"Alright, alright, let's go down," Prince Fu said, his hands clutching his belly as he began to descend the city wall.
Below the city gatehouse, a palanquin awaited, accompanied by dozens of guards. It was said that Prince Fu was accustomed to using a palanquin, even within his own mansion. Generally, high-ranking individuals commonly used sedans within the palace due to its vast size. Prince Fu, however, was simply too fat and disliked walking.
After Prince Fu settled into the palanquin, the newly appointed Prefect of Mianzhou stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, perhaps you would consider staying at my humble villa tonight?"
"No, I will stay at the government office. The Imperial Court's regulations must not be disregarded."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"There is no need for you esteemed officials to see me off. Please return and rest early."
The newly appointed civil and military officials of Mianzhou City collectively bowed to the palanquin.
