Because of the upcoming palace banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang went to the Yan Residence a day earlier. Besides the festival gifts, Daohua brought with her a generous amount of grain and medicinal materials produced in her own space for Madam Yan and Madam Li.
Thanks to the regular consumption of food from her space, Madam Yan looked exceptionally healthy, and when standing with her contemporaries, appeared several years younger.
Madam Li also had a rosy complexion and was full of energy, possessing a dignified aura surpassing that of Aunt Lin and a charm exceeding that of the younger Aunt Liu. This made Yan Zhigao increasingly reluctant to visit his concubines' chambers.
Daohua chatted with both Madam Yan and Madam Li for a while before going to see Zhou Jingwan.
Zhou Jingwan's expected delivery date was in the next few days. When Daohua arrived, Yan Wentao was accompanying her for a walk in the courtyard.
