On the last day of the trade conference, which is also the day of the parade ceremony, before dawn, Zhao Yao was shaken awake from his dreams by Tong Xi.
The parade ceremony starts during the hour of Si, but before it begins, Zhao Yao still has to attend morning court.
The usual morning court starts at the hour of Chen, but because there's a parade today, it has been moved up to the fourth quarter of the hour of Mao.
Zhao Yao originally didn't want to attend the court today, but the ministers thought that holding the parade ceremony was very important, and it was necessary to have court before the parade began.
Regarding attending court, Zhao Yao was somewhat reluctant, but he couldn't avoid it.
Zhao Yao donned the prince's formal attire and went next door to the dining hall for breakfast, unexpectedly finding Uncle Gao and He Lianfang there.
"Second Uncle, Uncle Gao, you don't have to attend the morning court, why are you up so early?"
