With these thoughts, Little Wu relaxed again and hurriedly left the Imperial Palace.
Inside the palace.
A few Imperial Guards stood respectfully at the side.
An Ning, as usual, sat beside Fu Xingyi, helping him organize the memorials, while Xiao Luming sat properly beside them, accompanying the review.
Old Ping was on the side, serving tea, pouring water, and preparing pastries.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Old Ping felt that since the Emperor returned from Mobei, he had changed significantly, treating him with much more politeness, which made him feel both flattered and fearful.
Serving an emperor is like serving a tiger; such a sudden change is impossible to discern whether it's blessed or cursed.
Fortunately, it seemed that the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress had improved significantly after their return.
At least the Empress was always by the Emperor's side when he handled official duties.
