The Emperor arrived at Splendid Palace.
He came in with great enthusiasm, waved at the kneeling maids and eunuchs at the entrance, and went straight into Concubine Jin's room.
Concubine Jin was lying on the couch, eating melon seeds, listening to a maid playing the pipa nearby.
The room was cool and refreshing.
"The Emperor is here, Your Highness." The maid whispered to remind her.
Concubine Jin raised her phoenix eyes, glanced at the Emperor, gave a faint response, and continued eating melon seeds.
She didn't even bother to offer him a proper greeting, and giving him a look seemed like she was doing him a big favor.
The surrounding maids and eunuchs also appeared very calm.
It seemed like they had gotten used to this situation.
The Emperor walked up to Concubine Jin with his plump body and sat down casually beside her. He smiled and said, "Jin'er, I have some great news to tell you."
He waved his hand to make the maid stop playing the pipa.
