Shaoyang Court is the Crown Prince's territory, and as a stepmother, she had avoided suspicion by never openly making things difficult for the Crown Prince. Now she was glad that she had been careful with her reputation, and had not done anything that others could easily criticize. Otherwise, reconciling with the Eastern Palace might not be so easy now.
Su Xinyi of course knew about the Shaoyang Court but did not expect the Empress to say this. She nodded and said, "I'll listen to my mother, and ask him when he comes back. However, Shaoyang Court is closer to several government offices, and I don't think it is very convenient."
Shaoyang Court was surrounded by the Imperial Academy of Western Scholars and the Left Depository. It was also close to Linde Hall. If she really moved there, she would inevitably meet some courtiers in her daily activities. This needed careful consideration.
