Fourth year of Zhengyuan, sixteenth day of the first month.
Dusk, with elongated shadows.
At the foot of the steps of Liangyi Palace, after Li Yao finished speaking, the palace attendant did not turn inside to report but merely bowed and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty is inside the hall, the Princess should return!"
Li Yao was puzzled, "Just because His Majesty is inside, I can't see the Empress?" She is the emperor's cousin, so she doesn't need to avoid them too much; can't she see them together?
The palace attendant raised her eyes, giving a meaningful look, "His Majesty is resting with Her Majesty..."
Li Yao's face flushed instantly, "Then I, I won't disturb them!" She turned and walked quickly a few steps, suddenly stopping to look back, softly asking, "Will Her Majesty still come out to enjoy the lanterns tonight?"
She answered herself just as she finished asking, "Understood, understood..." waving her hand, she walked away.
