While waiting for the Old Princess Consort to take her last medicine bath, Qin Liuxi and Chen Pi were waiting in the courtyard, with a portion of exquisite pastries each by their sides.
"Your sister is probably missing us by now." Qin Liuxi languidly sat on the lounge chair, basking in the autumn sun, half-squinting her eyes in sheer comfort.
Chen Pi counted on her fingers and said, "It's been seven or eight days since we left the Prefecture. Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. My sister is bound to be longing. Master, the Old Princess Consort's treatment is concluded. Are we departing for Li City today?"
Qi Qian stepped out of the door just in time to hear this and paused in his footsteps.
Qin Liuxi reached up to make a canopy over her eyebrow bone with her hand and looked at the sky, saying, "There will be rain in the afternoon. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
