Chapter 85: The long journey to Ningzhuo 1

Lu Yaozhu's study

In a well-lit room facing the small garden in Mingxi Pavilion, Lu Yaozhu stood facing the rectangular-shaped desk, next to the wall at the centre of the room, with his back to the door. While Yu Tao loosens up his belt and purple official clothes. 

Yu Tao loosen up the leather belt wrapped around his waist and helped him out of the purple brocade uniform for military officers. Lu Yaozhu changed into a white embroidered high necked, fitted Hanfu. He traded in the bold leather belt for a slimmer belt.

Lu Yaozhu walked around to the other side of the desk and took a seat, he began to sort through the piled documents on his desk. He was a few documents in when he heard the servants stationed outside greet Su Liya. Lu Yaozhu glanced at Yu Tao, who was carefully folding his official uniform, then at the door.
