Manbao smiled slightly and, together with Mingda, said, "We just wandered around."
The Princess Consort felt more at ease seeing Manbao. She didn't disturb them but instead sat in the pavilion, patted their hands, and said, "Go find them to play."
Mingda pulled Manbao to meet her friends and introduced her to them.
Among the ladies present, Manbao had met several before, although she wasn't very familiar with them.
After all, young ladies preferred to play with children around their age. Each time Zhou Man went to the inner court for medical visits or attended banquets, she was always pulled into the group of women. Even though they had met, she hadn't played with them before.
They also wore flowers in their hair, and quite a few had chosen from among those Manbao had brought, so when they saw Manbao, they felt a bit embarrassed and then praised her flowers.
