"Where is she?" Su Zhiruan looked up and didn't see any trace of Cuihua.
"She waited for a while, found out that both you and the Prince were here, and then left."
"Have her come to the Imperial Study Room to find me." Su Zhiruan could roughly guess what she wanted to say, but since Cuihua left after coming, it showed she hadn't figured it out yet.
Su Zhiruan wasn't in a hurry to see her, preferring her to come back once she had a clear mind.
Ji Xiaoyuan, as an envoy coming to the Wan Dynasty, was also busy, and the Ministry of Rites had prepared a banquet for entertaining various nations' envoys.
The two reluctantly parted ways, each going about their own business.
Near dusk, Su Zhiruan finally finished meeting with the ministers, and there were only a few petitions left.
"What hour is it?" she asked the female official lighting the lamps, rising to approach her with inquiry.
