"Okay, I'm on my way." The little bee flapped its wings, preparing to fly.
Not wanting it to go unrewarded, Ye Qianning tossed it a red fruit.
The little bee deftly caught it in its tiny mouth and flew away, its eyes crinkling in delight.
Ye Qianning glanced at the sky. It looked to be around ten o'clock at night. She yawned. After sitting all afternoon with a constant racket in her ears, she was exhausted.
'I should get some rest. Never mind the bloodline test tomorrow; it's also the Emperor's birthday banquet. Even though it's an evening affair, all the court officials and their families have to enter the palace in the afternoon.'
「The sun rose in the east, full of life and vigor.」
The General's Residence welcomed a new day. Xiang Minghou had taken the day off and was waiting in the main hall early in the morning.
No one from the Gu, Zhan, or Qian families had slept a wink. They too had arrived at the main hall early.
