Tingwu, in the end, never made it to the Court of Judicial Review.
Within Anle Palace, the usual rowdy noises had vanished. Instead, Tingwu had taken to raising a parrot. In his words, since the Prince didn't require any "hero saving the damsel" antics, he was left with nothing to do. If people from the frontier could train eagles, why couldn't he pass the time training a parrot? As it turned out, the parrot adopted his exact sleep schedule—when he slept, the parrot slept; when he woke, the parrot woke.
Consequently, Tingwu simply fed the bird, tended to his plants, and spent hours doting on a newly acquired zither before turning to head back into the palace. Just then, a young eunuch announced from the doorway, "Young Master Ting, Miss Jiang from the Minister of Revenue’s estate is here to see you."
