Si Ning quickly descended the steps and noticed that those that accompanied him to the palace also kowtowed, he doesn't think they should also be in that position because none of them could stop the Queen Dowager so he walked up to his palanquin. "Up." he said feeling it was unnecessary for him to stress the meaning of his words out.
Dinner was good, Si Ning had a great time with the Emperor but a certain someone had to ruin his night for him even though he was satisfied with how things ended yet he could say and was well aware that he wasn't in a great mood so he knew he was going to get annoyed if none of the people that accompanied him stand up.
