around the camp was lively with the sounds of music and chattering. The Emperor had set up a night feast for the princes and other officials to relax and enjoy after the hunt. A bonfire was lightened up at the center of the field, and a few dancing girls danced around to entertained everyone present.

Princess Lingchen sat down beside her mother as she ate. She glanced at the seat next to her mother and frowned. The Emperor has not yet arrived. She started to wonder if everything was alright.

"Your father went with the general to visit Prince Lu Wei," the Empress whispered. She had been watching her daughter and knew that the princess was worried for the Emperor. "He will be here soon."
