Zhang Xiaoqing had been waiting in the teahouse next to the study.
From the wee hours to dawn, then morning, and onto the afternoon, she had sent over supper, followed by breakfast and lunch. It wasn't until past four o' clock in the afternoon that the door finally opened.
"Imperial Brother..."
Seeing the Holy Emperor come out first, Zhang Xiaoqing knew the meeting that lasted over a dozen hours had ended.
"Very good," the Holy Emperor nodded towards the Little Eldest Princess and said with a smile, "Your cooking skills are indeed excellent, truly following in the Empress Dowager's footsteps."
"If Imperial Brother likes it, I can cook for you every day."
"Silly girl, even the best meal will become tiresome if eaten every day. In a few days, once you have sorted things out at home, remember to visit the Empress Dowager."
"I know, I will often return to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager."
The Holy Emperor didn't say much more and left under the guidance of the Eunuch.
