An hour later, Jiang Shaohua emerged from Jingyang Palace and proceeded to Ning An Palace.
Li Fangfei was not well-received at Jingyang Palace, but at Ning An Palace, things were quite different. Empress Dowager Li regarded her niece with warmth and affection, and proactively inquired, "How have you been adjusting to your duties in the palace these past few days?"
Li Fangfei responded respectfully, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, I have been learning my duties from Lu Sheren and Wang Sheren during the day, and lodging together at night. Everything concerning our clothing, food, and lodging is well arranged. However, I am somewhat more slow-witted than Lu Sheren and Wang Sheren, and I am learning my duties at a slower pace."
Empress Dowager Li chuckled, "In taking up duties, the first priority is loyalty, and the second is still loyalty. As long as you wholeheartedly consider the Emperor's wishes and follow his orders in all matters, your tasks will naturally not go astray."
