...On A Mission

That evening, Lei Xing returned to the palace with her bouquet flowers in hand in a pretty good mood. The Princess was not what she expected at all, and the group did not turn out to be the awkward tense lot their initial gathering presented. Although the dissolution of the tense atmosphere came by way of her embarrassment, she decided to overlook that fact and summed it up to be quite a good day. 

She was still feeling a bit queasy, which baffled her as she usually had thicker nerves than this. Regardless of how much Princess Nalan's detailed cuisine session bothered her, she should have gotten well over it by now. Lei Xing sighed and concluded that this body was really too weak and pampered. She ate some berries to help alleviate the feeling of nausea and then went for a warm bath, relaxed and lingered in the bath until she started dozing off.
