Xuexue got off the carriage, all the young noble ladies and gentlemen were stopped at the entrance, pointing towards the Side courtyard with expressions of surprise and delight.
Following their gazes, Xuexue saw a golden plaque above the entrance with four characters written in the dragon and phoenix dance script - Suxin Villa.
It was said that the Emperor himself wrote the plaque for Suxin Villa and presented it to the Empress.
The Emperor was reputed to have dearly loved the Empress back in the day, bestowing upon her great favor, and gifted her this title. However, in recent years, as the Empress's youth faded and with numerous beauties in the Harem, the Emperor's affection gradually drifted elsewhere, turning his attentions to other young and beautiful Concubines.
Yet, the Empress would often reminisce about the Emperor's kindness, especially this Side courtyard, where she would reside every now and then, mourning the loving days of her past with the Emperor.
