Seeing the Fourth Prince in the Emperor's manor, the Palace maids bowed before him. "Is his majesty asleep?" Nianzu asked one of them.
"No, your highness."
Eunuch Jin came there with Chief Eunuch and greeted the Prince. "Your highness, why are you here at this hour?" Eunuch Jin humbly questioned him.
"To meet my father. Please tell him that I have to discuss something important," Nianzu asserted. Eunuch Jin nodded and walked in while the Chief Eunuch left the manor. A minute later, Eunuch Jin came out and informed the Fourth Prince that he could meet the Emperor.
Nianzu walked in. He found his father on a chaise, sipping the tea. "Sincere apologies to disturb you at this hour, Father," Nianzu politely said.
"You did not disturb me." Han Wenji passed him a smile and gestured to him to take a seat on another chaise. Nianzu sat while Han Wenji ordered the Tea maker to serve tea to the Fourth Prince.
