Sleeping until the next morning, Chu Qingmeng realized Mo Liujin was not by her side. She originally thought he had gone to court for the early morning session, but while she was dressing, Mo Liujin returned. With a smile on his face, he took the eyebrow pencil from Chunhe's hand and began to draw her eyebrows. "Why did you wake up so early today? It's only the Mao hour."
"Hmm~ It's nothing. I just felt a bit lighter and wanted to walk around the courtyard." Chu Qingmeng raised her head, letting him draw her eyebrows. "You shouldn't have finished morning court at this hour, right? Did you stay out all night and not come back?"
"Yes. The Emperor summoned me urgently last night, and I just got back." He put down the eyebrow pencil, turned Chu Qingmeng's body around, and had her look in the bronze mirror. Chu Qingmeng smiled and told him to go get some sleep, but he refused. "I won't sleep. I see your complexion has improved a lot today, so I'll accompany you for a walk. It's been many years since we've been as free and happy as we were in Zhu County."
