Chapter 1009_1

After returning from Prince Rui's Mansion to Prince An's Mansion, Shangguan Wanru went to pay her respects to Princess Consort An in the main courtyard. After having dinner in her own courtyard, she played a tune on the flute for Zhuan'er. Although her performance was not great, it was at least continuous. Amidst the rather smooth melody, Zhuan'er drifted off to sleep peacefully.

After Zhuan'er fell asleep, Shangguan Wanru, who had spent the entire day making rice dumplings, was exhausted. She took a floral bath in the bathroom, attended to by her maid, and then read a bit.

Once her hair was dry, she told the attending maids, "You may all leave. I am going to bed."

"Princess, are you going to bed so early tonight?"

"Uh-huh, I'm a bit tired today, and I want to go to bed early."

After Shangguan Wanru went to bed, the maids left a small lamp on and then withdrew.

Barely had Shangguan Wanru laid down in bed when she heard the sound of the flute.
