When Eunuch Sanbao returned, he ran into Wan Qiu in the corridor. Wan Qiu was holding a tray, which contained the ceremonial attire Zhao Xi would wear at the family banquet that night.
Empress Qi had arranged four maidservants to spend the night in the Eastern Palace: Nian Chun, Zhi Xia, Wan Qiu, and Xiu Dong. However, until now, only Wan Qiu had been able to enter the inner hall to keep watch overnight, which made her somewhat special in the eyes of Eunuch Sanbao.
Seeing Eunuch Sanbao, Wan Qiu stopped and asked him, "I heard someone came from Kunning Palace, isn't it inconvenient for His Highness at the moment?"
Eunuch Sanbao said, "It's Aunt Gu Yu who came and she's already been settled. His Highness should be free."
Wan Qiu nodded and took two steps forward.
Eunuch Sanbao suddenly called out to her.
Wan Qiu turned her head, "What's the matter?"
