Ye Zao had played by the riverbank for quite a while, and eventually, Ah Ling was holding a small flower wrapped in reed leaves, still attached to a clump of mud.
Yu Rui was holding several smooth pebbles.
Ye Zao herself was clutching a stack of neat reed leaves, planning to take them back to the Imperial Kitchen for making rice dumplings.
Not just the leaves used for dumplings could be wrapped, such large reed leaves could be used as well.
She had just walked back to the camp when she saw a procession of people coming towards them.
Just by the number of people, one should know who it was, and hurriedly, Ye Zao knelt down with her group at the side of the road.
As expected, the procession soon became visible.
Ye Zao could not initiate a greeting and could only step aside.
Given her status, upon encountering the Imperial Carriage, she had to make way.
