"I'm fine." The little stoic calmly shook her head. Seeing that he had yet to change from his court dress, she knew that he must've run over right after leaving the grand first writing ceremony.
As a matter of fact, that was indeed what happened.
The State Duke of Qing had also hurried over after receiving the news only when the ceremony ended.
On the other hand, the crown prince had still gone to speak with the king in the royal study. It was only after leaving the royal study that he was informed that his darling was pitted against the State Duke of Qing's third son at Huabei Gate.
In no mind to care about changing his clothes anymore, he rushed over, worried that his pampered wife would be at a disadvantage.
"Your Highness, please pardon this offense." The State Duke of Qing and the General of Military Might hastily bowed again to beg for forgiveness.
