Manbao was escorted back to Changqing Alley by palace attendants. Today she entered the palace early, so she came out early as well. She greeted Xiang Mingxue, who was sitting in the courtyard, and curiously asked, "Aren't you going to read today?"
Xiang Mingxue shook his head and smiled, "I promised Mr. Zhuang to have tea with him today."
"And where's the gentleman?"
Xiang Mingxue smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuang forgot where he kept the tea leaves; he might have accidentally finished them, so he decided to ask Mr. Jiang for another pack."

She nodded silently and returned to her room.
After washing her hands and face, Manbao lay on the bed, drew down the mosquito net, and then, feeling refreshed, leaned on the bed and let her consciousness sink into the system to watch the video of the Crown Prince.
