Acquaintance

As all four of them rose to bid farewells, there was a knock on the door.

Song Minfu raised his eyebrow as he put on the ring while Song Lingfei put on her necklace and put down the veil. He was surprised since the guards at the door were instructed not to let anyone disturb them.

"What is it?"

Chu Ren went to the door and cracked it open to ask, and hearing the answer from the other side, slid the door back to shut it.

"His Majesty the Emperor has asked for your presence in the throne room, the Palace insists that your guests accompany you"

Chu Ren's face was slightly strained, and Song Minfu's face became grim as well.

"Father..."

"If your grandfather wishes to see me there is no reason to decline, would you agree to accompany me to the throne room?"

Song Lingfei worriedly asked but the Crown Prince shook his head, and turned to Wu Long and Wu Mengqi. 

"Sure, looks like the trouble caught up faster than we both expected"
