"As expected of Ah Mei! You went and hide yourself here! Good! Good! Very good! That's my sidekick for you!"
The empress praised Tang Mei with three 'good' while crawling on all fours.
Tang Mei have this look like she just died inside. She looked up at the sky and start contemplating about life.
The empress left her to watch the Imperial Noble Consort. Tang Mei didn't want to confront the consort alone if the latter accidentally spots her. She then proceeds to hide herself on the bushes where she could have a clear view of the Luminous pavilion.
Before she could freeze senseless and went numb from squatting down, the empress came back. She actually came back with the emperor! Knowing that the noble consort is just around a few steps away! Since when did the empress learn to seek this kind of trouble?!
And then, with who knows what kind of spiritual power, the Empress actually spot her! Their eyes connected, the world slowed down and the empress went 'ah' before grinning widely.
