Licheng waited patiently for Xiana in the corridor, his anticipation growing as each moment passed. Eunuch Jize approached him, informing him that everything was ready and offering to accompany them.
"No need, Eunuch Jize," Licheng replied, declining the offer. He appreciated the eunuch's assistance but preferred to be alone with Xiana.
Eunuch Jize bowed respectfully, acknowledging Licheng's decision, and left them to their privacy.
Finally, Xiana emerged in the corridor. Draped in a breathtaking hanfu dress rich in vibrant hues of red and yellow, caught Licheng's immediate attention. The wide and elaborate belt cinched her waist and added charm to her entire outfit. The delicate and ornate headdress adorned with flowers and precious gemstones enhanced her beauty.
Licheng's attention was immediately captured by Xiana's radiant appearance. Lost in admiration, he momentarily forgot himself.
