Gu Jinghui: "..."
Before he could think it over, the Prince of Qi continued, "I came here simply to tell my third brother that Father has this plan, and I'm afraid the appointment will be issued in just a few days. My brothers and I all have some officials we know in private, and they will come to you sooner or later."

King Qi slowly tied the sachet around his waist, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was quite interested. "I once went to Ranxiangju in search of a rare fragrance, but unfortunately Manager Leng couldn't make it."
