Eun Ae entered the big yard of the palace as the guards opened the main gate for her.
She walked straight to the main door of the palace, passing a lot of plants and the water fountain in front of the palace.
She knocked on the chamber of the queen while the queen was reading a book in the daylight-brightening room. "Come in!" she shouted.
Then she opened the door gently and stopped right there so the queen could see her.
"Eun Ae, come on, come on!" She put the book away as soon as she saw her and stood up.
Eun Ae bowed politely with a cheery smile, and her feet moved forward toward her without any hesitation.
"Aunty asked me to give this." She delivered the message by handing her a lunch box.
The queen tapped the bed once and asked her, "Sit here."
She hesitantly placed her buttocks on the bed next to the queen.
The Queen asked her a favor: "Can you come and cook rice buns for our second prince's birthday?"
