Through the mirror's reflection, the blond youth saw an incomparably beautiful child. At that very moment, the child was also watching him through the mirror.
And so, with the mirror as their medium, their gazes met...
For roughly three breaths.
The blond youth waved to the palace maids. "Leave us for now."
"Yes."
As the palace maids bowed and left in small, quick steps, they could not help glancing at Su Bei several more times. They all secretly wondered, "Who is this youth? His Highness is still willing to receive him during the most critical investiture ceremony of the eldest prince's life."
"But this child is so beautiful!"
"I love him, I love him!"
This blond youth was none other than His Highness Xue Qinghe, who was about to be invested by Xue Ye as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Xue Qinghe looked back. That hurried glimpse had lingered in her mind over the past few days, and now that she saw him in person, a brilliant smile bloomed across her face.
"You truly are exceedingly beautiful, little brother."
That was the first thing Xue Qinghe said upon greeting Su Bei.
The Goddess System's voice rang out in Su Bei's mind:
