For the matter of being away for two or three months, unable to cultivate affection with Yan Qing, Ling Hua also felt helpless.
She could only comfort the Empress Dowager, "I will definitely return before the new year, and every seven or eight days, I will write a letter back. Correspondence can also enhance our feelings."
Having no other choice, the Empress Dowager acquiesced. After all, Ling Hua wasn't going out for leisure but for official business. She instructed, "If you can find the time, make sure to write frequently. Don't repeat what happened last time, leaving for one or two months without sending a single letter."
Ling Hua nodded, "Great Grandmother, rest assured, I will definitely remember this time."
