Madam Lu's courtyard, the Duke's mansion.
Su Loya heard the melodious sound of the traditional eight strings guipin as she got closer to madam Lu's courtyard. The melodious harmony got louder as she walked into the compound at getting closer to the majestic Pavillion madam Lu occupied. Two maps stood outside the entrance of the pavilion, while the other lower-ranked outside servants went about cleaning up the yard.
One of the maids stepped out from her post and came forward to salute Su Liya as she stood at the top of the small wooden step leading to the entrance of the pavilion.
"Good day, Your Highness," the maid said bowing at 30 degrees.
Su Liya smiled and glanced at the entrance of the Pavillion, "please announce my presence".
