The next day, Ye Zao woke up at the same time as usual.
Just after breakfast, she sighed at how the morning meal was as sumptuous as ever when Hu Po came in and said, "Miss Ye, auspicious greetings, Lady Li (Main Wife) has sent a message. She wants all the ladies in the back yard to go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion for a talk."
Ye Zao nodded in acknowledgment, thinking to herself, here it comes.
This must be about meeting Sister Jiang, right?
"Come, help me get dressed," said Ye Zao.
Ah Yuan and Ah Ling came over and asked, "How would you like to dress today, Miss?"
"Just the usual, nothing too understated. I can't pretend forever," Ye Zao declared. She still had to maintain the dignity that was expected of her.
After all, she was currently Fourth Master's most beloved woman, and purposely being understated would only make her seem affected and tiresome to others.
