On the sixth day, the mourning attire was removed—everyone truly had to start bowing since midnight.
From the Imperial Ancestral Temple to the front of Fengxian Hall, and then to the residence of the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress.
A whole day had passed.
Returning to Jinyu Pavilion at dusk, Ye Zao felt a pain in her legs. Even just for this one day, they had been kneeling on warm cushions.
She wondered how those who had only thin cushions to kneel on had endured it.
"My Lady, have a bowl of ginger soup first to drive away the chill," Ah Yuan said, supporting Ye Zao.
After Ye Zao drank a bowl, she said, "I'm this exhausted, and His Majesty even went to Jing Mountain, isn't he more tired than me? Tsk, I wonder if His Majesty has eaten supper yet. Tell the Siesta Team to go inquire. If His Majesty asks about me, tell him I have gone to rest. Tonight is not suitable for me to go over."
