It was a routine visit like any other to the palace of Concubine Lishu, one of the highest-ranking concubines of the Emperor, Jinshi's elder brother.
As usual, he acted like the eunuch he pretended to be. No one was to know he was a member of the royal family. It was just a visit to see if the poor 14-year-old girl who lacked self-confidence was doing better since her harassing maids had been dismissed.
However, the false eunuch's breath was taken away when he greeted the concubine.
At his side was her taster, her only trusted maid, as well as a eunuch (a real one, not like Jinshi) hired the time to find new maids for the poor girl. The prince fell in love at first sight, he was certain of it.
For a moment, Jinshi wanted to throw everything away just for this handsome eunuch. However, he quickly recovered, offering his charming smile to the little girl immersed in political affairs despite her lack of maturity and strength of character.
"How have you been since last time, Lady Lishu ?"
