Under the strong recommendation of the Crown Princess, Gao Yuting ascended to the throne, but stayed alone in the empty boudoir.
Once when she was greeting her, she and Empress Dowager Yu Xinyao inadvertently touched each other physically. Strange ripples appeared in her heart, and she subconsciously avoided them. The Empress Dowager became suspicious and went to the Qianqing Palace in person and overheard the conversation between the palace maid and Gao Yuting.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has been hiding from the Queen Mother, what should I do?"
"Perhaps not seeing you is the best choice."
"Empress, you will be accused of being unfilial."
"When I meet the Queen Mother, I'm afraid I will do something even more inappropriate..."
Yu Xinyao walked in, rejected everyone, and asked: "What's more inappropriate? Tell me. Why are you hiding from me?" Gao Yuting hesitated and then confessed: "I'm afraid of seeing you." Yu Xinyao frowned and said sincerely: "Yu'er, why do you and I need to stay apart? Just tell me what's on your mind."
Intention: I can't help falling in love with you
