Guan Shuyan sat on the bridal bed, her face full of shy tenderness, watching Song Ling step out of the new room, her eyes glistening, brimming with joy.
"Miss." Her close maid, Dan Qing, walked over with a smile, saying, "Master has instructed someone to bring some pastries first, so you can have a little bite."
Guan Shuyan shook her head, saying, "I'd rather wait to eat with Master."
"Miss, you've hardly eaten anything today, you must be hungry. When Master returns, he might be too busy to eat much." Her loyal nursemaid, also one of her companions, Mama Zhong, walked in with deep meaning, saying, "Better to listen to Dan Qing and have a little bit, otherwise, where will you find the strength."
Understanding the implications of the words, Guan Shuyan blushed.
Another maid, Zhu Sha, walked in, saying, "Miss, I just inquired with Lin Ji, who is close to Master. There are several of Master's classmates helping with drinks, including that Scholar Fu, so Master might return soon."
