The Empress sat poised on the Imperial Throne, resplendent in a bright yellow Zhai Clothing, while Eunuch Jin stood bowed behind her, wearing blue satin sleeves.
Below the platform, a young man composed himself, sitting with a straight back and held breath.
In a well-fitted black brocade robe embroidered with silver thread patterns, with narrow eyes and a pale, beardless face, he exuded a distinguished and delicate air.
He was indeed Chu Heng, the Heir of Prince Yu Mansion.
"Your Highness, this is Snow Toad Paste unique to the Western Fan. When simmered, it is refreshingly sweet and nourishing. Regular consumption of this delicacy not only replenishes Primordial Qi but also preserves beauty and prolongs life," Chu Heng said with a smile.
Looking at the wooden box on the Imperial Desk, the Empress nodded slightly and said blandly, "You are thoughtful, Princely Heir."
Eunuch Jin's eyes flickered with light.
