Wen Jinkai didn't plan to visit the Emperor and Empress, but he was swept into an audience with them after being ambushed by a group of Eunuchs in an empty hallway. He didn't realize he had trespassed into this area yet again, the same space that Li Xueyue had gotten lost in last time.
Standing before the golden staircase leading up to the Emperor and Empress, Wen Jinkai had a blank expression on his face. He was here for less than a minute and was already bored by their presence. He nearly rolled his eyes upon hearing the squeamish and excited whispers of the Princesses seated near Emperor Fadong and Empress Huiyun.
Finally, Emperor Fadong spoke up. "What were you doing in that corridor, Jinkai?"
"I was on my way to visiting the Second Prince."
"But his living quarters are in the opposite direction from the one you have trespassed into," Emperor Fadong scolded, disapproval written all over his face. "Are you reminiscing again?"
