章 152: Lovebirds

It was a rare afternoon when Liu Yao had the opportunity to leave his study early. The ministerial memorials for the day weren't pressing; just much of the same intrusive nonsense that sought to pry into his personal life, albeit concealed beneath a thin veil of politeness.

Although Ah Yun spent most nights nestled in his arms in the dragon bed, Liu Yao was aware that after taking an early breakfast, his imperial noble consort made sure to go back to his designated residence to hold the harem's morning assembly. Ah Yun did so without fail, despite Liu Yao mentioning on multiple occasions that he didn't have to be so diligent about it.
