Many young noblemen went out of the capital to hunt; there were hunting grounds nearby, fenced off to avoid harming passersby. Most hunting grounds were free to enter and not exclusive to the royal family. When the Zhou family's group arrived, the best tents had already been taken.
The girls—Yu Die, Yu Wen, and Yu Jiao—did not join the hunt. Instead, they stayed behind with their maidservants to prepare snacks and tea, while the young servants tended to the fire. Their tent was near a stream, guarded against wild animals.
Yu Die was not one to sit idle and suggested, "Why don't we go for a walk nearby?"
Yu Wen, reclining on a cushion, lazily waved her hand. "I'm not going anywhere."
Yu Yi, worried about Yu Die and Yu Jiao, said, "Yu Wen, I'm leaving the tent to you."
Yu Wen replied, "Got it."
She was planning to take a short nap anyway since her cushion was extraordinarily comfortable.
