Sun Yun had no intention of getting up. She lay on the bed, looking as if she hadn't eaten for days, and said with her eyes closed, "It's not like I'm paying my respects. Green Ivy, go tell them that this young lady misses her family and is feeling worried. Don't bother her."
After saying that, he fell asleep like a dead pig.
"Alright, I'll go tell them right away." Green Luo curtsied and quickly ran out of the embroidered tower.
Zhao Shu and Sun Yun lay on the bed, their eyes still closed, but they were no longer sleepy. Sun Yun comforted Zhao Shu, saying, "Don't be angry. They're just a bunch of insignificant people. They're just jealous of you. A life without being envied is a failure. So you've succeeded, and you might even be remembered for all time."
Zhao Shu sighed helplessly and tried to shake her head, but even that was too much effort. "I'm not angry, I'm just really annoyed."

Moreover, Zhao Wanru and the others learned yesterday that the Empress Dowager refused to see her. What does this mean today? Are they all here to laugh at her? Aren't they afraid that the Empress Dowager might suddenly change her mind and slap them in the face?
Hmph, they probably think that if the Empress Dowager sees them, it means they have a lot of influence; if the Empress Dowager doesn't see them, she'll blame it on them.
The two went back to sleep, and before they knew it, it was already broad daylight. For some reason, Zhao Shu couldn't fall back asleep, so she got up and was combing her hair when Green Ivy said to her, "Princess, Sister Magpie is here. She's inviting you and Miss Sun to the Huo residence, saying that we have a guest from afar."
Upon hearing the words "distant guest," Zhao Shu's heart pounded like lightning. Could it be that the Crown Prince had arrived in Guanzhou? So quickly?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, she hurriedly asked Chu Chun to prepare gifts. She and Sun Yun put on autumn clothes, cloaks, and veils to cover their faces. They drove the carriage with Hai and others, and went to Huo's residence in a grand procession.
