After staying at Ninth Uncle's place overnight, Hongxin and the others leisurely had breakfast the next day, then lingered through the morning before returning to the Old Summer Palace.
Seeing them off, Ninth Uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Truly nerve-wracking, if anything were to happen to these young royals, he couldn't bear the responsibility!
In the garden, Ye Zao met with the little ones and waved them off to do their own things.
Turning back, Ye Zao couldn't help but converse with Ah Yuan with a smile: "His Majesty said I've underestimated Hongxin. I think I really have underestimated him."
"I always think he's still a child, but actually he's matured quite a bit."
"Indeed, Fifth Prince is quite smart. There's no need for you to worry. What's most important now is your own health, especially with the little one you're carrying." Ah Yuan laughed.
Ye Zao nodded and leaned on her arm to bask in the sun.
These days, she's taken a liking to sunbathing.
