On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one preferred to spoil the festive mood.
Regardless of any usual disagreements, they were cast aside as they sipped tea and exchanged pleasantries, and the Phoenix Blessing Palace exuded an air of peace and merriment.
The children quickly grew restless and dashed outside to play.
Jiang Ning felt uneasy.
After all, this was not the East Palace.
Seeing her repeatedly eyeing the outdoors with worry for the children, Huang Ying reassured her, "Chunlai and Xiaoman are with them, and Gucheng as well. Don't worry, Master."
That was a fair point.
Xiaoman was straightforward and strong. She did not hesitate to protect the young Princes from anyone.
In her heart, within this palace, aside from Jiang Ning, even the words of the Crown Prince had no significant weight.
Although Gucheng was formidable, he wasn't what one might call a "typical person". He saw his sole duty as ensuring Jiang Ning's safety.
As for the others, he couldn't care less.
