"Miss Xingxing, how come it's you?"
She originally thought it would be Miss Liu Yun or Sister Qing Yi, or perhaps one of the other few who occasionally attended to Su Luo closely.
Miss Xingxing smiled warmly: "Sister Qing Yi needs to attend to the Empress, and Miss Liu Yun is pregnant, making it inconvenient for her to travel. The Empress recalled that I have rarely had the chance to unwind outside during the few years I've been in the Imperial Palace, so she granted me this opportunity!"
With their status, an outside assignment is treated as if they were ancestors, naturally a better life than inside the palace.
Moreover, leaving the palace could broaden one's perspective.
Indeed, it's a wonderful task!
Liu Mianmian asked: "Now that you're such a character outside, what about Your Majesty's side?"
