Setting up the array in her room was not difficult. Anji accomplished that within minutes. However, receiving a reply from the guards who escorted her took over two hours, and Anji could not leave her room as she pleased.
"Come in," Anji called out, and changed into her rich lady robes when someone finally knocked on the door.
The guard bowed as he entered and handed her a reply to the letter she sent earlier. Pu Jianming, or whoever Song Min possessed, was still seated at the same spot. They must have received her letter and sent a reply, but it did not explain how it would take nearly two hours.
"Why did it take so long?"
Apologising again, the guard explained that the 'scholar' she wrote to was busy and they had to wait before they could be granted an audience. In addition, the scholar had extended a verbal invitation to enjoy the moonlight together this evening, something rather inappropriate in the eyes of those who did not know better.
