In the following days, Shen Hua was exceptionally busy.
During her visit to the Imperial Palace, Wei Yingying was already able to get out of bed; seeing Shen Hua, she couldn't help showing her delight: "Did you come especially to see me?"
Shen Hua was very honest: "I just stopped by on the way."
Upon understanding her intention, Eunuch Xu obsequiously ordered wine to be brought.
Shen Hua chatted casually with her, and after receiving the wine, did not linger; she turned to the Imperial Kitchen, grabbed some snacks, and then was finally willing to leave.
Wei Yingying watched her depart and, with a smile, said to the silent Ji Teng: "The first time I saw her, I couldn't take to her and thought she wasn't worth anything."
And even now she wasn't.
But at least!
In Wei Yingying's hands were a pair of Dongyang Peacock Green Pearls gifted by Shen Hua.
"She even knows to send me pearls, later polished into earrings, I will surely look good wearing them. Truly to my liking!"
