When Ji Linghui saw her father appear once more, she raised her head expectantly. "Dad, did the Emperor agree? What did he say?"
At the sight of her father's unhappy face, she presumed that the Emperor must not have granted his request so readily.

"The Emperor has given his approval. I'll take you out of the palace right now." Ji Qingyuan's quiet voice interrupted all of Ji Linghui's thoughts.
She was stunned. "Dad, what did you say?"
Ji Qingyuan forced a smile and said, "Thank goodness you had that jade bangle bestowed by the late Empress Dowager, or else you probably wouldn't be able to leave the palace so easily."
