It was Yu Zhizhi's first time seeing him, and she didn't know who he was. She gave a slight bow in return and looked at Teacher Dai Li beside her.
Dai Li introduced in a low voice, "This is Yan Ze of the Green Snake Clan. He excels in poetry and painting. He just arrived in the Imperial City last month and is currently living in the Duke Mansion."
'A Green Snake?' Yu Zhizhi lifted her skirts with both hands, stepped onto the stairs, and slowly walked to the entrance of the reception hall.
She stared curiously at the young Snake Clan man for a good while. He seemed to grow a little embarrassed, his gaze shifting slightly away.
From within the reception hall came the soft sound of a teacup being set down.
Only then did Yu Zhizhi realize the Duke was there as well.
