Why Leave Him Hanging

Zhu Yu fetched a jade vase and filled it with water.

It was a dainty white vase with a smooth exterior.

Lu Liangwei took it from her and put the spray of peach blossoms inside.

Then she held up the jade vase, and after studying it for a while, said to the other two with a smile, "See how beautiful this looks. They can live for several days in water. Isn't that better than sticking them in my hair?"

With that, she got up and walked out with the jade vase in her hands.

Every day after lunch, the Emperor would come over and mark Palace Memorials here.

She placed the jade vase on the soft bed near the window.

There was a low tea table, and placing the jade vase on the table made it conspicuous.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu said teasingly, "So you want His Majesty to see it. But I bet His Majesty will like it even more if you wear it in your hair. He'll probably stare at you for the whole day."
