That night, the Fourth Master stayed in Ru Daying's chambers.
After returning to the palace, aside from visiting Ye Zao at Jinyu Pavilion, Fourth Master had gone to a second place.
The first was Jin Pin's Jianfu Palace, which he visited twice, both times attended by Jin Pin herself.
This time it was the side hall of Chuxiu Palace where Ru Daying resided.
The side hall of a side hall was where Ru Daying lived, yet entering Chuxiu Palace, Consort Song always knew of it.
Consort Song hadn't seen the Fourth Master privately in a long time. Hearing that he had arrived, she was so excited that she wished she could dress herself anew, but there was not enough time.
When Fourth Master entered, Consort Song had to receive him, and so did Ru Daying.
"Your concubine pays respect to Your Majesty, may His Majesty be auspicious," Consort Song said, holding back her excitement, bowing her head.
