The empress woke up from her transcendental state and pondered deeply for two days before returning to her normal self.
"Let's go out of the palace for a walk."
Ren Baqian had just reached the palace when he heard the empress say, "We aren't having lunch in the palace."
"The empress is in a good mood today." Ren Baqian smiled.
"Not really. I'm just feeling a bit bored!" the empress said.
"Your Majesty should go out more often. Traveling 10,000 miles is better than reading 10,000 books!" Ren Baqian added. The ancient emperors in China faced many restrictions when traveling. Preparations had to be made two months in advance while secrecy was needed due to fear of assassination and other dangers.
However, traveling wasn't a problem for the empress because she didn't face restrictions in traveling. Furthermore, she herself was a top-ranked expert.
It was just that most of the time, the empress preferred to hang around in the palace.
