Homecoming

(New Intro time!!!)

(Maomao Pov Flashback)

An old man was walking away from a young Maomao as she was running behind him.

Young Maomao: Dad!

The man stopped and turned to look back at her, she grabbed his hand.

Young Maomao: Dad!

They both start to walk off.

(Present)

Maomao was lying in bed looking up at the ceiling.

Maomao: I wonder if Dad's doing okay.

Maomao then sits up out of the out.

Maomao: Right. Yesterday, after the garden party...

(Flashback)

Yinghua, Guiyuna, and Ailan are surrounding Maomao and Y/n.

Yinghua: What are you talking about?! The minister who ate the poison is in terrible condition! You're sick. Get lots of sleep!

They proceed to pick her up and carry her off. She looks back to see Y/n waving as she was being carried off. To her room.

(End of Flashback)

Maomao: Thanks to them, I got a good deal of sleep. But sleeping until noon is too much.

Maomao then realized that she had forgotten to patch up Y/n. She then relaxes as she remember that it was Y/n she was thinking about. Maomao then gets up out of bed.

Maomao: I can't go without makeup now.

Maomao touches her face. Maomao walks into the room with Hongning and Gyokuyou as they where watching a baby Lingli crawl on around on the floor.

Gyokuyou: Oh. You could have taken a day off.

Maomao: I can't allow myself to do that. Please put me to work.

Gyokuyou: Oh? Your freckles.

Maomao: I'm uncomfortable without them. Can I keep them on?

Gyokuyou: I understand. Everyone kept demanding to know who that lady-in-waiting was.

Maomao: My apologies.

Gyokuyou: It's fine. Anyway, Gaoshun came by this morning and hasn't left. What do you want to do? He seemed bored, so I asked him to pull up some weeds.

Maomao: Weeds... 'Back at the garden party, he was in a pretty high-ranking seat right beside Y/n. I guess he is caring. He must win the hearts of the ladies-in-waiting in his own way.' May I use the parlor?

Gyokuyou: Sure. Hongniang.

Hongniang: Yes.

Maomao: ' Is it just me, or is Hongniang being sparkly-eyed, too?'

Maomao was soon in a room with Gaoshun.

Gaoshun: Master Jinshi wanted me to bring you this.

He sets the bow of soup in front of her.

Maomao: This is the soup that Lady Gyokuyou was supposed to drink, right?

Gaoshun: Yes.

Maomao: How kind of him.
