He City, Imperial Capital (5)

"Tian'er, I will need to go into the Palace to give my greetings tomorrow." Rong Jian suddenly told her as they walked around the estate.

"Well, that's obvious with all the commotion earlier today. I'm surprised they didn't send a summons already." She responded without surprise. "So, should I accompany you?"

"Do you want to?"

"I don't care. If you think it's better I don't go then I won't. I have my own things to do."

"Well, it's your choice. But many have seen us walking together already so there will probably be questions."

"In other words, it's more convenient if I go too, right? Did you really have to go in such a roundabout way to say it?"

"But I wanted Wifey to know that she didn't need to go, it was merely a choice. I can deal with it even if you decide not to go, albeit with a little bit of difficulty."
