Take It One Step at a Time

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan left the Imperial Capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year. At that time, the Imperial Capital was still covered in snow. Now that they had returned to the Imperial Capital, it was already autumn and refreshing. Golden osmanthus hung on the branches by the road, and a rich fragrance wafted far away.

Yu Niaoniao looked out of the carriage window and saw red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the shops on the street. She guessed that it should be a joyous occasion in the capital.

Xiao Juan invited Deng Yuchuan and Deng Luyun to stay in the Langjun Imperial Palace for the time being.

Deng Yuchuan politely declined.

"Our Deng family has a residence in the Imperial Capital. It's cleaned all year round and can be lived in at any time. We'll just stay there. When we're settled, we'll discuss entering the palace."
