Chu Qingmeng gave a soft acknowledgment and stood up to get ready to leave. Before heading out, she still playfully and cheerfully planted a kiss on Mo Liujin's cheek. "Remember to wait for me after court."
Mo Liujin was suddenly in an exceptionally good mood. He began to wash up and change into his court attire, getting ready to leave.
Heading into the palace in a sedan chair was much slower than taking a carriage, so Chu Qingmeng deliberately set off half an hour earlier than the court officials, figuring she would arrive early. Civil officials entered the palace in sedan chairs, dismounting at the second palace gate to walk the rest of the way, while military generals rode horses up to the first palace gate, dismounting to walk from there. Each group waited in the Nine Ministers' Rooms on either side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
