At dawn, Qin Yuan was awoken by Gu Baoshu: "Third sister-in-law, wake up quickly, we still need to return to the mansion."
Qin Yuan opened her eyes reluctantly despite her headache and asked, "Why so early?"
Gu Baoshu's eyes were bright: "Have you forgotten? We need to get ready and head to the palace. There won't be a moment of rest today."
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival and also the Empress Dowager's birthday. There will be a grand celebration with lanterns and a parade... so much is going on.
Qin Yuan sighed and accepted her fate, getting up: "I couldn't handle the alcohol last night, so inevitably got up late. You go to mother first, I'll be there shortly."
Gu Baoshu responded and headed to Old Madam Gu's room.
Xiao Hong came in with clothes, asking, "Madam, do you have a hangover?"
Qin Yuan nodded.
Xiao Hong smiled: "I learned a method from Nanny Rong, I'll tend to you later, otherwise the carriage ride will be dizzying."
