”Your call seeent, how could I not come? Please tell me, what’s the e hall, as a servingit on a rack
”All of you, leave us I wish to speak to ue, and waited until everyone around has left
”My concubine, you don’t have to leave Come and read the letter out to my aunt” The Crown Prince took the hand of his concubine, seeing that she was about to leave with everyone else
Everyone to his left and right walked out before the Crown Prince returned to his hair chair and sat down The concubine sat down beside him as they invited the Grand Princess to take a seat as well
