On the way into the palace with the old eunuch, Tang Yu took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.
The old eunuch was quite cordial. It was obvious that Tang Yu had been summoned this time to receive a reward.
When they were nearing the Palace of Benevolent Longevity, where the emperor resided, Tang Yu suddenly called out to the old eunuch ahead of him.
"Eunuch Li, you dropped something."
"Oh?"
Eunuch Li turned around and saw Tang Yu handing him an exquisitely crafted waist pendant.
The pendant gave off a faint, pure spiritual aura. It was clearly a treasure capable of gathering spiritual energy.
Having spent his entire life in the palace, how could the old eunuch not understand such matters? He beamed as he accepted the pendant.
"Good thing Thousand-Household Commander Tang spotted it. If it had truly been lost, this old servant would have been heartbroken."
Having accepted the gift, his attitude toward Tang Yu grew even more cordial. In his heart, he deeply approved of this young man whose future seemed boundless.
To become a good official, one first had to become a good person.
Upon arriving at the Palace of Benevolent Longevity, the old eunuch said softly, "I'll escort Thousand-Household Commander Tang no further."
Though he held some standing in the palace, he was not qualified to step inside.
"Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Li."
After thanking him, Tang Yu slowly entered the Palace of Benevolent Longevity.
The emperor had not attended court for many years, so the Palace of Benevolent Longevity had become the true center of power in the entire Great Cloud Dynasty.
As he walked inside, Tang Yu knew that he had finally put down real roots in Kyoto, and that his future would no longer be limited
