"Your Majesty! It's time to go back; the ministers are waiting," Wang Defu reminded the emperor.
Even if the Empress Dowager is free, state affairs cannot be neglected.
Someone just reported that Consort Mei had fallen off her palanquin, and the Emperor immediately abandoned his ministers and ran towards the plum grove.

Consort Mei lay languidly on the couch, her complexion regaining its rosy hue.
