"Daebi-Mama, what's the apricot scrub for, today?" Soojin's maidservant asks, handing her a thick viscous mix of apricot grits and vanilla extract, as a cleanse.
She lets out a delightful squeal, bringing it closer to her nostrils, relishing the aroma.
Soojin rests her back against the tiles of the Royal Bath, rubbing the grainy mix between the palms of her hands and bringing it over to her neck, to scrub.
The maidservant joins in, rubbing the mix over her bare back.
"It's an exfoliator. It'll help abrade the dry skin, replacing it with a softer coverage." Soojin responds.
The helper hums along as Soojin feels over her freshly cleaned skin, letting out a content hum.
She was going to be meeting Ah Ma today.
To master the art of 'baby-making'.
Ah Ma had nursed Yun Ki when The Late Queen fell ill.
Word is, Ah Ma's milk is what rendered Yun Ki strength as a freshly awoken baby.
