For the last seven days Xiao Jun had disappeared again. Leaving Qianru all alone in her courtyard, but even so, it didn't bother her like the last time.
Xiao Jun actually told her where he would go, moreover for the fact that he would come back tomorrow to bring Qianru along for the court as his promised, kept her slightly better.
On the night before the court, she was expecting Xiao Jun to return, she had been waiting in front of her chamber and asked Jinse if there was any news about his arrival, but seemingly Qianru would only meet him tomorrow.
In these last days, she did nothing except reading a book or two and roamed around her courtyard mindlessly.
Ji Yunshu didn't pursue her about her gift, based on her character, she would want to keep that fact a secret.
However, apparently some issues aroused in the palace and kept the crown prince, Mo Qin Yi, busy. It was about the frozen river.
