Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager had arrived, the maid was shocked and looked anxiously towards the tall pavilion.
Hua Yan leaned on the railing and gazed downward, her voice scattering in the wind, diminishing as it hit the ground, "Maid, you take some people and quickly go to welcome the Empress Dowager's carriage! I can't come down for now, so I won't go. Qiuyue will stay with me."
Upon hearing this, the maid thought that the Empress Dowager was arriving, and one must go to receive her; so, she hurriedly looked towards Qiuyue.
Qiuyue was in a distant pavilion, the weeping willows hiding most of her figure. She poked her head out and glanced at the tall pavilion, finally understanding the scene her mistress had staged today—it was for the Empress Dowager. From afar, she nodded to the maid, her voice also drifting in the wind, "Maid, quickly take some people to go. I'll watch over the mistress."
