Not long after everyone had settled down in North Garden, Yuan Xin rushed over to the place.
"Mother, what are you doing in the Palace?" Hexin stood up immediately with astonishment when she saw her mother.
"Aunt Xin." Yaoyao was surprised as well.
Yuan Xin had come over in a hurry. After she had regained her composure, she smiled and tugged on Yaoyao's hand to say, "I heard you're returning to Great Shang tomorrow. It pains me to see you leave, so I asked for His Majesty to let me into the Palace to chat with all of you." Her gaze swept around the area as she spoke and she frowned when she did not spot Long Yin. She asked, "Where is Yin'er, by the way? Why don't I see him?"
"Big Brother is taking his bath. Have a seat first, Aunt Xin," Yaoyao said and quickly got Ling'er to serve tea.
Yuan Xin had gone to the Palace at Beitang You's request. She had entered the Palace only after the Palace banquet had ended.
"Alright," she answered naturally.
