The procession didn't move very quickly, as there were quite a few people walking on foot.
The resting place for midday had been arranged in advance; it was a small town less than forty li from the Capital City.
Yun Jiao and their carriage were at the forefront. Upon reaching the town, Jiang Youzhi found her a room, and she finally took off her grand outfit and changed into a light gauzy dress.
The phoenix crown on her head was also removed. Since Yang Ying hadn't arrived yet, there was no one to do her hair. Yun Jiao applied some hair oil to smooth her frizzy hair and simply inserted a hairpin before letting it be.
She came out to see Qi Er and You Er playing in the courtyard. Delighted, Yun Jiao called out, "Qi Er, You Er!" She opened her arms wide with a smile.
Qi Er walked over with few steps, shyly smiled, and saluted Yun Jiao, "Aunt Gu."
You Er stood beside Qi Er and also gave a proper salute, "Mother."
