In the palace of the Weave Cloud Dynasty, the moonlight is like water, and the quiet night is occasionally adorned by the sound of palace lanterns and the distant singing of nightingales, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility. On such a late night, Consort Liu, Liu Mian quietly arrived at Hua Xiu's palace, her heart filled with worry and unease.
Consort Liu has a gentle appearance, and her eyes always reveal wisdom and delicacy. She and Hua Xiu are like sisters, and she is very puzzled by Hua Xiu's recent changes. She suspects that Hua Xiu may have discovered an important secret, which has led to her abnormal behavior.
Hua Xiu's palace, the candlelight flickered, casting her shadow long. She sat quietly by the window, gazing at the moon outside, seemingly pondering some profound questions. Consort Liu approached gently and called out in a warm voice, "Sister Xiu."
Hua Xiu came to her senses at the sound, and seeing it was Consort Liu, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on her face. "Sister Liu, it's so late, why have you come?"
Consort Liu looked at Hua Xiu with concern in her eyes: "I've noticed that you've been carrying a heavy burden these days, staying silent and withdrawn. It's truly worrying. Sister Xiu, what is troubling you so much?"
After hearing this, Hua Xiu's eyes flickered for a moment, as if she was hesitating on how to respond. After a moment, she softly replied, "It's nothing, just feeling a bit tired."
Consort Liu did not believe Hua Xiu's words. She knew that Hua Xiu had always been optimistic and cheerful, so there must be a reason for the change. She gently took Hua Xiu's hand and said earnestly, " Sister Xiu, we are like sisters. If you have any worries, you can tell me. No matter what, I will support you and be with you."
Looking at Consort Liu's worried eyes, Hua Xiu felt touched. She knew Consort Liu was sincere, but she also understood that some things, once spoken, might bring unnecessary trouble to Consort Liu. So she gently shook her head and insisted, "There's really nothing to worry about, Sister Liu."
Consort Liu looked at Hua Xiu's forced smile and couldn't help feeling a twinge of heartache. She deeply understood Hua Xiu's strength and independence, perhaps she truly didn't want to worry her. So, Consort Liu could only sigh softly, not pressing further, and gently comforted, " Sister Xiu, no matter what happens, remember that we will always be good sisters, you are not alone."
Upon hearing Consort Liu's words, Hua Xiu felt a warmth in her heart. In this bustling and glamorous palace, she had a true friend like Consort Liu. She nodded gently, her eyes filled with determination, "Thank you, Sister Liu, I will remember."
Consort Liu and Hua Xiu sat side by side in the palace, next to the exquisitely carved window. The moonlight outside was soft like silver satin, casting a gentle glow on the two of them, adding a touch of tenderness to the tranquil night. Consort Liu occasionally gave Hua Xiu a gentle smile, filled with understanding warmth, as if she could see through Hua Xiu's worries and unease.
Although Hua Xiu tried to conceal her confusion, under Consort Liu's keen observation, every small movement revealed her inner struggle. Breaking the silence, Consort Liu spoke softly: " Sister Xiu, in life, we inevitably encounter various challenges. It's natural to feel worried in the face of the unknown, but we must not let these worries cloud our path forward."
Hua Xiu heard Consort Liu's words and couldn't help but feel grateful. She sighed softly and turned to look at Consort Liu with eyes full of trust and reliance: "Sister Liu, you always understand my thoughts. I... I am indeed a little afraid, afraid that those secrets will have an unbearable impact on me, on all of us."
Consort Liu reached out and gently held Hua Xiu's hand, with tender care in her eyes like that of an elder sister: "Sister Xiu, there will always be various tests on the journey of life. But I believe that with your intelligence and resilience, you will be able to light the way forward. And I will be your strong support."
Hua Xiu Upon hearing these words, the burden in her heart seemed to lighten a lot. A long-lost smile appeared on her face, a smile filled with tenderness. She softly said, "Thank you, Sister Liu. With you by my side, I feel like no difficulty is a problem anymore."
The two fell into silence again, but this time the silence was filled with mutual understanding and support. The moonlight outside remained the same, but the atmosphere inside the palace had changed, emanating a peace and warmth from the depths of their hearts. In this moment of tranquility, Hua Xiu's heart gradually calmed down.
In the midst of this bustling and embroidered splendor, Hua Xiu's fate seems to be quietly changing, and behind it all, how many unknown secrets are hidden? In the depths of the palace, every step could be entering a new mist, and every choice could be heading towards an unknown path.
After Consort Liu left Hua Xiu's palace, her worries did not diminish in the slightest. She knew Hua Xiu's cheerful nature, and if there were no major issues, she would not be so silent. Therefore, Consort Liu decided to hold a tea party, not only to comfort Hua Xiu's heart, but also to take the opportunity to observe other consorts, to see if she could detect any clues from them.
Consort Liu carefully selected a few gentle and harmonious Consorts who have a good relationship with Hua Xiu in daily life, and scheduled the tea party in a quiet imperial garden. The garden is surrounded by various flowers, with a faint floral scent in the air and a gentle shimmer on the lake, creating a peaceful and pleasant scenery.
On the day of the tea party, the weather was exceptionally clear and sunny, with warm sunlight filtering through the lush green leaves and dappling the exquisite stone table. Consort Liu arrived early to personally arrange the tea set, with each piece selected with great care, showing the host's dedication.
Hua Xiu followed the guidance of the palace maid and arrived at the scene of the tea party. Seeing the setup, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart. Consort Liu greeted Hua Xiu as she arrived, immediately reaching out to take her hand gently and guiding her to her seat. Her eyes were full of care as she softly said, "Sister Xiu, let us set aside our worries today and share this moment of tranquility with our sisters."
At the tea party carefully planned by Consort Liu, a corner of the palace was arranged to be both elegant and warm. Delicate embroidered floral fan tablecloths were laid out on the tables, several pots of differently colored fine teas were quietly placed in exquisite porcelain, and the steam of the tea interwove with the blossoming flowers around, creating a captivating scene.
Consort Liu gently lifted the teapot with skilled and elegant movements, each action appearing effortless and unhurried, as if she were seamlessly integrated with all this beauty. She softly introduced the origin and characteristics of each type of tea, her gentle and wise demeanor causing every Consort present to be impressed.
Hua Xiu sat to the side, her eyes filled with admiration for Consort Liu and curiosity about these famous teas. She couldn't help but ask, " Sister Liu, you are so knowledgeable about these teas. Where did you learn all this?"
Consort Liu heard Hua Xiu's question and a smile flashed in her eyes as she replied, "These are just the results of our daily leisure activities, researching together with a few good friends. Tea is not just a beverage, but also an art of life."
The atmosphere at the tea party became more harmonious, with several Consorts chatting and laughing, occasionally emitting clear laughter. Hua Xiu's innocence and frankness were perfectly displayed in this environment. She shared some of her insights on embroidery with the other Consorts, and her natural and unpretentious attitude quickly endeared her to everyone.
The snacks were presented one by one, each one exquisitely beautiful. Hua Xiu picked up a pastry and was pleasantly surprised to find its taste rich and layered, melting in the mouth. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Consort Liu, these snacks are truly wonderful. Each bite is unforgettable."
Seeing Hua Xiu's delight, Consort Liu felt gratified and responded with a smile, "To receive Sister Xiu's approval is my greatest honor."
Later, Consort Liu looked at Hua Xiu's smile, and her worries eased a bit. She asked softly, " Sister Xiu, have you discovered anything these days, or is there something troubling you?"
Hua Xiu was slightly startled, then smiled and replied casually, " Sister Liu, I'm just a little tired. Now, with the company of my sisters, I feel much better." She didn't want to burden Consort Liu with her doubts and worries, and she didn't want Consort Liu to worry about her.
Consort Liu listened and understood that Hua Xiu did not want to speak further, so she stopped asking and simply gently held her hand, indicating understanding and support. The tea party lasted for an hour, filled with laughter and lively conversation throughout the entire garden. This moment of relaxation and joy was undoubtedly a rare comfort for Hua Xiu.
When the tea party ended, Hua Xiu bid farewell to Consort Liu and the other Consorts, feeling full of gratitude. In the depths of the palace, she was not alone. With sisters like Consort Liu by her side, no matter what lies ahead, she would face it fearlessly.
Consort Liu saw Hua Xiu off and stood quietly in the garden, watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance. She still worried about Hua Xiu and was puzzled by her changes. She secretly made up her mind to care more for Hua Xiu's inner feelings and not let her bear it alone.
After returning to her own palace, Hua Xiu stood by the window, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, filled with complex emotions. She realized that she might be facing a dialectic concerning her identity and destiny, but she also understood that with a good sister like Consort Liu by her side, she would not be alone no matter what difficulties she encountered.
In the midst of this bustling embroidered splendor, everyone is interpreting their own story, and every friendship carries a different meaning. For Hua Xiu, this tea gathering is not only a solace for the soul, but also a profound understanding of friendship. In the days to come, she will always remember the warmth and support from Consort Liu.
