บท 458: Crowns, robes and tea.

In the royal palace of the Chinese empire, the Queen dowager was spending time with the empress, Princess Rize and Crown Princess inside of a very large parlor. The women were trying on robes for the liberation day festival which was to take place on the third day of the following month. For each woman over a dozen options had been provided and they were giving one another opinions on what they considered elegant and appropriate.

As they tried on the intricately hand woven robes, they discussed affairs of the empire and ordinary gossip.

"Grandmother you have barely tried on anything from your pile. Are you not in the mood or do you plan to avoid liberation day this year?" Rize asked her.
