The Playground That She Yearned For

  By the time Su Ying returned to the palace, the sky had already darkened.

 Aunt Zhao was now in charge of many matters in the Imperial harem's quarters. She did not even have time to take care of the two little ones. There were not many masters in the Imperial harem's quarters, but there were many people in various departments. It was a big undertaking to manage them.

 When Su Ying returned to the Conjugal Phoenix Palace, Aunt Zhao was already waiting in the side hall.

 "Your Imperial Highness has returned."

 "Aunt Zhao, do rise. Did you come here specially to wait for me?" Su Ying asked as she glanced at the booklet in Aunt Zhao's hands.

 "Yes, your old servant has something to report to you, Your Imperial Highness."

 Su Ying sat down on a chair and gestured for her to speak.

 "This is last month's expenditure of the Imperial Palace. I have brought it here for your perusal, Your Imperial Highness."
