Not long after Fourth Lady Yin got married, it was Fifth Lady Yin's turn, both in June, just one in the middle of the month and the other at the end of the month. It was uncertain whether it was intentional or coincidental, as one was during the mid-month break and the other during the summer vacation.
Indeed, the Great Jin had summer vacations.
Manbao and Bai Shan had just returned to the Chongwen Pavilion, and Director Xiao informed her that Watermelon Frost was forming on the watermelon peel. The palace then announced a holiday.
Manbao didn't leave the palace but asked Bai Shan and Bai Erlang to visit the Imperial Hospital to check out the Watermelon Frost after they returned.
Upon hearing her curiosity about the holiday, Director Xiao explained with a smile: "The court has summer vacations and winter vacations every year. This year's summer vacation is earlier because the Astronomical Bureau predicted continued high temperatures in the coming days."
