The little mink trotted around the Imperial Palace. Suddenly, it sneezed, unable to guess who was thinking about it. The passing palace maids, used to its antics, hurriedly walked past it.
The mink would walk for a while, then stop. When Xi Xizhi saw something interesting, she would pause to observe. Only when she was done observing, would she move on.
Hearing the sound of trickling water, Xi Xizhi and her rotund body turned in its direction. With the weather being hot and her body being covered in long fur, the thought of cool, running water made Xi Xizhi tremble.
Thinking about it, going for a cool dip might not be a bad idea. So, she hastily ran towards the source of the sound.
The two palace maids behind her picked up their skirts, stumbling and running in their two-inch palace shoes.
"Qingyuan Pond…" The maids panted, catching up.
