After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Ye Zao stretched and yawned, "I'm getting lazier." These days were too comfortable, it was making her more tempted to indulge in laziness.
She rubbed her face, thought about what the Fourth Master had promised yesterday, and cheerfully said, "Let's go, we're going to pick flowers to make peach blossom cakes for Master tonight."
A few maids replied with a yes, and Ye Zao then ordered, "Take Hua Sheng with you."
Ah Ling and Hu Po took Hua Sheng with them to the garden.
There were peach blossoms near Jinyu Pavilion, although not many, so Ye Zao led her group to where there were more.
On the other side of Half-Fan Lake, close to where Lady Li's courtyard was situated, there was a blossoming peach grove.
It was the perfect time for picking, and just half a basket would be enough.
Meanwhile, Lady Chang had gone to Fujin early in the morning, "Servant pays her respects to Fujin. May Master Fujin be auspicious."
