maomao

People in the palace knew that there were 2 princes, the emperor and his younger brother, but they never knew that there was another one of them. Lian is the youngest prince out of the 3, though it's almost as if he was invisible, until this year when he decided to make his presence known. It was a shock to servants and others who worked at the palace who didn't know of him. It is said that he is 17.

Maomao was walking around the rear palace looking for herbs she could possibly use for medicine or poison. She noticed Jinshi and a boy walking next to him, talking to him. Jinshi seemed annoyed and gave the boy a glare but the boy just grinned and kept talking. Maomao raised an eyebrow but rather not get herself involved with Jinshi right now. The boy seemed to have noticed Maomao and said something to Jinshi making Jinshi notice her. ("Oh great") Maomao thought to herself.

And thats how she ended up here, talking to Jinshi who had that annoyingly charming smile on his face.

Jinshi: "Maomao, this is Lian I'm sure you've heard of him, whether it be good or bad."

That earned Jinshi a glare from Lian. Maomao glanced at Lian . . . ("He seems . . . like something") she thought to herself.

Maomao: "It is nice to meet you."

Maomao bowed. She has to be polite, duh, this is the emperors younger brother after all.
