Jinrong arrived at Lang Garden, where the courtyard had been rented by a frequent guest not for entertaining but for a family escaping the summer heat in this watery place.
Although Lang Garden had guests, it also had places for handling affairs privately. Jinrong came here with no particular agenda, intentionally wanting to inconvenience the emperor, prompting him to broach the subject and implement the plan discussed earlier that day.
To make a noticeable impression, he intended to linger in the courtyard for the entire day.
Fortunately, Lang Garden had no uncomfortable spots, with bright, airy rooms and exquisite carvings. In the courtyard, the transplanted large trees from early spring flourished with lush leaves and a cool breeze. Even resting on the bamboo chair under the tree was comforting.
It was not until near evening that Jinrong rode back to the city.
The following day, he went again.
