The sun had just passed its zenith, and the Duke An Mansion located in the west of Yujing City was in a flurry.
The servants were busy cleaning and tidying up, leaving everything spotless and neat, as if it were New Year's.
The cherished guest was visiting the mansion for the first time, and the Duke Mansion needed to present its best side.
Moreover, this guest was none other than the Princely Heir, of royal descent.
Everyone was ready, eagerly awaiting.
Duke An and Xiao Ruoyu sat in the front hall, sipping tea while waiting.
Xiao Ruoyu fidgeted, as if sitting on needles, unable to sit still.
Duke An was reading a book, appearing serene and composed.
"Father, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
"We must honor the dignity of the royal family; though he is your brother-in-law, he also represents the Emperor's face."
"... Yes." Xiao Ruoyu had nothing to say.
