As soon as Yaduo finished speaking, Zhuo Ma immediately gave up her chair to her.
Yaduo walked over to sit beside Li Xianyun, looking at the newly cut "petal" in her hand, "Xianxian, I didn't expect you knew how to make flower lanterns."
Li Xianyun passed the scissors and paper to her with a shallow dimpled smile, "When I was a child, I used to make them while playing with my younger brother and sister."
While snipping the paper, Yaduo asked, "How old are your brother and sister now?"
"My brother is fourteen this year, and my sister is twelve."
Li Xianyun's lips curled into a smile, filled with warmth and charm, as she spoke of her family.
"Being an elder sister must be quite hard for you."
Li Xianyun chuckled lightly, "My brother and sister are quite obedient, so it's rather worry-free."
The two chatted amicably about all sorts of things.
The maids and palace servants were more relaxed as well, chatting and laughing.
