After eating the cake, everyone went to the prefecture to see the lanterns, except for uncle Gu, Madam Zhang, and little ninja.
Even yang xiaohuan went along with them. She liked the crowd.
The Emperor did not go with them. They separated at the entrance of the village. He had already passed the Qing Prefecture and would not go back. He continued to follow the original route and could not leave the palace for too long.
When he left this time, he brought two pots of orchids with him from the Gu family. This was what his Royal grandmother, who was the current Grand Empress Dowager, liked.
He had brought 50 sets of toiletries with all kinds of smells. Gu Nian only charged him two taels each instead of ten taels.
