'He certainly got on fast . I should make him wear this outfit some time in the future and make him feel my suffering . ' Shen Tianyu schemed, in envy of Rong Jian's easy and unhindered movement . 'Seriously, what are these women thinking, wearing such heavy clothes and accessories! What if there was an emergency, like a fire or something? They'd be hindered by all these and possibly die! If not, they'd be scarred anyways in which case there would be no point in beautiful clothing . Clothing can only compliment a person, not hide their appearance . I wonder if any women were abandoned during an enemy attack because their clothes were making them slow in running and tripping all over the place . '

The servants that came with them waked behind the two palanquins, walking through the vast palace with heir heads bowed, as if afraid that they'd offend someone if they lifter their heads . Shen Tianyu didn't bother with sightseeing, not moving the curtains at all, merely looking at the outside through the pink veils of the vehicle . When they were walking narrower paths, Rong Jian's palanquin would always go first and her's second . On wider paths, the palanquin bearers walked next to each other . Perhaps that was an order by Rong Jian, but she didn't care .

"We've arrived at Tianqi Hall!" One of the palanquin bearers announced after a while of weaving through the palace roads .

"The Fourth Prince is here!" A eunuch announced right after, before Shen Tianyu could even lift up the curtains .

Rong Jian jumped off first and wanted to go over to help but her two maids had already come forward to assist so he just watched from the sidelines . When she finally landed on the ground and her clothes and accessories looked right, he walked up to her and offered his palm to her . She raised an eyebrow at him as if to question his daring . He smiled and lowered his hand, grabbing hers to hold in his palm . She didn't flinch nor pull away, acting as if nothing was happening . And like this, they walked into the audience hall of the Emperor and Empress .

"Jian'er, you're back . " A kind female voice sounded from the host's seat right after they crossed the threshold, before they could even get down to kowtow .

"Yes, empress mother, this son is sorry for letting you worry . " Rong Jian responded as he walked a bit further and knelt down . Shen Tianyu followed silently and bowed her body until her head touched the ground . Even if, technically she didn't need to because she held enough power to at least cripple this nation, she did so out of courtesy . No matter how much power one has, they must not be arrogant or else everything would be over for them . As they used to say back in her world, karma is a bitch .

"Mmn . Rise . " A curt sound and one word from a man also at the head of the hall, in the main host seat .

Rong Jian rose but Shen Tianyu didn't, kneeling there and bowing her head . He tried to pull her up by their clasped hands but she wouldn't budge . Because of the delay, their sleeves rolled away to reveal their clasped hands for all present to see .

"This young lady, why are you still kneeling?" The female voice asked .

"Answering the Empress, I have not been excused yet so I dare not rise . " Shen Tianyu respectfully replied .

The female giggled into her sleeve . "Such a well-behaved dear . Don't worry, when my husband said 'rise' it means that you are also excused . Or else he would only call out a name . "

"Understood . Thank you Empress for not being angry with this slow subject . " Shen Tianyu bowed down again and finally got up . Rong Jian fully rose with her because he still has not let go of her hand .

The Emperor was sitting in the main host seat, on the left of the table set right in front of the middle of the back wall . The Empress was sitting next to him, on the right of the table . Below the Emperor was three young males, presumably the three older princes, the adopted brothers of Rong Jian .

"Yo, little brother went on a business trip and brought back a little lover, ah . Looks like our ever frost younger brother has finally entered spring . " The second prince in the row below the Emperor, flapped his fan open and commented .

'This one looks like the kind and gentle type but has the personality of a playboy . ' Shen Tianyu mentally took notes on the members of this royal family .

"Don't tease him, it's a good thing that he has finally found someone isn't it? I used to worry that he would really die alone and was beginning to worry he had a problem down there . " The one right below the Emperor commented with a wide smile .

'This one looks like an arrogant ikemen(1), as for his personality, it will need further observation . ' Shen Tianyu boldly looked around at the audience hall that was stationed with not only the royal family, but also a number of servants . Among them, the servants from the Fourth Prince's Wangfu had integrated themselves with as soon as they entered, standing at the entrance with bowed heads .

The third brother guffawed as he slapped his leg . "I was thinking that too! I was ready to look for some doctors to have a look at him! Good thing he doesn't need to be embarrassed now!"

'The third one has the personality of a typical friendly jock . ' Shen Tianyu silently added to her yet small pile of notes .

Rong Jian frowned but there was visible warmth in his eyes . "First brother, Third brother, you are going too far . I merely want to find someone I like and marry them instead of having people throw themselves at me because of my position . I would appreciate it if you would stop making these kinds of jokes . "

"What, afraid we'll scare your little lover away?" The third brother teased .

"Why is only us two getting complaints? Old Two(2) started it first . " The first brother complained .
