Concubine Xu felt a bit guilty, had she made it so obvious along the way? Lady Tao had noticed.
"I just miss home a little, you don't need to worry."
Lady Tao smiled, "It's fine, it's much more interesting than being in the palace."
"I think so too, but it's a pity that I can't ride and shoot, otherwise I could have joined the hunt," Concubine Xu said, her excitement causing her hand to release the small bell.
A few crisp sounds made Lady Tao, who was eating, look up with puzzlement, scanning the surroundings.
"Concubine Xu, did you hear something ringing?"
Concubine Xu quickly grasped the small bell, holding it tightly in her palm, and the ringing sound immediately grew fainter. She shook her head guiltily, "No, I didn't hear anything."
"Did I hear wrong?" Lady Tao looked around, heard no more ringing, and lost interest, continuing with her meal.
"I need to excuse myself for a moment." Concubine Xu put down her chopsticks and trotted out.
