Jian Guozhi closed the account book after scrutinizing it. He put the seal on it and sent it back to the Finance and Accounts department. Eunuch Long brought the tea for Jian Guozhi, who refused to take it. "I will not be here tonight. I will spend the night with Xue. Inform her about this," Jian Guozhi stated.
Eunuch Long was delighted to hear this. "Yes, your highness. I will inform the Princess about this," replied Eunuch Long and left the chamber.
Jian Guozhi wore the overcoat and left for Xue Yu-Yan's chamber. As he walked past the chamber of the Fourth Prince, he sighed and walked ahead. He descended the stairs and went to another building where Xue Yu-Yan was residing.
In the chamber, Xue Yu-Yan was doing the needlework. She had made the plum blossom flower pattern on the fabric. "Princess," Zhiyi came inside, carrying a delightful expression on her face. Xue Yu-Yan lifted her head and looked at her.
