The kind words of the princess about him hit Prince Qui more than he thought. While he was getting ready, his mind kept replaying the words to him, making his stomach twist into some kind of knot that he could not unravel.
He couldn't believe that he liked the compliments, even though they were not real. Still, that wasn't an emotion that he should be keeping inside his system. He had to let it out or else it would fester his mind and heart with happy thoughts until he was already out his mindset and let this empire fall in the ground.
Nope, he was not going to let that happen.

A handmaiden was shocked to see him when she opened the door. "Me too," he almost told her. He also didn't think that he would find himself outside of Xiaodan's room.
He saw that a woman was tending to his brother's hair. "Are you done making yourself look pretty?"
