After Jingrui escorted Zhu Yan back to the palace for triple morning visits following their marriage, Jingrui entered the Imperial Palace to meet the emperor, spending a whole day there before returning.
Shangguan Xuanyi, Jingrui, Zhao Youwei and Di Shaowei walked out of the palace together, discussing the situation in the southern border as they walked.
For the past two years, the tax income from Dongguang had decreased significantly. The emperor doubted the reports, thus he arranged for Jingrui to go to the southern border to investigate the true situation.
At the palace gate, Xiao Fuzi greeted Shangguan Xuanyi and Jingrui, saluted them, and then told Shangguan Xuanyi, "Master, the princess says she's going to dine at the Marquis Shengping Mansion and invites you to join her."
Shangguan Xuanyi nodded to show he understood.
