74 Chapter 15: Imperial Dr. Yen, Spring Garden Party Part Four (1/2)

Yen hated going from one place to another the stares were killing her. However, she needed to make her way to the food testing pavilion.

”Young lady, please have this.”

A kanzashi was presented to her before her eyes.

When she looked up, she saw a fearless-looking large man smiling sweetly at her, his face somewhat red. He didn't have a matching beard yet. Though he had a face that fell under the category of handsome, Yen, who had strong resistance to unnecessarily sweet smiles, only looked back at him without any strong feelings.

Though the military official seemed to notice that her reaction was not what he expected, he did not stop offering his presented hand. His legs shook as he stood on his tiptoes with his body bent. Yen noticed that she seemed to be the cause of the man's dilemma.

”Thanks.” Yen took it, looking like a pet owner who praised her puppy. She thought that someway or other, he was like a mongrel.

”Mm, see ya then. Nice meeting ya. I go by Bai” he said before he waved and took off. Yen noted that he had ten or so kanzashi in his belt. She gazed at the peach-colored coral kanzashi,

”Did you just receive that, Yen?” Mao and the other three maids came by saying that. Each of them had their spoils of war slipped to their sashes.

”It is a participation prize though.” Yen replied without feeling. And then, from behind,

”Aren't you sad with only that much?” It was a noble voice she was familiar with. She turned around, and there stood Consort Jie with her voluptuous breasts. Yen turned to face her, making the Consort and her maids pause for a moment.Yen signed inside, her face is too distracting she really needed to do something about it.

”It's been a while,” Yen said.

”A while.” Consort Jie, looking up, touched Yen's hair. Again, just like the time with Ren, she stuck something there. ”Well then, pleasure meeting you.” She walked away gracefully, chiding her attendant maids who couldn't completely hide their shock. The ones amazed were the Jade Palace's maids.

”Ahh, with this, Gina-sama would be really peeved.” Yao flipped the decoration of the kanzashi with an amazed face.
