As you can imagine.
This meal didn't go smoothly.
After it hastily ended, Bai Zhi'er immediately pulled Bai Xilie and Jing Jia back to the palace.
Feng Fuce also intended to return to the palace, but before leaving, Bai Xilie said, "Marquis Wan, Prime Minister Wen mentioned he's facing some difficulties lately. He asked you to go to Mingzheng Hall to assist him. Go check it out and report back to me."
Feng Fuce slightly furrowed his brow and turned to look at Bai Zhi'er, who nodded at him.
"Alright." He finally responded.
Then, Feng Fuce left Xie Yu's side without giving him a second glance.
Though Xie Yu was the emperor of Yan Country, Mo Yanchi had arranged for him to stay in the same mansion, which saved Bai Xilie the trouble of specially arranging accommodations for Xie Yu.
The carriage ride back to the palace was silent for the three family members.
Bai Xilie remained silent, entirely because he had drunk a fair amount of peach blossom wine, and was slightly tipsy.
