At night, Zheng Liang went to his study to read some important documents that needed his signatures for tomorrow's royal court session. Meanwhile, Yang Ning took a refreshing bath after having a light nourishing chicken soup with some veggies for dinner and sat in front of the huge wooden vanity table, where Xiaowei helped comb and braid her long black hair before retiring for the night.
Yang Ning adorned a custom-tailored silk white nightgown, meticulously crafted by a skilled seamstress at her request. Unlike conventional nightdresses of this era, which cover the person from head to toe, even in the summers, constraining movement even during sleep, she preferred a more contemporary design. Her creation featured a strap gown beneath, complemented by a silk upper gown elegantly draped by a ribbon around her body.
