Li Ji left Prince Anshun Mansion with the portrait and the contract. He then rode to Prince Zheng Mansion.
There, he met with Li Qi.
The two of them spoke privately for a long time.
By the time he came out of the Prince Zheng Mansion, the sun was already beginning to set.
Chen Wangbei asked respectfully, "Are we returning to the Regent Prince Mansion?"
Li Ji gazed at a distant corner of the palace walls, remaining silent for a long while before finally responding.
"Yes."
When he returned home, Li Xun was also back from school.
Hua Manman was asking him how his day at school went.
"Did you get along with your classmates?"
Li Xun recalled the day's events at the Imperial College.
'Those classmates were scared to death of me. All it took was a single look, and someone would volunteer to copy my homework for me.'
So, he answered obediently, "My classmates are all very easy to get along with."
Hua Manman asked again, "Did you make your teachers angry?"
