The beauty followed the Crown Prince back to the Capital City. It was a long journey. Cradling her little puppy, she gazed distractedly out the window, her eyes filling with the sight of bustling, splendid streets.
"How much longer?" she asked softly, lifting the sedan curtain and feeling the restless squirming of the little thing in her arms.

"Soon."
Shen Huoshui pouted but, for once, didn't cause any more trouble.
Upon arriving in the Capital City, the Crown Prince went to the palace to report on the matters in Yu Zhou City, while Shen Huoshui was settled into the Eastern Palace.
'The Eastern Palace is huge.'
Shen Huoshui thought distractedly, then summoned a palace maid serving in the Eastern Palace and asked,
"Where does the Crown Prince live?"
Aunt Jin Su replied, "His Highness lives in Chengming Hall…"
