Xie Ning alighted from the sedan chair, squinting her eyes slightly as she gazed at the plaque above the entrance. The Danxia Hall was situated atop a hill, and from the entrance, the entire garden spread out below.

Bai Hongqi attentively approached to assist her. Xie Ning courteously expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Bai Gonggong." Bai Hongqi bowed deeply and whispered, "You're too kind, Handsome Fairness Xie. His Majesty awaits you within."

Xie Ning ascended the steps, following Bai Hongqi into Danxia Hall. A spacious courtyard greeted them, with the Emperor standing in the center awaiting her arrival. As Xie Ning approached, the Emperor grasped her hand before she could complete her formal bow, "No need for formalities; let us take a stroll together."
