This is not the first time she coming over to the palace but its been too long as her remember the last time she's coming there. Maybe when she's a child, around 5 or 6 years old. Now she is grown woman, 22 years old.
It's not appropriate for a grown woman randomly get in or out the palace, even she is the minister daughter. It's will be become the rumours since any young woman except the maid or royal family get in the palace meaning she maybe was served as concubines for any royal family.
She did not interested to get into that kind of rumours, so she will avoiding the palace as she can. The far she have been recently at the Lotus Square to perform the dance for Jiaqi last time. That's not even can be the real palace since it's openly for public to access for any royal event.
So yes, this is the first time after years coming into the palace. She is mesmerising the interior of the main palace, there's decorated with royal color; gold, red, green. The details of every crafted corner making her gasping lowly, trying not show off her amusement.
They are lead by the royal eunuch to the main dining room. Yue always remind herself to behave more, since they're just informed by the eunuch that the King requesting them to having the dinner at their family dining room not the guest area.
Only the royal family can be served in that dining room. It's privately area which only can be access by certain people, not even the minister. Yue thought maybe his father is King's favourite person, that's why her family getting this special privilege.
Upon their arrival, there's a long que of maid outside the room bowing their head down to them. Her family quickly bowing back to them as respectful manners. They are entering the dining space which decorated beautifully. Yue quickly close her mouth which slightly opened due to awe with that space.
The dining room is facing the private garden which can be seen straight from the room by the gigantic sliding door connecting the verandah. There's the emerald green pond outside with various cherry blossom tree outside which already turned to gold, orange, red, pale pink colours mixed to each other giving the magnificent view like expansive painting.
"Beautiful isn't? The late Queen, King's mother specially love the cherry blossom. That's why that private garden full with cherry blossom. This hairpin on your hair also from the majesty as present of your birth." her father touching the hairpin beside of her head.
That special hairpin with cherry blossom motives at the end will only wearing by her for special occasion but she have no idea that's from the late Queen.
"Oh? I didn't know that, Father."
"Hmm..your late great-grandmother is the Queen teacher. So, this hairpin as the firstborn present to you." her father pinching her nose gently.
