"Alright, I will personally visit Zhao Yang Palace to see the Empress first thing tomorrow morning."
"Once Fifth Sister returns to the palace, Second Mother Consort might come around too, and hopefully, she won't make me any more soup. If I hear the word 'soup' again, I might just gag."
Lady Liang held back a smile and said, "In a couple of days when you leave the palace, mention this to the Fifth Prince Consort, so they won't overthink it."
"Alright."
Zhao Yao chatted with Lady Liang for a while longer before leaving to return to Xingde Palace.
Tong Xi reported to Zhao Yao about the happenings at the morning court: "Your Highness, the Xiongnu are coming to our Great Zhou soon, and everyone is saying that their intentions are not good."
"The Xiongnu are coming to Great Zhou to spy on our military affairs, so how could their intentions be good," Zhao Yao speculated. "When they reach the capital, they will surely provoke us."
"Are the Xiongnu really that audacious?"
