The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 709 Ensemble
Ayu slept until 4:45 AM, which was her usual day for going on duty. "Lord Yuxiang, are you awake?" a maid asked gently from her side.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ayu sat up, already awake, her hair still loose and hanging down.

Before she was fully awake, she blurted out, "Sister, has my grandmother arrived yet?"

"We've arrived. We arrived last night."

"So fast?!" Ayu didn't care about anything else. She quickly took the comb from the maid and casually ran it through her head a few times, quickly smoothing her already soft hair.

As the maid stared in disbelief, she wet and wrung out the face towel with her left hand, quickly wiping her neck and cheeks. Her right hand reached for the hair ribbon beside her, and with one hand, she wrapped it behind her back a few times, tying her hair securely and making a pretty knot.

maid:!!

She didn't even see how it all happened.

Just as she was in a daze, Ayu had already put on her clothes and shoes and rushed to the door. Only her sweet voice came: "Sister, please help me tidy up the house. I will thank you later."

After he finished speaking, he had disappeared.

Another maid, who was in charge of tidying up the room, had just entered. She watched as Yu Xiangjun, who was already dressed, left, and then noticed the basin that the other maid was still carrying. She wondered, "Has Yu Xiangjun already gotten up?"

"If I said she just woke up, would you believe me?"

"..." Nobody would believe that.

Inside the inner palace, the guards of the Chi clan did not cause any trouble and waited obediently outside. Naturally, Ayu did not use her lightness skill to fly around recklessly.

"Little fairy, little fairy, can you help me see where Grandma is?"

[It's not far from you, just past one more moon gate. My child, don't worry, your grandmother will never suffer any loss, especially since the Empress Dowager is a kind person.]

"I know, I'm afraid that Grandma will bully the Empress Dowager."

She finally understood: Grandma was kind to everyone, but she had a bad temper with some people around her age. For example, she couldn't stand Aunt Hu San in the village, and the two of them would start arguing after only a few words.

[...] I was overthinking it.

Following Tuanzi's directions, Ayu went around the moon gate and saw the familiar artificial lake, as well as the boat-shaped lakeside dwelling built on the artificial lake.

Before she left, someone had already informed the Empress Dowager, and now someone was waiting not far away to take Ayu there.

When Ayu arrived, she saw her grandmother sitting in front of a guqin, while the Empress Dowager held two wooden crescent-shaped objects with gold and jade inlays on them, which were musical instruments that Ayu had never seen before.

"Girl, did you sleep well?" The Empress Dowager saw Ayu and beckoned to her with a smile. "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come here and try the Ruyu cake that your grandmother made."

When Ayu heard the words "Ruyu cake", her eyes were filled with disbelief. Her name was Ruyu!

Seeing Ayu's aggrieved expression, Old Mrs. Wang glanced at the Empress Dowager and casually said, "Don't listen to this old woman's nonsense. It's just the white rice cake that you usually like to eat. You can eat some with sweet soup to fill your stomach. You still need to save room for lunch."

Ayu laughed: "Hey!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head: "It's rare to see you so considerate and gentle with people. I'm even a little envious of this little girl."

After they finished speaking, the two began to play as if no one else was around. Old Mrs. Wang plucked the guqin, and the ancient and profound sound resonated from the strings. Then, the Empress Dowager gently touched the instrument in her hand, producing an extremely crisp striking sound, which was particularly pleasant when added to the guqin music, making people's eyebrows and eyes relax.

It turned out to be a musical instrument.

After the two finished playing a piece, Ayu also finished her breakfast. After listening and wiping her hands, she praised them repeatedly: "Grandma, Empress Dowager, you played so well!"

"Doesn't it sound nice? You could offer this course in your girls' academy," Grandma Wang suddenly said.
