The sky is clear and bright without any wind, making the sunlight warm upon the skin.
Ladies are not allowed in the hunting grounds, yet the Empress Dowager, taking a rare interest, organized a game of thrown utensil competition. She is seated in a high position, with Empress Zou on one side, and Princess You Ning on the other.

Shen Hua took a distant glance.

The Empress Dowager, after watching the fun for a while, beckoned the Duchess Chengbo to come closer.
"How have you been feeling these days? After You Ning returned to the Chengbo Marquis Mansion, has she given you, her mother-in-law, any trouble?"
The Duchess Chengbo bit her tongue so hard that it bled, but she greeted with a smile.
