I had another dream~
Li Baobei lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling above her head, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.
She sighed softly, as if trying to release all the pent-up frustration in her heart, but felt utterly powerless.
In the end, she had no choice but to get out of bed.
She walked lightly to the window and carefully pushed it open.
The sunlight streaming through the window shone on her, bringing a touch of warmth, but mostly a feeling of heat.
She looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was still high in the sky, shining brightly.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people coming and going, with noise filling the air.
It was already late afternoon.
Time flies! She couldn't help but sigh to herself.
Just then, a crisp knocking sound rang out.
Li Baobei was puzzled and asked softly, "Who?"
A gentle, soft voice came from outside the door: "Miss, are you awake? The master instructed me to bring you some food if you are awake."
Upon hearing this, Li Baobei suddenly realized what was going on.
So it was someone arranged by Dongfang! Only then did she realize that she was starving, and her stomach began to rumble.
So she quickly replied, "Okay, please come in."
"Hmm." The woman outside the door responded, then gently pushed open the door and came in. A moment later, several maids appeared in front of Li Baobei, carrying plates of delicate and light snacks.
These snacks look delicious and smell wonderful, making your mouth water.
Li Baobei couldn't help but swallow, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Tianxianglou
This magnificent building, located in the capital of Yi Kingdom, is the grandest restaurant in the city.
As one of He You's businesses, it secretly observes the occurrence and flow of countless events in the Yi Kingdom.
At this moment, He You was sitting by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
Standing to the side was Anji, whose expression was solemn, who was reporting the recent situation to him: "Master, there has been no unusual activity in Yi Kingdom recently."
Hearing this, He You's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, and he said, "Is that so? Perhaps..."
After saying that, he slowly picked up the fragrant tea on the table and took a sip.
He You, who originally planned to go to the South China Sea again, changed his itinerary midway and ended up in Yi Kingdom.
According to information obtained in secret, the Yi Kingdom appears calm on the surface, but in reality, turbulent events are brewing, and a storm is about to break out.
To avoid being caught in the crossfire in the south, He You, who originally intended to head south, decided to stay here for a while and observe the situation.
As long as the safety of the Southern Kingdom can be ensured, even if the internal situation of the Yi Kingdom changes drastically, or even if it triggers a bloody storm, He You has no intention of interfering.
After all, Nan Nan has always abhorred matters of killing and violence.
He You slowly turned her head and looked at the open window.
The scenery outside the window unfolded before him like a lively painting, but his gaze seemed to penetrate the glass, focusing on a distant place.
Sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting a faint glow that illuminated a corner of the room and reflected on He You's slightly pale face.
He gazed silently into the distance, his brows slightly furrowed, as if his mind was occupied by some thoughts.
Time passed second by second, but He You remained motionless, still looking out the window.
His lips were tightly closed, and not a sound came out, as if the whole world consisted only of him and the landscape that appeared endlessly silent amidst the bustling activity.
Nan Nan, I miss you so much...

"Wow, it's so lively!"
Li Baobei wore a gorgeous light purple dress, the hem of which was as light and graceful as a fairy dancing.
She wore a veiled hat that perfectly matched the color of her long dress, the thin veil subtly concealing her stunningly beautiful face.
Her beautiful eyes darted around, gazing intently at the bustling street before her, a strange sense of warmth welling up within her.
Everything seemed so familiar; she must have been here before.
However, amidst the bustling crowd, a pair of deep eyes were quietly hiding in the shadows, silently watching Li Baobei's every move.
After finishing dinner, Li Baobei felt bored and decided to go out for a stroll.
Upon hearing this, Ruyi, a young maid in the Dream Pavilion, hurriedly followed and carefully stayed by his side.
Today, the city is exceptionally lively, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, resembling a sea of joy.
Red lanterns hang high, and colorful ribbons flutter in the breeze, as if announcing that an important festival is about to arrive.
Li Baobei turned her head curiously and asked Ruyi beside her, "Ruyi, are there any special festivals in Yi Kingdom recently?"
Ruyi smiled slightly, her face beaming with a sweet smile, and replied softly, "Miss, you may not know, but today is the annual Qixi Festival in the kingdom! On this day, young men and women flock to the streets to buy their favorite lanterns and then release them into the Yongning River to express their heartfelt wishes. Legend has it that this practice is very effective!"
"Oh? I see! It looks like we're going to have a lot of fun tonight! Ruyi, if you see any lanterns you like, just tell me, and I'll definitely buy them for you." Li Baobei said happily, her voice revealing undisguised excitement and anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Ruyi immediately became shy, lowered her head, and whispered her thanks: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss..."
In fact, Ruyi also liked this beautiful young lady very much.
In her eyes, Miss Li was not only outstanding in appearance, but more importantly, she did not have the arrogance of other rich young ladies.
He treated servants of low status like himself with extreme gentleness and kindness, without the slightest hint of arrogance.
No wonder the employer likes her so much; who wouldn't like such a beautiful and poised girl?
"Ruyi, let's go take a look ahead."
"Okay." Ruyi quickly pulled herself back to reality and followed Li Baobei forward.
