"Oh dear, where did this stray cat come from? It smashed the Empress Dowager's most beloved orchid." The palace maid exclaimed, knowing they would be held accountable if the Empress Dowager demanded an explanation.
"What? The Empress Dowager's orchid has been smashed?" The Old Palace Maid was shocked and went over to inspect.
Seizing the opportunity, the two of them slipped into the Empress Dowager's chamber.
The chamber was large and silent; the palace maids stood outside, leaving no one inside. They walked for a long time before finding the Empress Dowager's bedroom, drew back the Bead Curtain, and entered...
Inside, a small Luminous Pearl was placed on the wall, not very bright, but the objects inside were dimly visible. A huge Thou Kiln Flower Pouch was set on one wall, filled with orchids; the Empress Dowager had a special fondness for orchids.
The room was elegantly decorated, with each item worth an enormous amount of treasure.
