The next day, before dawn.
The stars and moon were hidden by dark clouds, and a downpour descended, filling the Spring Lotus Garden with the constant sound of SPLASHING rain.
Xiao Jinghong rose early.
After washing up, she sat at her vanity. She glanced over the rouge, powders, and other cosmetics, but only picked up the Silver Half Armor and put it on.
Su Zhenyue, dressed as an attendant and wearing identical half-armor, stood respectfully to the side, holding a set of clothes.
Xiao Jinghong studied her reflection in the Copper Mirror carefully, then stood and asked, "What is on the schedule for today?"
Su Zhenyue shook out the garments and helped her dress. "First, you must go to the Martial Arts Arena. Yesterday, you arranged with the Second Master to test their progress in Martial Arts."
"After breakfast, you are to visit the various residences with the Eldest Miss. I have already prepared the gifts."
