Empress Dowager Wen's words had a calming effect, and Cang Mo nodded in agreement, no longer indulging in wild thoughts.
"Princess, which one do you want? I'll pick it for you."
"That one, yes, that one."
The palace maid looked up at the red plum blooming overhead, feeling a bit troubled.
It seemed a bit high; she estimated she couldn't reach it.
The palace maid tried to jump but couldn't reach it, tried jumping again, but her foot slipped on the snow, and she fell down.
Seeing this, Su Ya and another palace maid burst into laughter.
Their silvery laughter drifted into Cang Mo's ears.
"Who is that girl laughing?"
Following the sound, Cang Mo saw beneath the blooming red plum a girl draped in a snow-white fox fur cape, covering her mouth and giggling.
Her eyes were curved like two pretty crescent moons, and against the backdrop of red plum and white snow, her delicate face appeared even fairer with a rosy glow.
