Bab 223: Not So Above (Emperor Yang & Guifei Changchang. CAN SKIP)

Before dinner that night, Emperor Yang paid a visit to a certain someone. It was one of the days that he had been looking forward to. He was only allowed to do this twice in a season.

The emperor was looking around the banisters, looking for signs that the house was rotting away so that he could provide a new one. But there was not a single sign of disintegration. "You're keeping this house well maintained," he told the woman who was serving him tea.

"Yes, of course, Your Imperial Majesty. It's a present from you," smiled Guifei Changchang. "I'm surprised by your visit today. I'm not expecting you until the end of the month."

The emperor nodded. "It's too loud in the palace nowadays. All those princesses…" he shook his head. "It could get tiring, and I'm not even the one who's entertaining them."

Guifei Changchang said, "Prince Xiaodan must be terribly busy. I hope he chooses a princess fit for Heping."
