Qin Zhenghai, upon exiting Jiuzhou Qingyan, was met head-on by three princes.
They were precisely Fifth Prince Hongxin, Sixth Prince Hongzhou, and Seventh Prince Hongdan.
"This subject pays respects to the Princes." Qin Zhenghai hurriedly said.
"Master Qin, please rise." Hongxin helped him up: "You are advanced in age, no need for such formalities."
"Thank you, Fifth Prince." Qin Zhenghai straightened up: "Are the Princes here to pay respects to His Majesty? I was just on my way out."
"Indeed, is Master Qin returning to Fujian after the New Year?" Hongxin asked with a smile.
Qin Zhenghai chuckled evasively: "That depends on His Majesty's arrangements."
It seemed that this elder wasn't aware of the matter of the Crown Prince's establishment.
"Master Qin, you've returned to the capital all worn out from travel, I won't delay you further. Quickly head back to rest." Hongxin waved him off.
Bidding farewell to the princes, Qin Zhenghai exited the garden.
