Li Qingyi also came over to bid farewell to Su Xinyi, and she smiled and said, "It was an interesting experience to get to know you in the palace this time. I hope we can go out and have fun together another day. In a few days, spring is coming, and maybe we'll meet again soon."
Su Xinyi had mixed feelings about Li Qingyi. She used to think that her friendly relationship with Noble Consort Li might have ulterior motives, but when she was in Merits Palace, there was no hostility towards her whatsoever, which puzzled her. She remained vigilant, but didn't ignore Li Qingyi's gestures of goodwill.
"Alright, if our schedules coincide, let's go out to enjoy spring together, learning from the refined scholars - you write poems and I'll pour the wine."
Hearing this, everyone laughed, and after their laughter, they each got into their carriages and went home.
