First year of Zhengyuan, March, the warmth of spring was palpable.
Tang Xiaobai woke up from her nap and dazedly lay on the couch for a while before slowly getting up.
"Your Majesty visited the Empress after noon," Ah Song reported eagerly.
Tang Xiaobai hummed, washed her face with warm water, and absent-mindedly walked out of the sleeping palace.
Upon entering the main hall, Li Mu, who should have been handling state affairs, was nowhere to be seen.
"His Majesty went to the Forbidden Garden," Yu Jun said.
Tang Xiaobai glanced at the imperial desk, where today's memorials were still piled up.
"Is His Majesty in a bad mood?" Tang Xiaobai asked.
Li Mu's daily schedule was very orderly.
He would rise at dawn, practice martial arts, and then train with the Xuan Yi Guard.
The morning usually involved court sessions, inspections, and audiences, while the afternoon was reserved for reviewing memorials.
