"Wan'er, I've heard that Commandery Princess Dongyang is also visiting your residence. Why hasn't she come over to play with the Noble Lady here after all this time?"
"I don't know either, maybe she's with my mother."
"If she comes, what would she talk to us about? Would she say how vibrant these flowers are and how they should be embroidered on a handkerchief? Or how to hold an embroidery needle without pricking one's hand?"
Someone giggled.
"Ah Ying, you're really a mischievous one."
"I'm just stating the facts. Do you think she knows how to handle an embroidery needle? I bet she doesn't even know what it looks like. Oh, if you asked her what a spear looks like, she could probably talk to you until nightfall."
