Qu Tong raised her hand to check, and indeed, the Light Brain had run out of power, smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry to have worried you, Uncle Chi."
"Madam, please don't say that, let's hurry inside, the heating is turned on in the house." Butler Chi held an umbrella over Qu Tong to shield her from the snow.
Qu Tong didn't like people getting too close and took the umbrella herself.
Once inside, Butler Chi first warmed up a cup of ginger tea that he had prepared in advance for Qu Tong.
Qu Tong wasn't very fond of it, but Butler Chi earnestly advised, "Madam, even a little would do, to chase away the chill."
Qu Tong then drank about half a cup.
Seeing that his lady had drunk some, Butler Chi's eyes crinkled with a smile, "By the way, madam, the Empress Dowager had someone send over some clothes today, and she asked if you were free to join her at the Imperial Palace for afternoon tea tomorrow."
"Sure."
