Chapter 13: What the Chest Held
Yuwei was dressed before the prince had finished tying his belt.
They stood at the window together and watched the second litter go by.
It was a closed palanquin with brown curtains, carried by four of the Dowager's bearers.
A maid walked beside it, holding the hem of a veiled woman's cloak.
The veiled woman did not look up.
She was swallowed by the door of the guest wing, and the door shut.
"A visitor for the banquet," the prince said. "My stepmother's cousin, she'll say."
"Do you believe it?"
"I believe she is not stupid enough to bring a witness she can't control."
He picked up his green robe from the floor and shook it out.
"I will go and ask."
"Politely."
"In front of a servant."
"Take Ma."
"I'm taking Ma." He paused with his hand on the door.
His eyes went over her, from the loose hair to her bare feet, and his face softened in a way she was beginning to know.
