After the coronation ceremony, there was basically nothing else to do. However, Xiao Jin had to go to the Imperial study to take over the state affairs, while Su Ying had to return to the back palace to take over the affairs of the Imperial harem's quarters.
After returning to the Conjugal Phoenix Palace where the Empress stayed, Su Ying hurriedly asked Aunt Zhao to remove her phoenix robe and change into a looser set of casual clothes.
Aunt Zhao took the bird's nest porridge from Bai Shuang's hands and brought it in. "Your Imperial Highness, eat something and then have a rest."
Su Ying opened the porcelain bowl and finished it in one go.
"Is Your Imperial Highness hungry?"
"I'm hungry. I haven't eaten lunch yet."
Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "I just knew that Your Imperial Highness must be hungry. I've already asked Bai Shuang to bring some food from the Imperial kitchen. Your Imperial Highness will be able to have something to eat soon."
