Only one princess left.
Xiao Lizi felt a mixture of sadness for Emperor Yongning and genuine happiness for Jun Ning. He was quite conflicted.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and make preparations." Emperor Yongning noticed Xiao Lizi standing still for a while and urged him. He was waiting for his little daughter to be drawn to what he had prepared.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Lizi listlessly went about his tasks.
Emperor Yongning rose and stood by the window for a moment to get some fresh air.
In the following days, Jun Ning indeed visited the Imperial Study Room more frequently because of the food prepared by Emperor Yongning, but it was still not as often as she went to Cining Palace.
The root cause wasn't just about the food; every time Jun Ning went to Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager would accompany her in play, trying out everything Jun Ning enjoyed.
She was very happy playing in Cining Palace, spending her days quite fully.
