Chen Mansion Main Hall.
"Servant pays respects to Princess De Ning, apologies for my late arrival. I hope Your Highness won't hold it against me."
Chen Mo entered the hall in a hurry, with a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, as if he had rushed over the moment he heard the news.
After bowing, Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Zhao Jiangning, who was seated above.
Her skin was radiant and delicate, like ivory carved into jade; though not the most beautiful Chen Mo had ever seen, she certainly had the most charm, like a gentle spring breeze.
Her floor-length satin gown was a mix of moon white and soft pink, with golden embroidery along the hem and sleeves, highlighting her noble status.
On the table beside her were tea and fruits, accompanied by two maids.
"General Chen Hong, you're too kind. You're a great hero of our Great Song now." Zhao Jiangning waved her hand, and the accompanying maid personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Mo.
