Qi Jin and Qi Yu were laughing and making a fuss as they approached from a distance. With a nimble leap, Qi Jin's palm landed atop Qi Yu's head, whilst Qi Yu, holding a wooden box in his hands, swung a foot out. Qi Jin's body was already half-way beyond the corridor, and beneath him lay the glittering emerald waters of Siyan Lake.
"Qi Yu, if you drop the Commandery Princess's gift, we're in big trouble..."
Suddenly, Qi Ling turned his head and immediately knelt down.
"Your Highness—" Qi Ling's voice trembled, his mind going blank.
Qi Zhu couldn't believe it and spun around, falling to his knees with a thud, his lips quivering and then starting to kowtow non-stop.
"Your Highness, this servant spoke nonsense, all hearsay from others, not necessarily..."
Qi Jin and Qi Yu were taken aback, confused by what was happening but aware that something had gone wrong, and so they too immediately knelt down, unsure whether they should start kowtowing.
