After sending off Prince Rong, the young eunuch beside the eunuch asked, "Master, why are you so courteous to Prince Rong? He doesn't seem like someone with ambition."
"That's what you don't understand. The more someone shows their desires openly, the easier it is to deal with them. Doesn't Prince Rong appear to be unassuming? Precisely because of this, he is unpredictable. This prince is quite learned and conducts himself with such low-key prudence that no one has ever caught him doing anything wrong. Isn't that a skill in itself?"
"Learn from this. Even if you desire something, as long as no one catches you doing anything wrong, even if you fail in the future, your outcome won't be too miserable."
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch nodded in sudden realization, "I will strive to learn."
After Li Chongjin left the palace, he returned directly to the mansion. Passing by a pastry shop, he entered to buy a portion and had the attendant beside him deliver it to the Chu family.
