Madam Shan also grew interested upon hearing this, "Whose lady is she? From which family?"
Dan Yefei shook his head, unwilling to elaborate, "The lotuses on the lake have already produced lotus pods!"
"It's about time we could eat tender lotus seeds," said Pei Qin as she led them to the lakeside.
"I'll go pick a few lotus leaves; we can have lotus leaf rice for lunch!" Chang Yonglin said.
Pei Qin waved her hand, letting him go.
Madam Shan went to change her clothes.
Dan Yefei glanced at the blooming lotuses, leaped over, took a few steps, then turned back with two lotuses and a leaf in hand, handing them to Pei Qin, "Lotuses rise clean from the mud; Madam need not bother with the mud outside."
Was he comforting her? Pei Qin smiled and took the lotuses, "But the flowers look better when still growing!"
Dan Yefei suddenly asked, looking at her, "Not to mention Yonglin and a few others, even Mingzhu continually praises Madam's intelligence. I have a favor to ask."
