Song Ci slept well through the night and woke up early to drink tea.
"Have Si Lang and the others all gone to the palace?"
Niu Pan'er, being a Commandery Princess with rank and a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, naturally had to bring her new groom to the palace to express gratitude.
Nanny replied with a smile, "They set off before dawn and should be back at the mansion by the end of the Chenshi hour. By then, it will be time for the recognition ceremony and serving tea."
"I've prepared my recognition gifts properly, right? There shouldn't be any mistakes?" asked Song Ci.
"Of course, you can be at ease."
"That's good to know."
Curiously, Song Ci asked, "Was there much commotion in their courtyard last night?"
Nanny was a bit exasperated, "Madam, are you trying to eavesdrop on your son and daughter-in-law's privacy?"
"Just asking, just asking," Song Ci grinned awkwardly.
