The two embraced each other passionately. After a long while, Zhao Yun suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear! Look at me, engrossed in conversation with you, leaving the Empress outside!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Hong released his arms around her and said, "It's all right. The Empress is a magnanimous person; she won't blame us for a moment of distraction."
Zhao Yun said, "Though the Empress wouldn't mind, neglecting her leaves me feeling uneasy in my heart."
After saying this, she quickly adjusted her hair in front of the mirror and hurried out.
In the outer room, she saw Cai Wei feasting heartily. The meals they had ordered had been delivered at an unknown time and were nearly finished by Cai Wei.
