"It's just that I'm not good with alcohol," Li Rong concealed her inner turmoil, her mind racing with countless thoughts. Should she take the chance to slip away before he recognizes her? No, he is now the Emperor, and every move she makes is under his watchful eye; wouldn't that be like revealing her hand?
At that moment, Qin Ze, who had been observing Li Rong's expression, leaned in close and whispered, "Supreme Deity, it seems the Emperor is looking at you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rong felt a chill run down her spine, feeling flustered and wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
Ming Yue, dressed in dark robes with his black hair tied up by a jade crown, had a face like polished jade and thin lips pressed together. He exuded an air of cold aloofness that was a stark contrast to the weeping Young Prince of years past. Yet those deep-set eyes seemed to hold a hint of familiarity.
Noticing her evasive gaze, he smiled slightly, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth as he slowly spoke, "Li Rong, Supreme Deity, it seems you are quite afraid of me?"
Li Rong's heart skipped a beat as she forced herself to respond calmly, "Young Emperor, you jest. Why would I be afraid of you?"
She set down her cup and subtly stepped back, trying to create some distance between them.
"Supreme Deity, your hairpin..." Qin Ze reminded softly.
Li Rong looked down to see that the tassel on her hairpin had accidentally caught on Ming Yue's sleeve. She felt embarrassed and wished she could disappear into the ground as she hurriedly tried to untangle it but only made it worse.
Seeing this, Ming Yue raised an eyebrow and reached out to help her untangle the tassel. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against Li Rong's earlobe, causing her to instinctively shrink back.
He withdrew his hand, looking at her with an amused expression and a tone full of meaning: "Li Rong, Supreme Deity, you seem to get nervous quite easily."
Li Rong struggled to maintain her composure and replied with a forced smile, "Thank you for your concern, Young Emperor. I'm fine."
After saying this, she hurriedly left the Jade Pool. Behind her came Ming Yue's low laughter, sending chills down her spine and further confirming that he must have recognized her!

Li Rong stumbled away from the Jade Pool, her heart racing as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
"Supreme Deity, please slow down and watch your step," Qin Ze reminded her as he jogged behind. But Li Rong was too preoccupied to pay attention.
Her mind replayed the scenes from the Jade Pool, Ming Yue's gaze and tone felt like sharp blades, slicing open the secrets she had buried deep within her heart.
No, she couldn't lose her composure!
Li Rong stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself.
" Qin Ze, do you think... he really recognized me?" Li Rong turned to Qin Ze, her voice trembling slightly.
"Well..." Qin Ze hesitated, looking troubled.
"But feel free to speak," Li Rong urged, forcing herself to sound composed.
Seeing her like this, Qin Ze decided not to hold back any longer and lowered his voice. "Supreme Deity, think about it. The Emperor is a person of great stature and meticulous thought. Even if his memory of past events is hazy, he likely still has some impression. Your reaction just now was indeed..."
"Too obvious, right?" Li Rong forced a bitter smile as she finished his sentence, feeling increasingly uneasy.
"That's not what I meant..." Qin Ze quickly waved his hands in explanation when he saw her expression darken.
"Alright, I know you're looking out for me," Li Rong said as she patted his shoulder, trying to lift her spirits. "This isn't the time for such discussions; I need to think of a plan."
As Li Rong pondered her strategy, she wandered aimlessly through the celestial palace. Before she knew it, she had arrived at the Imperial Garden.
In early spring, the garden was in full bloom with vibrant colors and breathtaking beauty. However, Li Rong had no mind to appreciate the scenery; her thoughts were consumed with how to deal with Ming Yue.
"Perhaps... I should turn this situation to my advantage?" she murmured to herself.
"Supreme Deity, what did you say?" Qin Ze looked at her in confusion.
Li Rong stopped in her tracks, turned to him, and a sly smile crept onto her lips. "Since he suspects that I am the 'A Li' from back then, I might as well admit it. However..."
She deliberately elongated the last word, a glint of mischief flashing in her eyes.
"But what?" Qin Ze asked curiously.
"But I want him to believe that I am no longer that little girl he used to tease!"
As she spoke, her smile grew even wider.
"The meaning of Supreme Deity is..." Qin Ze looked at Li Rong with a hint of understanding.
"I want him to taste the feeling of being teased!" Li Rong's eyes sparkled with playful intent.
With that, she turned and walked deeper into the imperial garden, already brainstorming how to deliver a "great gift" to Ming Yue.
Qin Ze watched Li Rong's retreating figure, a helpless yet affectionate smile on his face. He knew that his Supreme Deity was about to start causing some trouble again.
