After sending a group of Little Eunuchs away, Xiao Zhu Zi brought back breakfast. Since Xiao Xizi was busy with arrangements outside, Xiao Zhu Zi had gone to fetch the meal.
After breakfast and some time had passed, the Honored Ladies gradually started arriving. Being of lower rank, they naturally couldn't expect the other noble ladies to wait for them. Once they arrived, they paid their respects to Xia Ruqing, then took their seats in the hall and chatted in groups of twos and threes.
Xia Ruqing had Zi Yue and the others serve tea and snacks, then she left. There was no need for her to keep company with just a few Honored Ladies.
「In the inner chamber.」
Xia Ruqing sat to one side, keeping Little Bun company.
After Little Bun woke up, his face, hands, and feet were washed as usual. Then, Sister Liang and several wetnurse nannies helped dress him.
