Alright, what was there to worry about?
Xia Ruqing had sent several people and only returned after seeing Ni Manxue off to the palace gate.
After being busy for most of the day, she too felt tired. She washed up, changed her clothes, and went to sleep.
「Let's leave this part aside for now.」
「Outside the palace.」
Xia Tingfeng was indeed waiting outside with his carriage.
Although he had two days off, he dared not let down his guard. After all, he was responsible for the Emperor's safety and could not afford the slightest negligence.
His visit to the palace today was firstly to inspect the barracks, and secondly, to escort his wife to the palace.
Seeing her emerge, Xia Tingfeng hurriedly alighted and personally helped her onto the carriage.
The Hou Mansion was not close to the palace, a good half Shi Chen's ride away.
By the time the carriage returned to the mansion, the sky had already darkened.
Xia Tingfeng saw her to the second gate and then went to his study.
