The young Emperor and Ji Youzhi stepped into the Side Palace. Eunuch Ling stood by the door, the words "His Majesty has arrived!" stuck in his throat.
On the phoenix throne, the Empress Dowager, her hair not entirely dark, wore a large yellow Chrysanthemum. She was smiling sweetly at the Princess, who also had a large Chrysanthemum pinned to her topknot, and who was now plucking the petals off several other large Chrysanthemums one by one.
Seated below the phoenix throne was Prince Yi, who also wore a large Golden Chrysanthemum on his head. He watched the Princess with a benevolent and kind smile.
Eunuch Ling's legs buckled in fright, and he collapsed to his knees with a THUD.
Empress Dowager Xiao and Prince Yi heard the noise and looked up.
Xiaosuisui saw Eunuch Ling kneeling on the ground and blinked at him in confusion. "Eh? Why did Eunuch Ling fall? Did he not watch his step?" she asked.
