Chapter 427: Chapter 427: First Update on Shangsi Festival (5)_1

After Cai Wei and the three sisters of the Du family alighted from the carriage, they saw a number of horse carriages, each one richly decorated, all from prestigious families parked in front of the palace gate. This was exactly the time when all the prestigious families' noble ladies would enter the palace, so there were quite a few people at the gate.

Yet it was quiet all around, with no one daring to talk loud in front of the grand palace gate. They all followed etiquette when they greeted each other, even if they were familiar with each other, they would only nod slightly. No one was having idle chats or laughter here.

The young ladies all followed the palace's assigned old maids decorously, treading with tiny steps, making their way to the Imperial Garden.
