After the archery and equestrian class, Prince Zhao went to Hanzhang Hall for an audience with the Emperor.
Since the Emperor had only summoned Prince Zhao, it wasn't appropriate for Hua Manman to tag along. But she couldn't very well leave the Imperial Palace on her own, either.
So, she found a secluded spot near Chongwen Hall to squat down, planning to eat while she waited for Prince Zhao.
She had brought a food box with her when she entered the palace, filled with plenty of snacks.
Prince Zhao didn't care for them, so they all ended up with Hua Manman.
She was eating with gusto when she suddenly heard voices up ahead. They were quite loud.
"How do you have the nerve to come to class at Chongwen Hall?"
Hua Manman swallowed the mung bean cake in her mouth, stood up, and walked toward the sound of the voices.
After rounding a corner, she saw a group of people.
