Chapter 454: Why Hasn't the Empress Dowager Feng's Decree Come Down Yet?

After seeing Yun Miao off through the palace gates, Murong Jiu turned around and saw Jun Yuyan, dressed in plain bright yellow.

She smiled and walked towards him, "When did you arrive? Have you been waiting long?"

"Just got here."

Jun Yuyan reached out to take her hand and noticed it was a bit cold.

"Why didn't you bring a hand warmer?"

"The sun is so nice, what do I need a hand warmer for? I just stood in a shaded place for a while. Once I'm in the sun, my whole body will warm up."

The sun in spring was extremely gentle.

Jun Yuyan took her hand and walked into the sunlight. Since their ascension to the throne, both had been extremely busy—the funeral rites for the Former Emperor, the court politics, the placement of the palace women—there were endless matters big and small.

It was rare to have a moment like this, with the two holding hands in the quiet amidst the vermilion walls, bathing in the sunlight. Without speaking, it was a rare moment of leisure.
