"I'm here," said Li Leqing, dressed in a goose-yellow long dress, her step light as she crossed the courtyard. She skillfully placed a box of pastries on the table and smiled, "Good morning."
"Good morning."
Chai Chai, who had just eaten until she was about eighty percent full, lifted the lid of the pastry box. She picked out two pieces of rice cake to toss into her mouth, mumbling indistinctly, "Are you two going out to have fun today?"
"It's not really for fun," Li Leqing replied, a light cough escaping her as her cheeks reddened slightly. "It should be considered an inspection. We're going to see how the courses are being taught at the Imperial Medical Bureau."
