Walking from the Western Palace towards the palace gate, not far along the path, Liu Shimei indeed saw Huangfu He!
With her mind preoccupied, Liu Shimei hadn't noticed Huangfu He approaching from the other side until Mo'er reminded her, "Eldest Young Miss, it's the Crown Prince!"
She looked up in surprise and saw the tall and elegant man walking towards her from the flower path.
The Crown Prince's attire was luxurious, and Huangfu He himself exuded a gentle and refined aura. Regardless of his status, this man was undeniably pleasing to the eye.
"Greetings, Your Highness," Liu Shimei curtsied.
She couldn't help but think: Is the Crown Prince doing this intentionally?
How could the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace be walking in the direction of the Western Palace?
Just as Liu Shimei silently questioned this, Huangfu He provided her with a reasonable explanation. "No need for formalities."
