Since Xie Rang took power, the emperor's sleeping quarters have been tacitly designated as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the original sleeping quarters have been left vacant. In the end, Yun Qing couldn't stand it anymore and suggested that it be turned into a place for ministers to discuss matters.
His Majesty the Emperor has not yet established a harem, so Yun Qing has nothing to hide in the palace, and her lodging is fixed in a side hall.
Fortunately, this situation was anticipated before they arrived. Yun Qing is now basically accompanied by Qing Lan, who is keeping an eye on her to prevent any risk of Yun Qing's identity being leaked.
I had just sat down on the tatami mat when there was a knock on the door.
"There's some hangover soup brewed in the small kitchen, Grand Tutor, please have a bowl."

When it comes to persistent pestering, the young emperor is a master, certain that Yun Qing will back down.
The final result was as expected: Yun Qing played chess with him until she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, at which point Xie Rang reluctantly prepared to leave.
But before leaving, he gently instructed, "Grand Tutor, please get some rest."
[Don't you even think about who's preventing me from getting a proper rest!]
