Mingquan was practicing with the sword when a maidservant disturbed him. "Your Highness, forgive me for intruding on your practice. The Sixth Prince is here," she informed while keeping her head low.
Mingquan put his hand, which had the sword in it. He was surprised to hear that Lóng Wei had come to meet him. He put the sword into the sheath and handed it to the servant, who brought a clean towel for him. Mingquan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He went to wash his face and hands before going into his chamber.
Once entered, he found Lóng Wei seated around the floor table.
"Would the Sixth Brother like to have tea?" Mingquan asked humbly, before taking the seat in front of him.
Lóng Wei shook his head. "I don't drink tea in the evening," he answered.
"Why has Brother Lóng Wei decided to see me?" Mingquan was curious to know.
"I want a favor from the Fourth Prince," Lóng Wei answered. "I helped him once, and now, he shall repay me," he asserted.
