After leaving Xinhe Palace, Xi Ying left the Imperial Palace and went to Xi Manor.
When Li Rui came to know Zhao Zhang Wei, she was surprised but she was also relieved. Her opinion regarding Zhao Zhang Wei changed a little bit.
As they sat in the dining room having lunch, Xi Ying asked his son what all he read and learned today. Xi Ling was sitting in his lap as he ate and in between told his father everything whenever his father was serving this or that on his mother's plate.
