"Please forgive us for making Your Highness laugh." Wang Shouzhe clasped his hands with embarrassment. "Our Majesty really is..."
"No matter, no matter." Chaoyang King waved her hand with easy grace and smiled. "Longchang has truly become more and more shameless, like some old child. But that is good too. If he takes things more lightly, perhaps he can live a few more years."
"Your Highness, King Consort, this way, please." Wang Shouzhe invited them into Immortal Abiding Residence, introducing it as they walked. "Immortal Abiding Residence sits at the eye of our Wang Clan's Spirit-Gathering Grand Array, where spiritual energy is exceptionally abundant.

Please rest briefly in the courtyard and have some spiritual tea. I will have the women of the household tidy up Immortal Abiding Residence first."
