However, no matter how dissatisfied Huangfu Hao was, he could only agree.

Yi Feng Pavilion was in the outskirts, some distance away from the capital. Huangfu Hao set off at dawn. When he arrived at the outskirts, there was still a long mountain road. Fortunately, the road up the mountain was smooth enough for the carriage to pass. Otherwise, it would take much longer to arrive at the pavilion.

Huangfu Hao asked his guards to stay halfway up the mountain while he walked on alone because the invitation specially instructed him not to bring guards. The more guards there were, the more unnatural this "love at first sight" would be. Moreover, the crown prince would arrive early and had something to discuss with Huangfu Hao. It would be inconvenient if there were too many people.
