The west side hall, at the Crown Prince's Mansion
"Mistress, it is Ji Yang. His Highness must be back!"
"Finally!" Zhu Fenfang muttered as she felt like a huge weight was lifted off her shoulder. It was like the reward of all her pain and sorrow had arrived. She sat up to appear more regal, image was everything in the royal family. She placed the book she held on the table in front of her and looked up with a serene expression.
Ji Yang was a eunuch registered under Zhu Fenfang at the crown princes mansion. He served as the steward and footman in her courtyard and was well connected since he had worked at the Crown Prince's mansion for over a decade. He came in immediately after the crown Prince moved in but because the Crown Prince already had some reliable workers that served him in the palace while growing up.
