"Brother, I'm back."
"oh?"
Emperor Feng smiled, put down his brush, and as he watched Ning Que approach, he jokingly said, "You've been away for quite some time. But you've done a great job governing Daye City. As for leaving Chen Xia in Daye City as the county magistrate, that's also quite appropriate. Chen Xia is capable, and I hold him in high regard.

"All of this is thanks to you!"
