Chapter 20 (1/2)
Her first impression of Riishu, the Virtuous Consort, was a child who couldn't read the atmosphere [T/N: bad at social cues]
Mao the intermission at the end of the first part of the banquet When Guien went to replaced her cooled pocket warmer,Maomao went to check on the baby's condition
(It doesn’t look like there anything’s wrong physically in particular)
The shrieking Princess Rinrii with her face like an apple, was much more expressive compared to the first time she met her, and was even doted by her father the eer
(But, are they really going to leave her outside like this?)
If the princess caught a cold froht fly
As a result, she fashi+oned a baby bed that was like a bird's nest out of the lid that was specially crafted by a craftsman
(Well, it's cute so it should be fine)
For Maomao who didn't like children to think that she was cute, babies are terrifying beings
She gently lifted the princess, anted to go outside and started to crawl, back into basket to pass her over to Honnyan, when she heard nasally breathing behind her
She saw a young girl right there, earing a luxurious and gorgeous deep peach coloured large sleeves She was followed by several maids behind her
Though her face was char displeased
(This is the young mother in law?)
Seeing Honnyan and Guien deeply bowing their heads, she followed suit
Consort Riishu, looking displeased as it turns out, was leading her maids off to somewhere
”Was that the Virtuous Consort?”
”Yes, that's right Well, you should pretty much knohen you see her”
”I wonder if there are a several things she can't read?”
What, would be the atmosphere of that place
The Four Consorts each are given their own signature
For Consort Gyokuyou, she was deep crimson and jade, Consort Rifa would be ultra as that hat she earing, should probably be black She resides in the Poarnet in japanese is literally poranate stone]
(If we go with the Five Eleh) [T/N: Five elements of traditional Chinese philosophy: wood, fire, earth, metal and water]
The deep peach that Consort Riishu earing was like wearing Consort Gyokuyou's red outfit With the banquet seating arrangement, Consort Gyokuyou and Consort Riishu sat beside each other, so people could see that the colours clash with a glance
(Which reminds me)
She had a feeling that the quarrel from the maids she heard a distant aas about that issue
”How should I say this, she's still young, isn't she”
Honnyan, sighing deeply, surle remark
The lukewarm pocket warmers were put into the previously prepared brazier
She also decided to pass some over to the maids she saw huddled over in the distance, with permission from Consort Gyokuyou
It was soe to see hted over the warmed stones
It was unfortunate that Maomao was unable to pass any to theas when Maomao approached thenets
”In the end, you're just soft-hearted?”
Though Infa said that, amazed,
”That ht be as you say”
She frankly told her what she felt
(Speaking of that)
As it was intermission, it couldn't be helped that a lot of people alking through the back of the curtains
Everyone was holding onto an accessory in one hand
If there were those who faced with court ladies one-to-one, then there were those surrounded the court ladies in a several-to-one group
It see to an unknown military officer
”That way, they invite excellent capable people ere hidden in the flower garden”
”Okay”
”They give the accessory that holds a symbol”
”Is that so?”
”Well, there's also anotherto it”
”I see”
Infa crossed her arms and pouted at her unusually uninterested reply
”I said there's also anotherto it—”
”Is that so?”
