In the morning, Sheng Li was helped by the maidservants in getting ready. The sash was worn by him around the waist. The Crown was placed over his head. A maidservant came there, panting. Seeing her, Xing-Fu asked why she was panting.
"Your highness, the Princess has arrived," the maidservant replied. Immediately, Sheng Li turned and told the maidservants to leave the chamber. "Xing-Fu, tell the Crown Princess to meet me outside the greeting hall for elders," ordered Sheng Li and left from there.
Sheng Li was excited to meet his elder sister. And why wouldn't he be? He was meeting Princess Qi Jing after six years. He hastened his steps towards the chamber of Princess Qi Jing. As he ascended the stairs, the soldiers deployed there bowed their heads.
Sheng Li soon reached outside the chamber of Qi Jing. "Inform the Princess about my visit," Sheng Li commanded the maidservant who was standing outside the door. She bowed her head and walked in. In a minute, the maidservant came outside informing the Crown Prince that he should go in.
Sheng Li stepped inside the chamber, recalling his childhood and teenage days when he used to come here frequently. He saw his sister was standing with a back towards him. "Sister Jing," Sheng Li softly called the name. Qi Jing, who was putting something on the table, turned back to look at Sheng Li.
A wide smile formed on the lips of Qi Jing. She was wearing a white-colored Hanfu dress with silver accessories worn in her hair. Qi Ling stepped towards Sheng Li. "You have grown into a handsome man, brother Sheng Li," Qi Jing proclaimed and placed her hand on Sheng Li's cheek.
"You used to be shorter than me, but now you have turned so tall. Sister is happy to see brother Sheng. Time passes so quickly." Qi Jing caressed Sheng Li's cheek and then put it down.
"You have turned more beautiful, sister Jing. I missed you so much," Sheng Li stated and smiled.
"Forgive your elder sister for coming so late. I thought to spend more time in the valley of Kun Lun Shan after you left for the military campaign with our father. But when I got the message of your return to the capital, I decided to return," Qi Jing asserted. She then told the Crown Prince to take the seat.
Sheng Li nodded. But before he could sit, he pulled out a chair for Qi Jing and told her to sit first. Qi Jing thanked the Crown Prince. Sheng Li then sat on the other chair, facing his sister.
"I heard that the Crown Prince is married to a beautiful and smart woman of Juyan City. I also heard that you were poisoned and the Crown Princess saved your life." Sheng Li saw the frowns on the forehead of his elder sister.
"People say that the Crown Princess is beautiful, but I did not find her beautiful. The most beautiful woman for me is my sister and no one can beat her in beauty," Sheng Li remarked.
Qi Jing smiled after getting such a remark from the Crown Prince.
"Sister, do not title me as 'Crown Prince.' Call me Sheng Li because you are my elder and I love it when you call me by my name," Sheng Li proclaimed.
"But you are now the Crown Prince, so I must use the title," Qi Jing opined.
"No. For you, I am only Sheng Li. Just call me by my name," Sheng Li repeated his words. Qi Jing nodded to Sheng Li's request.
"Do you not have to leave for the morning greeting to his and her majesty?" Qi Jing queried Sheng Li.
"I was going there only, but then I got the news of your arrival, sister Jing. I thought to meet you first," Sheng Li replied.

"I am still recalling that 16 years old boy," Qi Jing softly said, and gave a tiny smile. "Seeing you like this is indeed prideful for me. Oh, I have brought a present for you," Qi Jing stated and almost got up from the chair when Sheng Li stopped her.
"You can give me the present later. I have so much to talk with you, sister," Sheng Li asserted.
"Even though I have many things to tell my younger brother, I will converse with him in the presence of the Crown Princess as well. Since it is morning hours, the brother shall go to greet his and her majesty. We can have breakfast together," Qi Jing suggested to Sheng Li, which he liked and agreed on.
Sheng Li then stood up. "I shall take my leave, sister. I will see you at the breakfast table," Sheng Li stated.
"Bring the Crown Princess as well," Qi Jing told Sheng Li who nodded and left the chamber.

Outside the Greeting Hall, Ying Lili was waiting for Sheng Li to come. Jian Guozhi came there with his wife, Zhilao Mi and Princess Consort, Xue Yu-Yan.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess," Jian Guozhi said as he bowed his head in front of Ying Lili who also greeted him. She then wished morning to Zhilao Mi and Xue Yu-Yan as well.
"May I ask why the Crown Princess is standing here?" Zhilao Mi asked.
"I am waiting for the Crown Prince," answered Ying Lili, giving a tiny smile to Zhilao Mi.
"This is the first time I am seeing the Crown Princess waiting for the Crown Prince so patiently," Xue Yu-Yan remarked. Ying Lili was baffled to know about that.
"What do you mean, Princess Consort Xue?" Zhilao Mi asked in her soft voice.
"I meant that the Crown Princess usually defies the orders of the Crown Prince but today it is different," Xue Yu-Yan replied and looked at Ying Lili.
"Princess Consort, you have still got the guts to talk like this with my Crown Princess," Sheng Li voiced when everyone turned to look at him. "Princess Consort, you will start showing respect towards my Crown Princess from today onwards. This is the third time you insulted the Nation's Crown Princess and I will not forgive you this time," Sheng Li proclaimed in a threatening tone.
