Xu Qing and the old Emperor exchanged banter briefly before leaving the Emperor's Palace.
In truth, his relationship with the old Emperor is quite intriguing now.
Although formalities are observed, in many instances, the distinctions between sovereign and subject are overlooked, and they even tease each other from time to time.

Just as he was in his previous life, socializing was not something he particularly enjoyed because it was exhausting.
