"Eldest Miss Ye, this way, please!" Elderly Lady Zhou curtseyed to Ye Jiuge, turned, and entered the house. Ye Jiuge followed her in.
The house wasn't spacious, but the items decorating it were exquisite. All the furniture was made using high-grade redwood. Although palace lanterns hung in the corners, the place was still dim. From a sandalwood burner with an interlaced floral design of green peony leaves, smoke from burning incense rose in spirals. There was a faint, rotten stink within the incense smell that could not be detected without a careful sniff.
Elderly Lady Zhou brought Ye Jiuge in front of a beaded hanging screen that led to the interior room. The beads were strung together using thumb-sized Southern Pearls, and they shone with a gentle glow under the effects of the light. They were extremely luxurious. Imperial Consort Xi certainly led an exquisite life, likely due to her noble birth.
