Minister Feng Zheng was in charge of this matter, and jointly Reduced 75 officials, envoys and clerks in Hebei.

In the Nanqing Palace, Defang was practicing boxing by himself in the martial arts room. Jiajun stood beside him still expressionless, and Baili leaned against the door and began to feel drowsy again. Winking at Ke'er, Ke'er walked to Baili's side and stretched out his hand to pinch his nose, "You dozed off again."

Baili touched his nose and rubbed his eyes, "Ker, I didn't doze off, I watched the prince practice boxing."

"Close your eyes and watch, all the empresses are here."

"See your mother!" Baili hurriedly saluted, and Defang also came over, "Madam, why don't you lie down for a while?"

"It's almost time, and if you lie down again, you will feel dizzy." Concubine Di looked at Baili, "Baili, is it true that the prince doesn't look good at boxing?"

"It's beautiful, it's very powerful, the prince is the most powerful."

Defang looked at Baili, "Really? What kind of style have I practiced just now, my lord?"

"Which style? No. No. No."

"What? Tongue flashing?" Defang stroked Baili's chin, and then rolled his eyelids, "Oh, my eyelids are so heavy, I can barely lift them."

Concubine Di smiled, "Stop teasing Baili."

"I don't have time to tease him, Keer, take good care of Baili, and sleep with eyes closed all day long."

"Prince" Concubine Di pulled Defang, "There are more than [-] people in Bailidu. They stand with you for so long all day long, and every few days they have to watch the night outside the room by themselves. Please be sympathetic."

"Why don't I sympathize with him, how many times have I told him to let Xiaopeng come, what about him?" Defang nodded Baili's head, "just like the wind in his ears, and it will pass as soon as it blows."

Concubine Di pulled Defang's hand, "Don't touch Baili's head, Baili, go to sleep."

Baili looked at Defang, "My lord, the little one is not sleepy."

"Okay." Defang smiled, "It's worth the night, go to sleep and call Xiaopeng."

Baili straightened his waist, "Small ones are really not sleepy"

"Be brave, but then get sleepy for a while and kowtow again, how can the lonely king make peace." Defang looked at Ke'er, "That. I can't explain it, huh, huh, huh."

Ke'er touches Baili, "Sleep as soon as the lord and empress tell you, how can you serve the lord when you're so sleepy."

"That's right," Defang said, "Don't listen to the lonely king and the empress, but to your little sister."

Baili smiled and touched his head, then turned to call Xiaopeng.

"My lord, let's drink tea in the flower hall and take a rest."

"Okay, take a rest, Jiajun, you also have a rest, and practice again in the afternoon."
