The couple, in the literal sense of the term, didn't get out of bed until well after the sun was three poles high the next day. They ate breakfast and lunch together, then strolled off to enjoy the scenery at Ancient Tomb Mountain, arriving just as evening fell.
Hmm, Zhao Changhe had indeed timed it so that Yue Hongling could watch the sunset at that hour, of that he was certain.
The Spirit Clan members had already busily started building dwellings nearby, choosing a site next to the smooth plateau by the stream. It was a beehive of activity, with people chopping wood and raising houses. When Zhao Changhe arrived, he found the houses were almost halfway built, the efficiency was extremely high.
After all, he was now an Emperor, and it would be only natural if he had desires for luxury, even for a palace. Sisi knew his mind, and without launching into a grand construction project, she had simply arranged for a small courtyard, hence the efficiency.
