"Prince Chen and Princess have had a difficult journey..." Ye Zhengde was speaking.
A palace maid approached Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing's eyes flickered slightly.
Ye Qichi recognized her at a glance; it was Wen Jingtang's palace maid, Liu Li.
After paying respects to them, Liu Li respectfully said to Xiao Jinxing, "The Empress Dowager heard about Prince Chen's audience with the Emperor today and sent me to wait for Prince Chen."
Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.
He had anticipated that the Empress Dowager would seek him out.
Even if she hadn't, he would have taken the initiative to visit her.
He said to Ye Qichi, "I shall visit Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. Ye Qichi, wait for me in the carriage later."
"Alright."
Xiao Jinxing left.
After his departure, only she and Ye Zhengde remained.
"Father, let's take a walk," Ye Qichi said.
"Alright."
The two of them walked towards the exit of the Imperial Palace.
Intentionally slowing their pace.
