Tianchuan City, an ordinary side room in the harem of the Imperial City.
The summer night's moon was large and its light bright, but the beauty was marred by the constant sound of various insects and frogs.
Yellow pine-wood carved lanterns swayed non-stop in the breeze along the eaves, the wind brushing over the eaves tiles and blowing into the side room through the window.
Liang Ji, dressed in a black luxurious palace skirt, walked quickly along the corridor of the vermilion-pillared palace, the lantern's light casting circles of light and shadow on her face, creating a play of light and dark.
The palace maid waiting outside the side room, upon seeing the visitor, quickly bowed in greeting, but stood dumbfounded for a moment before speaking: "This servant greets... Noble Lady."
