In an abode by the back garden of the palace, Lu Chengfeng was looking excited while walking quickly around a white jade flower pot. The pot was planted with a flowering begonia, and the breeze from his brisk walk stirred the flowers, causing their petals to fall onto the ground.
Meng Xiaobai, Zhang Hu, Hu Wei, Luo Kedi, Ma Liang, and other confidants of Lu Chengfeng were standing aside, their faces excited too as they kept peering over at the entrance. Lu Quyuan was sitting lazily in a chair with his mischievous eyes lingering around a few pretty serving ladies standing in a corner of the abode.
