The Ruler Didn’t Attend Morning Court

Under the shade of a tree, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan looked at each other. All they saw in each other's eyes was helplessness.

Xin Zhe landed beside them with a soft thud and asked, "Her Majesty hasn't come out yet?"

They shook their heads.

"If Her Majesty comes out, tell her that Great Elder is seeking an audience!" Xin Zhe said faintly before turning her head toward the palace. At present, everyone was standing outside the courtyard. Only the upper half of the palace could be seen over the wall.

If they listened carefully, they could hear soft voices coming from inside.

It had been three days. Both of them had already stayed in these quarters for three days. They didn't know that consummating their marriage would take so long!

Xin Zhe began to grow curious about what they were doing inside.

"We delivered food to the room for the last two days, but none of it has been touched!" Qing Yuan muttered.
