Yang Ye raised an eyebrow and patted Tongsan Lang on the shoulder, "You'll need to put in more effort."
Tongsan Lang did not pick up on his cue, instead saying, "Let's head to the study, His Majesty should have already sent the information from all around."
In order to obtain the Divine Liquid sooner, construction on the canal had to start the following year, and now they needed to do more preparation work.
Yang Ye hummed in acknowledgment and followed Tongsan Lang to the study.
By evening, Qiao Xiaomai and Bei Lingsu finally returned with Yang Zheng.
Bei Lingsu completely indulged her craving for sledding in the snow, her face unable to contain her ceaseless smile.
Dinner was ready, and several people dined at the Qiao Residence. With Bei Lingsu there, there was no need to have someone test the food for poison, so Yang Ye and Yang Zheng ate with ease and good cheer—eating food tested by others was essentially like eating leftovers.
