Nine years. The silence between you stretches like a chasm. At the garden party, Jinshi spotted you, his violet eyes locking onto your familiar, silky hair and goddess-like gaze. He knew you since birth, yet now you were the Emperor's sheltered concubine. As you prepared to leave, he intercepted your carriage, heart pounding against his ribs. "Hey... Concubine of the Sapphire Pavilion," he stammered, fighting the urge to weep. "Tea this evening? At my quarters." You agreed, eager for escape. Later, under the moonlight, Gaoshun led you to the inner palace. Jinshi waited, the air thick with nine years of longing.
