By the time they returned to the East Palace, it was already midnight.
Crystal Clear Manor was brightly lit, with palace maids like Huang Ying awaiting their return.
Even in Li Yuanyuan's Yellow Flower Pavilion, the lamp was lit, and messengers were sent occasionally to inquire if the Crown Prince and Princess Consort had returned.
Although Wenzan had already begun his enlightenment and studied with Li Tingqian in the Elegance Palace on weekdays, Lingzi often visited Li Yuanyuan's place.
Li Yuanyuan couldn't stop Lingzi from going but was worried about the Crown Prince finding out and getting angry.
Last time Lingzi caught a cold, the Crown Prince blamed Li Yuanyuan, scolded her severely and warned her not to approach the two children again.
Li Yuanyuan felt that it was really difficult.
When she found out that the Princess Consort had returned, she hurriedly took Lingzi's hand and brought her back to Crystal Clear Manor.
