Watching the Crown Prince leave, the Empress's expression was complex, but she said nothing more.
The two walked along the palace path through the layers of halls back to the Yangxin Palace. No sooner had they entered the main hall than the Palace Servants hurried up to greet them.
"Your Highness, allow us to help you change your clothes."
"Hmm."
The Empress said to Chen Mo, "You go sit in the inner hall for a bit. I will come over shortly."
"Yes."
Chen Mo went to the inner hall and sat on the carved nanmu Grandmaster chair.
A moment later, Jin Shu approached with a teacup, placing it on the small table beside him, "Mr. Chen, please have some tea."
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Jin Shu."
Jin Shu's cheeks flushed faintly, and she whispered, "Mr. Chen, please don't tease a servant like me."
