Chapter 119: Morning Tea
The pomegranates bloomed overnight.
Yan Zheyun woke up one morning and realised that summer had arrived, the traditional harvest festival of 'Li Xia' marked out on the lunar calendars by the busy eunuchs. He was now used to thinking of the passage of time in the traditional sense, idly noting that back in his world, it would now be the start of May, and wondering whether his siblings would be going anywhere for the upcoming term holidays. Perhaps not, if Lixin hadn't managed to reel her playful ways in; university was a whole different ballgame to high school and he didn't trust her to be an independent learner the way tertiary education required.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Queeniecat
Queeniecat (1) Be indebted to your auspicious words: meaning is along the lines of ‘with your blessing’. This is a literal translation of a phrase that is said in response whenever someone gives a positive view on a situation. For example, “the exam went better than you think, you’re going to score well!” “I’m indebted to your auspicious words.”
(2) Peach blossom luck/fortune: A metaphor for romantic luck. Someone with a lot of peach blossom luck has many suitors and admirers or a very good catch. Rotten peach blossom luck refers to a horrible suitor.
A/N: Thank you very much for reading! <3 Some changes have happened to the inner palace politics, wonder what that could mean (((: The next chapter should be up on either Sunday or Monday as I am taking Saturdays off to focus solely on catching up with RL work. Thank you for your patience and I look forward to seeing everyone at the next chapter! <3
