Huo Xing'Er and Zhu Xiuxiu said they would go to Bright Moon Pavilion together, but in reality, only Huo Xing'Er went.
Zhu Xiuxiu, on the other hand, went to the Imperial Palace.
The two young masters of the Ji Family had served as the Emperor's reading companions. Although His Majesty had taken personal control of the government long ago, the eighth young master of the Ji Family, Ji Youze, held no official position but still resided in the Palace.
He was an unshakeable and highly favored figure before the Emperor.
As for the seventh young master of the Ji Family, in the very year His Majesty assumed personal rule, he had received an imperially bestowed Gold Medal, granting him authority as if the Emperor himself were present, to leave the Palace and handle cases.
Therefore, even though no one else from the Ji Family held an official position in the imperial court, they still enjoyed the Emperor's favor.
