The three only rarely have the chance to stroll around on non-holidays or non-festival days, mainly because they didn't live in the palace before, where there wasn't a dedicated time for leaving school. After school or work there were still many things to do, still in a state of overtime, with no free time to go out.
Imperial Doctor Lu and Imperial Doctor Liu are still confined at the imperial estate, so Manbao doesn't have many things to handle. Usually, in the morning she manages official duties at the Imperial Hospital, occasionally taking cases to see patients, and in the afternoon she goes to the Chongwen Pavilion to edit books, so she now has time to enjoy after work.
Bai Shan's schedule is more flexible; at the Hanlin Academy, he can be busy if he's busy, or leisurely if he's not busy.
The three had a meal outside, looked around, and decided to casually stroll to the bookstore.
