After the two princes watched her leave, the Eighth Prince glanced at the sky, shook his head and sighed, "It's too late, let's go too."
The Ninth Prince chuckled, "It's nothing. Just have my mother go to Yonghe Palace. Consort De won't refuse such a small favor."

Unfortunately, Nan Yi was late again. A palace maid from Yonghe Palace came out and said that Consort De had been waiting for her for a long time but hadn't seen her. She couldn't stay awake any longer and went to take a nap.

“Mother, why bring this up? Don’t you think a gentle and dignified wife is enough?” The Ninth Prince suddenly stood up, shook his fan a few times, and looked annoyed.
