Jiang Cheng and Liang Hong arrived at the entrance of Miaoren Palace.
"Is anyone here?"
The maid of Miaoren Palace saw that it was Liang Hong, with surprise and confusion: "Prince Chu? What brings you here today?"
Liang Hong chuckled: "My friend here would like to see Consort Shu. Could you please announce our visit?"
The maid sized up Jiang Cheng, saw he was dressed plainly but carried an uncommon air, and thought that he must not be an ordinary commoner, so she said, "Gentlemen, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Miaoren Palace was superior in both decor and size to Jinyu Palace.
This suggested that the status of Consort Shu must be higher than that of Liang Hong's mother, Consort Jin.
"Prince Liang Chu's mother?"
Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "They say 'one's status is elevated by one's offspring.' Prince Liang Chu is ignorant and unlearned, yet Miaoren Palace is so grand and luxurious. Does Consort Shu really enjoy such favor?"
