"Princess Your Highness."
Phoenix Palace's head steward, Chen Fenglei, saw Phoenix approaching and proactively bent forward to greet her.
Phoenix looked at Chen Fenglei and said with a smile, "Grandpa Chen, it's been a while since I last saw you. How have you been?"
"Ah, my Princess, just call me Lao Chen... I really can't deserve that title. Aren't you shortening my lifespan by doing this?" Chen Fenglei's voice was soft and his speaking tone somewhat sharp, which really did seem a bit like the ancient court eunuchs.
However, Chen Fenglei had not been deliberately castrated; such practices were no longer necessary in the court nowadays.
It happened because he accidentally injured a vital part while training in his youth, lacking a meridian of the Yin Yang Qi, so he could only exert himself in the softer aspect of his energy.
The more he practiced, the softer his energy became, until even his voice and physical traits underwent a significant transformation.
