To Hanjian?

Li Chenyang was in a glum mood when he exited the carriage after his father. This morning, he had promised to see Xueyue but couldn't find the time to do so before he was whisked away to the Palace. He let out a tired sigh, weighed down by the duties he had today. The battle was nearly finished. The person who could put an end to the arguments would be none other than...

"Chen-ge!" Li Xueyue cheerfully called out upon spotting him entering the house. Her eyes lit up at the sight of him as she rushed to greet him.

Li Chenyang's smile came out in a bittersweet grimace. Leave it to her to come out in such an opportune moment. He patted her on the cheek. 

"You suddenly seem so eager to see me recently," Li Chenyang pointed out. "Is it that boring in the house?"

"Hm? Not really, I was occupied with writing letters in response to Yu Zhen's. Aren't I usually this energetic?" Li Xueyue asked with a tilt of her head.

"Father," she addressed with a smile.
