"I'm glad Brother Yujin and Zhongshu came to the palace on my invitation," Jia Li said as she received them personally. "We should head inside and then we can sit together to converse," she added.
Both Lee Yujin and Lee Zhongshu thanked her for her warm welcome. They followed her in and were mesmerized to see the manor's interior for the first time. The lines of servants, which were available all the time, were dressed in different dresses according to their ranks. Everything about the palace was being disciplined.
Finally, they entered the main chamber, they were greeted by the sight of Xianwu, who was now the Crown Prince. He exuded royalty because of the attire he had put on.
"I was called for work, so I couldn't receive you two," Xianwu said. After Jia Li's suggestion, he decided to be polite with his stepbrothers. His stepbrothers bowed to him in respect and lowered their eyes.
