Into the Palace

"Your Highness is still reading through some official letters. Master Yan, please wait here for a moment, I will announce your arrival."

"Eunuch, please do as you see fit!" Seeing that the eunuch was about to head off, Yan Liqiang asked again, "Oh right, may I ask what is His Highness working on these days?"

That elder eunuch turned around and answered with a respectful smile on his wrinkly face, "Yes, of course, His Majesty is very busy as usual, sometimes he would read official documents into the night. We all thought he was working too hard!"

"His Majesty is the leader of his people — of course he would be so busy and tired!" Yan Liqiang tried to pull a serious expression on his face.

"Indeed! Who can say he isn't!" the elder said as he nodded before leaving the room for that announcement, leaving Yan Liqiang and another younger eunuch waiting on the side.
