In the Book Collection Pavilion, although she was clearly the only one there, Xie Liangchen felt as if she was being watched. She looked around and saw a eunuch carrying a lamp approaching.
"Princess Jia'an," said the eunuch, "though it's daylight, the pavilion is somewhat dim. I'll place a lamp on the table. If you find it hard to read later, you can move under this light."
Xie Liangchen nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
The eunuch placed the lamp down and dutifully stepped aside, standing guard.
Xie Liangchen lifted her head to look around. The shelf in front of her was filled with medical books. She casually picked out one to examine.
The shelf blocked the text; indeed, it wasn't very clear.
Xie Liangchen walked to the table, observing under the lamp's glow.
The room was silent, and the young girl seemed entranced in her reading.
On the other side of the window, the Emperor squinted. The figure under the lamp was particularly vivid.
