The ladies of the Dong Family can stay in the palace for three hours, and will leave after having dinner.
This was mentioned in the Emperor's verbal decree.
Therefore, Chunqi in the small kitchen became busy again.
As everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, apart from the Second Madam being busy taking pulses for the Second Princess and Lin Wanyi, the others were warmly chatting.
Approaching dinner time, the Second Prince returned from outside.
Originally, he should have gone with everyone to the traveling palace to escape the summer heat.
But the Emperor and Empress Dowager had asked several times, and he was not willing.
He said he feared there would be no one to accompany Lin Wanyi, so he volunteered to stay and take care of her.
Moreover, since he had made some progress in his studies and archery, he also didn't want to stay idle and planned to practice more to achieve a better level.
Therefore, no one insisted.
