Tonight, two individuals from Yutang Palace are out enjoying the lanterns—Yuanbao and Zhao Xi.
To be exact, it was Yuanbao who coaxed Zhao Xi to come out.
The reason was quite straightforward—the palace and the outside were celebrating, but the Minister's Mansion had just had a recent bereavement. Whether out of guilt towards Chief Xue or from the standpoint of a fiancé, Zhao Xi ought to pay a visit to the Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Xi couldn't refute this reason, so he left the palace after dinner.
Initially, they planned to follow Yuanbao's suggestion of taking the final lantern to the Minister's Mansion. However, they arrived late, and the final lantern had already been won by someone else.
After Yuanbao inquired around, he learned the person who took the lantern was his father, feeling slightly apologetic, he looked at Zhao Xi, "Well, how about we don't take the final lantern but buy a pretty one instead, what do you think, Your Highness?"
"I don't think so."
