The imperial yellow canopy, the tassels hanging down from the beams, incense wafting in the air filled the room with the fine scent of sandalwood...
Le Xiu knelt on the cushion, dressed in a light gray overcoat embroidered with cloud pearl patterns, her hair styled in a round bun adorned with just a wooden hairpin, her face bare of makeup, serene and quiet, her beautiful eyes gently closed as she whispered incantations, the Buddha Beads at her fingertips quietly making a dinging sound. Jinyu stood by her side, hesitating several times to speak, only waiting until after a long time when Le Xiu finally opened her eyes.
Jinyu let out a long sigh of relief and went over to help Le Xiu up: "Your Grace, you've been kneeling all morning, take a rest." Supporting her to sit on the corner of the kang covered with a subtly elegant imperial concubine-colored blanket, and handed her tea, whispering: "Chief Su has been waiting outside for an hour."
