Heavy rain fell on the plains of the Gao palace valley. Lightning flashed here and there in the completely gray sky. Rain accompanied by strong winds caressed the trees effortlessly and made many puddles around the valley and palace. The extreme weather in the Hua plains reached its peak towards the end of autumn that year.
But it didn't take long for the rain to stop and leave drizzles felt on the surface of the broad leaves, that slowly dripped down to the surface of the pond in the backyard of the Peony pavilion. Koi fish of various colors from small to large enjoyed the rain happily and kept swimming around on the surface. Even some small froggy to cricket join the party.
Hong scrunched his face, another boring day and it was raining. He had no chance to go to the meadow to collect flowers as previously planned which leave him to think hard again about the gift he should give his brother Yang when he is back from the Emperor's palace.
