Eternal Shadows of Jade

Within the opulent confines of the imperial study room, an air of joy enveloped Emperor Liang as Mei Ling, with a heart filled with affection, prepared and served a meal for her beloved emperor. The fragrance of the carefully crafted dishes mingled with the intoxicating atmosphere of their shared love, sparking a romance that ignited within the walls of the room.

As the couple's affections deepened, tender kisses and the murmur of passion echoed within the imperial study. Unbeknownst to the enamored pair, a blushing eunuch stood guard outside the door, inadvertently privy to the intimate symphony unfolding within.

In the midst of their shared moments, Lady Xi, guided by duty and unaware of the amorous spectacle behind the study door, arrived with a tray of food for the emperor. The eunuch, sensing an impending revelation, hesitated but ultimately opened the door for Lady Xi.
