The Second Prince quickly finished his dinner.
Usually, after the meal, he would stay in the main room and chat with Lin Wanyi for a while before leaving.
But today, as soon as the Emperor put down his chopsticks, he immediately said,
"Your son has to return to practice calligraphy, so I shall take my leave now. Please forgive me, Father."
"Hmm, diligence is a good thing. You have much to catch up on in your studies, so focus more on them."
"Yes, I shall remember, Father."
Then he turned to Lin Wanyi and said, "Lady Lin, your son bids farewell."
Lin Wanyi nodded and gave a few more instructions before letting the Second Prince leave.
The Second Princess and the servants left along with him.
As a result, the room returned to a situation where the two were alone together.
Not to mention the Second Prince, even Lin Wanyi felt a bit uncomfortable.
Used to being alone, suddenly having an Emperor around felt somewhat disruptive.
