When they arrived in Tianjin, it was indeed late.
Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince settled into the temporary palace, and Fourth Master along with the other princes took their families to stay in the ministers' villas or gardens.
Fortunately, it was only for one night, and they would set off for the south early the next morning.
When Fourth Master returned, he exchanged only a few words with Ye Zao before admitting, "Master is tired today, exhausted. Are you tired?"
Ye Zao blinked. Frankly, she wasn't tired, but seeing Fourth Master like this... she supposed she was tired too.
"Then let's wash up and sleep," Ye Zao said.
Fourth Master smiled, "Look at you, not tired at all. Do you want to play by yourself while Master sleeps first?" he asked.
It somewhat resembled the feeling of a boyfriend exhausted from a day's work coaxing his little girlfriend.
