Zhao Yao was too embarrassed to sleep in at the Li Family, so he got up at the hour of Chen. By that time, the Fourth Prince, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Junior Minister had already entered the palace.
After having breakfast at the Li Family, Zhao Yao bid farewell to Madam Li and Sister Houci. As for Minister Li and the uncles, they had already gone to the Imperial College at dawn.
Before leaving, Sister Houci gave Zhao Yao many books, which were sent as instructed by the Fourth Prince. She also gave Zhao Yao quite a few Gusu snacks that Uncle Qing had specially prepared for him.
Sister Houci even made a wallet and a handkerchief for Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, do come often to visit us."
Zhao Yao accepted the wallet and handkerchief made by Sister Houci without hesitation, grinning, "Sister Houci, don't worry, I will make sure my Fourth Brother brings me here often."
