Chapter 35

Ningshui Pavilion. Fifth Young Miss Lu Wanqing felt somewhat nervous, as today was a very important day for her. Her mother had told her that the Old Dowager intended to betroth her to Lin Yuanze, the eldest young master of the Lin family. Thinking of that elegant and handsome top-ranking imperial scholar, the Fifth Young Miss blushed with bashful delight. Today, she was to be the first to perform her zither skills at the banquet. Looking at the "Red Brocade" zither on the stand—which the Old Dowager had specially ordered to be repainted for her—her heart was filled with joy. To think the Old Dowager valued her so highly; she must perform exceptionally well later and make sure not to disappoint the Old Dowager.
