The season gradually ward after the Cherry Blossom Viewing Banquet passed.
One would naturally wish for cold drinks during a hot day.
Yui i was sitting outside on a stone, happily relishing the douhua that i Na gave her.
Douhua was a pudding-like food made from tofu.
Sweetened boiled beans and fruits could be added; one could also pour honey in it. On the other hand, it could also be seasoned to be a spicy side dish. It was a truly versatile dish.
She was currently eating the sweet version of douhua with plenty of honey in it.
So yummy~
Yui i squird as she scooped the pudding-like douhua into her mouth.
It was a great day. The sky was clear as it can be, and on top of that, it was her day-off too.
The douhua tasted more delicious as she slowly savored it.
Yui i was in cloud nine. If one were to ask whether her circumstances changed after the Cherry Blossom Viewing Banquet, no such thing happened.
Even though she suspected that the crown prince already knew her identity, they didnt talk about it.
She also saw Libin from ti to ti, but they only made so small talk, so her days passed peacefully.
Well, peace is still the best, after all.
Yui i didnt have any dissatisfaction in her current life. She was even grateful that they never said a thing.
Thanks to that, she could also enjoy delicious treats just like now.
Hmm, so tasty, so happy!
Yui i felt she was going to lt because of the douhuas luscious taste.
Xiao i, youre eating sothing good, huh.
Aunty Yang called to her, so she hurriedly stood up from the stone.
It was her day-off, so there should be no problem even if she lazed around. Of course, she couldnt slack off in front of her superior, though.
I bet thats from i Na, right? Maybe I should also get so later.
Aunty Yang usually ignored it when Yui i ate manju, but she narrowed her eyes at the douhua; maybe she liked it.
However, she did not co here just to get so douhua from Yui i.
Ahm, is there anything I could help you with?
Yeah. Its fine, finish that first then co to .
She got that reply to her question, but that didnt an she could say Alright and continue taking her ti eating it.
She hurriedly gobbled the douhua.
Ahh, I had wanted to savor it more
She was determined to request i Na to make it again for her next ti. She took her bowl back to the kitchen then returned back here.
Alright, lets go. This way.
Aunty Yang led her through the corridor to a small room where a guest was already waiting.
Eh, Libin?
Yui i was perplexed why he was here. Libin replied.
Im the one who called you here.
Is that so.
Then for what purpose?
Stuff always occurred when she t up with Libin.
Yui i unwittingly beca guarded. Aunty Yang spoke.
His Highness the Crown Prince wanted Xiao i to accompany him as his attendant during his trip, apparently.
Attendant during the trip?
Basically, won of the Inner Palace could not go out.
However, there were exceptions. They could leave the Inner Palace if they were to accompany the emperor or the crown prince.
Of course, that was limited to the won within their vicinity.
A lower-ranking court lady like Yui i, who didnt even serve nearby, normally did not have this kind of luck.
May I ask why?
If its just attendant, then there were plenty of people who could do so within the crown princes palace.
Yui i didnt understand why the crown prince went out of his way to send Libin over just to summon her.
Libin sighed deeply when he saw Yui i being suspicious.
You, normally people would be over the moon at this ti.
Id be troubled if you say it that way.
Yui i did not intend to react in such a weird manner.
It was just that Yui i did not expect this opportunity to land on her lap, and she did not feel suffocated within the Inner Palace, probably because of its sheer size.
A person born in the capital would beg to differ since they did not experience being destitute, but compared to the poverty-stricken rural areas, this lifestyle was already good enough.
Theres no end to the things youll want if you start focusing on it. Besides, theres no convenient stuff like the ones in Japan even if I went out.
Because of that, her desire to leave wasnt that strong.
It was clear to Yui i, but Libin and Aunty Yang found it strange.
What an odd girl.
I totally agree.
Libin wholeheartedly nodded in agreent to Aunty Yangs slightly rude observation.
Im not odd, its just a personal preference!
And so, it was decided that Yui i would accompany the crown prince.
Co after you wear this.
Theres no way they would take her along in a wretched state, so a suitable outfit was handed to her.
Go on, hurry up and change. Dont make the crown prince wait.
She returned to her room and did as she was told.
The clothes were made out of cotton, but it had a stylish design compared to her uniform.
Whoa, isnt it cute?
Even Yui i would also get excited wearing a fashionable outfit.
Yui i changed into the clothes she received, garnering attention from her surroundings as she headed towards the border between the Inner Palace and the Outer Court at the appointed ti.
