The Empress was meeting with some elderly titled ladies, and Changyu had been sitting with them for quite a while. She was so bored that she started giving Mingda glances.
Mingda still hadn't achieved her purpose, so she was unwilling to leave, pretending not to see.
Changyu had no choice but to sit a little longer. It was really unbearable; if she sat any longer, she would fall asleep.
So she quietly got up and left.
As soon as she walked out the door, a breeze blew, revitalizing her spirits. She exhaled deeply and was about to return to her sleeping quarters.
A senior palace maid stopped her, "Princess, most of the officials with titles have already come in. In a while, Her Majesty will go over. If you return to your quarters now, you might not make it back in time."
She suggested, "If you're feeling low in spirits, why not head over to Wude Hall? Talking to people there will surely perk you up."
Changyu, feeling bored, responded, "Alright. I wonder if Zhou Man has come in?"
