Book Synopsis
In the palace interior, a fragrant breeze wafted gently, and the pearl curtains shimmered softly. Yun Kezhai leaned gracefully against the Palace Couch, idly toying with a gift sent by Prince Huai'an Feng Yuan.
It was a delicate and exquisite incense burner. She turned it over in her hands, examining it closely; inside, it contained spices unique to the southern regions, which upon closer inspection appeared unremarkable.
After pondering for a while, Yun Kezhai noticed the small openings at the bottom of the burner. Remembering the last time when Feng Yuan had sent her a Gold Hairpin, she finally smiled knowingly, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly to reveal a meaningful expression.
Waving her hand to dismiss those around her, she slowly removed the Gold Hairpin from her hair. Her movements were gentle yet resolute as she inserted it into the intricately carved opening at the base of the burner, turning it carefully twice with focused intent.
With a soft "click," the hidden mechanism at the bottom of the burner was indeed activated, revealing a tiny Wax Bead concealed within its center.
She skillfully dismantled the Wax Bead to uncover a Secret Letter. As she unfolded the paper, her fingers trembled slightly; it was still written in Feng Yuan's subtle handwriting: Everything is ready. I will soon set off back to the capital to congratulate His Majesty on his longevity celebration.
