In a country far away, a small but warm house was built near the lake. Surrounding the lake were multiple large wisteria trees. On the lake were some thriving lotus flowers.
It was a reminiscent of the pond area in the palace. Despite being two different places, the similarity was something only a particular woman noticed.
The same woman was seen sitting under the largest tree, the shade kept her from the bright and burning sunlight.
A few months had gone by, Pei An sat under a tree with a bulging belly. Alone, she closed her eyes as her mind drifted into the past that was now getting more distant by days.
Her parents kept her company along the way, making sure she was loved and cared for. They were taking care of her very carefully as if they were afraid she would break in the slightest touch.
Pei An appreciated their thoughts and she understood why they were like that. She didn't have the intention to point it out.
