Unknowingly, the sun had already set. Thus, several ministers, including the emperor, stood by the desk for the whole day.
Only Xiao'er had to go to Kun Ning Palace a few times during the day to breastfeed the children. After the children were fed, they fell asleep. Actually, babies only a few months old sleep most of the day. They stay awake for less than 30 minutes each time, and sleep right after being fed.
Looking after them wouldn't be too much trouble for the Empress.
The sun had set, and the Empress personally came to urge everyone to eat.
Even after a full day of discussion, they had only managed to debate over the battle plans for a dozen counties. There were still tens of counties left to discuss!
They were destined to work through the night!
So the Emperor summoned everyone to have dinner quickly, and then continue the discussion.
The Empress took Xiao'er back to Kun Ning Palace for dinner.
Then, she was amazed by the portion Xiao'er ate.
