After a six-day break, Manbao opened her eyes in bed and didn't immediately react. It wasn't until a knock on the door came from outside and her father's voice entered, "Manbao, you need to go to the palace for work today."
Only then did Manbao wake up with a start and quickly got up from bed.
The sky was already bright, and Manbao, afraid of being late again, hurriedly changed clothes and washed up.
Zhou Lijun, also worried she'd be late, barely tidied herself up. She brought a basin of water while half-closing her eyes and yawning, "Auntie, quickly wash up. I vaguely heard that Uncle and the others' yard was also bustling earlier, it seems everyone is up."
Manbao stretched and said, "Getting up early wasn't that hard before, why is it so difficult now?"
Zhou Lijun tilted her head, thought for a moment, and gave everyone a reason, "It must be because everyone got tired from yesterday."
Manbao very much agreed.
