章 369: Reality Calls

By the time Lei Xing resurfaced again, a few hours had passed. Xiao Ting looked up from her embroidery to see Lei Xing, fully dressed, coming towards the pavilion with the Emperor in tow. Lei Xing seemed to be pouting, while the Emperor was seemingly coaxing her saying some words with a doting smile on his face.

Xiao Ting blinkingly stared at them as they came closer, Xiao Ruo even had to remind her to stand up to greet. Xiao Ting quickly stopped staring and shot to her feet, "G-greetings to the Emperor...jiejie..." She hesitantly added, keeping her head lowered, not quite sure if the Emperor would be alright with her not greeting Lei Xing.
