The rain in Shengjing came on swiftly.
Raindrops pelted the leaves of the osmanthus tree outside the window, scattering leaves all over the ground, and the eaves hung with a curtain of dense, unending rain, blurring the world into a vast expanse of white.
Inside Prince Wen's Mansion, Princess Consort Pei Yunshu stood at the doorway, hurriedly rising to welcome the person from outside.
The young man, dressed in a vermillion brocade robe wetted by the rain, entered from the courtyard. Amidst the wild wind and torrential downpour, his attire was impeccable, and he showed not the slightest discomfiture.
Pei Yunshu pulled her younger brother into the room, while chiding, "You come suddenly without a word. Fangzi scared me when she told me. With such heavy rain outside, why didn't you bring an umbrella..."
Pei Yunmeng stopped her mid-sentence with a smile, "I was passing by on my errands and took the opportunity to come and see you."
Took the opportunity?
