Feifei offered a bow to Jia Li, a warm smile gracing her lips. "It's truly delightful to see the Crown Princess after such a prolonged absence," Feifei expressed.
"I share the sentiment; it's been two years. Please, take a seat," Jia Li welcomed her, gesturing towards a chair positioned around the exquisitely adorned table.
"Enjoy your tea," Jia Li offered.
"Thank you for the tea, Your Royal Highness," Feifei responded graciously, returning the smile.
After sipping the tea, Jia Li inquired about Feifei's happiness in her current life. Reflecting on the moment two years prior when Feifei had approached her to seek freedom from the bonds of slavery within the palace, Jia Li felt a deep sense of incomprehension toward the concept of slavery. The evil roots of such societal injustices made their eradication a daunting challenge for her.
