Chapter 4 Imperial Consort’s Instructions
The newcomer turned out to be Eunuch Jiang Heqing, the Chief Eunuch beside the Imperial Concubine. Lin Wanyi had seen him once at home.
At that time, he was ordered to deliver the Imperial Concubine’s personal gift of fine wine from the Western Regions—truly a man who knew how to handle things and speak sweetly.
"Miss Lin, you’ve finally entered the palace. The Imperial Concubine has been eagerly awaiting your arrival for days now."
Indeed, they all say that you don’t hit someone who’s smiling. Besides, in the palace, this Eunuch Jiang’s skills are exceptional. Yet, he still remained courteous when facing Lin Wanyi, who had just entered the palace as a concubine.
"My thanks to the Imperial Concubine for her concern. I’ve long wished to pay my respects to her."
"We are family sisters after all, thinking alike. The Imperial Concubine has commanded me to invite you over for a conversation."
"That’s wonderful. I trouble Eunuch Jiang to lead the way ahead."
Her attitude, composed and neither servile nor overbearing, indeed made Jiang Heqing take note of this second lady from the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
She was dressed in a snow cyan Soft Smoke Luo Flowing Immortal Palace Dress, her serenity enhanced by it. Her ink-like hair was styled into a Flowing Cloud Bun, with several orchid hairpins inserted askew—compared to the charmingly adorned young ladies, she appeared elegantly simple.
Her complexion was pristine and beautiful, skin like jade—a rare beauty.
Carefully looking, beneath her left eye, there was a faint red teardrop mole, adding a touch of allure.
Indeed, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was a true treasure of feng shui, raising one surpassingly graceful daughter after another.
