"Your Highness, we've arrived!"

While Li Heng was in a daze, the voice of the driver suddenly rose from outside the carriage. With a faint smile, Li Heng quickly came back to his senses.

"Let's go! We'll first head to Gold Brocade Row. I've always felt like the clothes in the palace are too extravagant and don't match you, so this time, I've invited the best seamstress of the Great Tang to take your measurements and make clothes for you."

As he spoke, Li Heng embraced Du Zhiqi, causing her to yelp in alarm. He opened the door and got off the carriage.

Dusk was settling in over the capital of the Great Tang, but Gold Brocade Row, the greatest silk business in the capital, was brightly lit. The managers of the shop were refusing most guests at the door and taking in only a few select customers.

From dusk to dawn, Li Heng brought Du Zhiqi around the capital, to the tea market of Heaven Street, Shou-an Archway, All-Peace Bridge, the Temple of Burning Lanterns… At daybreak, Li Heng's carriage mixed in with the carriages of the other accompanying students and entered the palace, returning to his own residence.

"Qi-er, I'm a little tired. In a little while, I'll go and pay respects to Teacher. I'll probably be back a little late, so you go and rest first. If you wake up and I still haven't returned, just play around for a while here. I've already ordered that you have complete freedom in this estate, but you absolutely cannot enter my study," Li Heng said.

"It's fine. No matter how late it is, I'll wait for you," Du Zhiqi said gently. "Besides, you're also tired. I'll go and prepare a few fruits for you. When you go and pay respects to your teacher, you can eat them on the way."

"Mm."

Li Heng nodded, his heart warm and his eyes gentle. By meeting such an understanding partner, Li Heng felt like his life had been fulfilled.

Li Heng quickly left with Du Zhiqi's fruits, leaving Du Zhiqi alone in the residence with the palace maids.
