In the evening, Song Wei finished the Lower Court session, and, as expected, Zhao Xi had arranged for Eunuch Sanbao to receive him.
Song Wei intended to return home and change out of his official uniform, but, fearing it might delay Zhao Xi, he opted to get on the carriage directly and arrive at the Moonlight Pavilion.
Zhao Xi and Song Yuanbao were already waiting inside.
When Song Wei entered the elegant room, the two were whispering about something.
Hearing the stir, Zhao Xi looked up, smiled, and greeted him, then gestured to the seat beside him, "Minister Song, please sit."
Song Wei swept aside his robes and sat down.
Zhao Xi immediately instructed Eunuch Sanbao to order the dishes and specifically called for a good pot of wine.
Song Wei asked him, "After overturning the case, have you gone to see the Emperor?"
Zhao Xi nodded, "I have."
Song Wei was concerned that Emperor Guangxi might take his anger out on him, so he asked, "What did the Emperor say?"
