A change of topic was definitely appreciated. Everyone soon relaxed again, the two boys still playing on the floor. Eventually, the Sixth Princess was ready to go back to her nanny and her mother decided it was time for them to leave so the princess could rest.
"It does seem to be getting late," Meili remarked after the consort and entourage had left. "We don't want to keep you as I'm sure that you'd like to rest up."
"Agreed," WuXian said. "We should also help with preparing for the tournament."
"Of course," the Emperor said. "Then we will not keep you."
And after bidding the royal family goodbye, they'd be able to leave... and A-Yuan specifically added an additional goodbye to his new friend.
