After the Little Sami had accommodated Su Pan'er and her entourage in a tranquil Zen Room, he finally bowed and exited.
"Empress, please rest first. Later, this novice will bring vegetarian dishes and clean water for the Empress. If the Empress has any orders, just call this novice, who will be outside."
"Understood, you may leave!"
Su Pan'er waved the Little Sami away, then began to survey the furnishings around her. The Zen Room was simple but fully equipped, containing all the necessary items. Near the window, there was even a tatami mat spread with a straw mat. Several Palace Maids stood to one side, apparently having arrived earlier to clean up the place.
"All of you, leave."
The Palace Maids curtseyed swiftly and silently before exiting the Zen Room. As they left, they considerately closed the door to the Zen Room.
When she was alone, Su Pan'er finally relaxed and rested on the wooden bed for a while.
