Bab 276: Retreating For Advancement

When Xiao Juan came out of the study, he bumped into Wei Huaien.

The two sides met.

Wei Huai'en bowed and said respectfully.

"Your Highness, long time no see. You look much more energetic after coming back from Liaodong County."

Xiao Juan did not like to interact with these eunuchs, but these eunuchs accompanied the emperor all day long and could not be offended.

He replied indifferently, "You look the same. Nothing has changed."

Wei Huai'en smiled. "If Your Highness is leaving the palace, I'll arrange a soft sedan chair for you."

Horses were not allowed in the palace. Officials could only walk in and out. However, a favored official like Duke Lang could sit in a sedan chair although everyone in the palace knew that Duke Lang did not like to do so.

Wei Huai'en's question was clearly out of courtesy.

Xiao Juan rejected the other party's kindness and strode down the steps.
