After Zhao Hanzhang took power, she did not hold court every day. Usually it was once every three days, and at special times she would additionally summon ministers into the palace for deliberations; on such occasions, the emperor also had to be present.
At other times, the Little Emperor only needed to follow Zhao Hanzhang, sit in the hall listening to government affairs and reviewing documents.
But no matter which it was, he had to arrive before 7 a.m.
Before the weather turned cold, the Little Emperor had to recite his texts before going to the main hall to "work," so as to cope with the Grand Tutor's inspection in the afternoon, and only then go to listen to government affairs; after the weather turned cold, his schoolwork lessened a bit, but… it was really hard to get up, especially now that dawn came later.
