Qu Qing Ju turned her head and saw a male and female walking together. The man looked about the same age as He Heng. His appearance was very fine, fine to the point that the word beautiful could be used to describe him. But between his brows, there exuded the arrogance that belonged to those of high position and made it difficult for others to feel close. The female beside him was only about sixteen or seventeen, just a girl. She wasn’t very beautiful, but her movements exuded a sense of dignity that told the observer this girl came from a noble family with a good upbringing.
The four people stood three steps apart. Qu Qing Ju saw the man opposite give a fake smile and say: “Huang di[1] greets er huang xiong, er huang sao[2].” The girl beside him followed with a bow.
Taking back her gaze, Qu Qing Ju slightly lowered her head. So this was the rumored Rui Wang, He Yuan, the most favored by the Emperor. This pair of brothers did seem more polite than affectionate.
