Liu Wuyou has been sick most of the time in the past two years. Today, she is full of energy, so she plans to take a good stroll around the palace.
When Concubine Wei learned that she was going out, she sent one of her trusted palace maids, Hongmian, to follow her.
"If you encounter any trouble, let her handle it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Wuyou accepted the kindness with a smile on his face.
-
Hongmian is a calm and composed palace maid who follows Liu Wuyou quietly. When she is not needed, she is as if she does not exist.
Liu Wuyou had previously complained that there was no other place to visit in the palace except the Imperial Garden, but to be honest, she had never really enjoyed the Imperial Garden in the two times she had been there. Today, she had a rare interest in it, so she decided to take a good stroll around.
The Imperial Garden is actually very large, but most of the time, people from outside the palace are entertained in a fixed area. Liu Wuyou asked Hongmian to take her to look somewhere else.
Because she was a noble lady invited into the palace by the Empress Dowager and was treated as a guest of honor by Concubine Wei, with Hongmian leading the way, Liu Wuyou could still stroll around the Imperial Garden as she pleased.
"Hongmian, do you recognize these flowers, plants, and trees?"
"I only recognize a few. If Miss Wuyou is interested, I will find someone to explain and introduce it to you."
Liu Wuyou nodded, and Hongmian went to call a young eunuch from the imperial garden.
The young eunuch looked quite young, with a delicate and fair complexion, and was quite good-looking.
Liu Wuyou felt sorry for her. It was so pitiful that she had to enter the palace and do such a job at such a young age.
"Your servant pays his respects to Princess Wuyou." The young eunuch stepped forward and bowed to Liu Wuyou.
Liu Wuyou smiled and said, "Do you recognize all these?"
"I recognize it."
"Then you can introduce it along the way, and I will learn from you." Seeing that the young eunuch didn't dare to look up at her, Liu Wuyou took a step forward, and the young eunuch and Hongmian followed behind her.
The young eunuch's voice was still in the voice change period, so it was not as shrill as those of the older eunuchs, but rather a bit hoarse.
Liu Wuyou listened to him introduce each item carefully, and he really recognized every one of them.
But she herself didn't remember many of them, so she just listened and let it go.
It was spring, a beautiful season. The sun was not too strong this morning, and it was comfortable and warm to be bathed in the sun. Occasionally, a spring breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants, which made Liu Wuyou feel even better.
"Princess Wuyou, the person in front is Empress Xian." Hongmian took the initiative to speak to Liu Wuyou for the first time.
Liu Wuyou withdrew his gaze from the flowers and plants and looked towards the distance ahead.
"Is Empress Xian pregnant?" she asked Hongmian.
Hongmian nodded and said, "Yes, it has been almost six months. Concubine Wei and Concubine Xian are cousins and they often interact with each other." This was to remind Liu Wuyou that Concubine Xian was one of their own.
Since that was the case, Liu Wuyou naturally had to go forward and say hello.
Concubine Wei was born gorgeous and usually dressed as gorgeously as possible, while Concubine Xian wore plain clothes and dressed almost as plainly as Liu Wuyou.
Empress Xian's appearance is somewhat ordinary among the beauties in the harem, giving her the impression of a harmless beauty from a small family.
"Your servant comes to see Empress Xian and pays her respects. This is Princess Wuyou, who is temporarily staying in Yaohua Palace. The imperial concubine asked me to accompany her for a walk." Hongmian first introduced Liu Wuyou to Empress Xian.
Liu Wuyou bowed to Concubine Xian, who offered her a hand to support her and said softly, "Is Princess Wuyou feeling better?"
"Much better. Maybe it's because Yaohua Palace is so nourishing. My health is much better than before I entered the palace. I even have the energy to go out and enjoy the flowers." Liu Wuyou had a good impression of Concubine Xian. From her appearance to her words and deeds, she gave people the impression of being very approachable.
