Zhang Yan was so delighted that his belly shook three times.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave!"
"Yes! Your humble servant shall take his leave!"
With that, he saluted and backed out.

Over here, Zhao Junyao almost cheerfully finished reviewing the remaining memorials.
Afterward, he didn't even bother with his evening meal and hurriedly went to Duanning Palace.
Inside Duanning Palace.
Xia Ruqing was also busy.
The weather had turned cold.
Ever since the two children learned how to walk, they always preferred being outside and refused to come indoors.
Especially tonight, being the fifteenth.
The stars were sparse in the moonlit sky, casting a clear glow across the ground.
Though it was somewhat cold, the moonlight was actually quite beautiful.
The two children were even more unwilling to return, despite all the persuasion from the Palace Maids, eunuchs, Sisters, and the Wetnurse Nanny.
This made Xia Ruqing quite anxious.
