Xiaobai

 The days had passed in a blur, and eventually, Peizhi's punishment had ended. 

 The days of confinement had been unbearable, much like hell for her , the long days of staring out the window, listening to the distant sounds of the courtyard, and feeling the frustration of being locked away while life went on without her. 

 But now, she was free. 

 The days passed by in a blur with an air of peace all over the mansion, there was no stirring trouble, just peace and quiet. Not until. . . 

 The sky was a soft shade of blue, with wisps of white clouds drifting lazily. 

 The morning breeze carried the scent of damp earth and blooming flowers. Peizhi stepped outside with her maid, Xiliu into the courtyard behind her chambers. 

 She inhaled deeply, savoring the crisp air as she twirled happily in her flurry of silk robe . 

"Finally, peace". She murmured, stretching her arms and inhaling the cool breeze.
