Compared to the chaos at the Duke Zhenguo's Manor, the Palace was much calmer. What happened in the governor's manor and the Duke Zhenguo's Manor did not affect the heavily guarded Palace in the slightest.
In the morning, the Fifth Princess of Changping Palace clutched her slightly dizzy head and got up with the help of her palace maids. She stretched lazily, and after she was done washing up, the maid in charge, Huanyue, helped her to rub her hair dry with a dry towel.
The weather outside was very good. Soft couches filled with cotton were laid out at the southeastern corner of the garden in the palace. The sunlight there was good. There were two tall, marble screens that were placed on the northern and western side to block out the wind. It was already near noontime. The sun shone warmly from above. The Fifth Princess leaned against the couch and chatted with Huanyue.
