The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clothes for Ye Zao were delivered from the sewing room.
After all, one could not possibly only have one set of clothes for the festival day; there would always be a need to change.
That night, Fourth Master stayed in Fujin's quarters, planning not to spend the night the next evening since he had to enter the palace, so it was right to stay over in advance.
Now, the rules of reuniting on the first and the fifteenth of the lunar month had been restored in Fujin's residence, and Fourth Master still adhered to them when there wasn't anything significant happening.
Early the next morning, Fourth Master went to the palace with Fujin, Consort Fujin, and the two children to pay their respects to Consort De.
Lady Li had changed into a bright orange set of traditional Manchu clothing early in the morning, carefully dressing up and leading the two children, waiting outside in the main courtyard early on.
