“Your Highness…it’s still early, would you like to stroll around the streets before heading back?” Youjiang asked.
Rong Ning shook her head. "No one has had a proper rest lately. Let's hurry back to the manor to freshen up, have a good meal, and then get a good night's sleep."
"That's what I think too!" Ah Ying sighed. "I'm so tired! I just want to get some sleep."
During this time, Youjiang and Aying accompanied Rong Ning on her patrols. Apart from the two of them, everyone in the military camp was a man. However, since they were Rong Ning's close associates, they did everything with utmost care in order to gain the respect of the troops. Whether it was academic or martial arts, no one in the army dared to look down on them.
It's very difficult to reach this level. Rong Ning also rose to prominence among men in this way, so she naturally knows how much they have sacrificed. She feels both heartache and relief.
The three of them returned to the mansion together. Before they even dismounted, they saw Xie Chong standing in front of the vermilion gate.
Rong Ning's mind went blank for a moment...

During this time, she seemed to have forgotten that she had already chosen a husband, and she didn't think of Xie Chong at all.
Thinking about it this way, Rong Ning felt a little sorry for Xie Chong, bringing him to this unfamiliar Kangye City and leaving him to fend for himself.

Rong Ning glared at the two of them before walking up to Xie Chong and saying softly, "It's so cold outside, why stand outside waiting? Don't get frostbite!"
"Your Highness has been traveling and working hard for more than two months, while I am just standing at the gate of the mansion to welcome you back. I won't get cold, and I have been waiting like this all this time without any problem!"
He spoke lightly, but Rong Ning felt increasingly guilty listening to him. She apologized, "Sigh... You just arrived in Kangye City, and I left you alone in the manor without asking about you or writing back to you. It was my oversight, and I won't do it again!"
Ultimately, she just hadn't realized she was already married!
My apologies!
Xie Chong seemed to sense her apology and said slowly, "Your Highness is busy with important matters, how can you attend to everything? Besides, I am a living person, and there will be no problem for me to stay in Kangye City. Your Highness can rest assured!"
"That's good!"
