As she hesitated, noise came from the courtyard and a large crowd came flooding in. The person in the lead cried out in her sharp voice: "Congratulations to Miss Feng!"
Feng Zhiwei walked out, opening the door onto a yard filled with glittering eyes and gloating smiles. Old Lady An stood in the lead holding clothing and accessories, her donkey face cracked with smiles, powdered makeup falling in droves.
"Congratulations to Miss Feng!" Old Woman An cried out again, proffering up the clothing in her hands. "We've heard that you have been chosen to become Prince Hu Zhuo's concubine! The Hu Zhuo Prince is here to visit and the madam is hosting him in the front hall. Do you need to change and attend?"
The servant women had to strain to hold back their laughter as an older lady called out: "I've heard the steppe men are strong, Miss Feng is truly fortunate."
