The tenderness of the night vanished in the blink of an eye. At the first light of dawn, Bai Wutong rose early. She carefully groomed herself, personally adjusted Zhang Chengyan’s court attire, and saw him off to the morning assembly. Once his figure disappeared from the doorway, she set off for Fengyi Palace, surrounded by a throng of palace maids and carrying herself with immense grace.
By now, Fengyi Palace had been completely transformed. The servants had been busy for quite some time, scrubbing the place until it was spotless and every corner shone like new. Furthermore, the furnishings had been rearranged, and many precious items that were originally in Zhaochun Hall had been moved here. The familiar scent made Bai Wutong feel deeply at home. After a quick inspection, she was very satisfied.
This palace was undoubtedly the most magnificent and spacious in the entire inner court. Compared to her old residence at Zhaochun Hall, Fengyi Palace felt grander and more majestic, with its intricately arranged pavilions and courtyards filled with lush flowers that made it feel like spring all year round. From this day forward, this would be her residence as she governed the inner court and stood as the mother of the nation!
