Chu Yun had just finished settling on a menu for the upcoming festivities, and was looking out the open window in relief at having convinced Min Sezhui to voice an opinion -- any opinion -- just in time to catch sight of Xiao Zai and Lieba Chun skulking around some bushes in a most undignified manner.
Lieba Chun was the Prince of a nomadic people, so Chu Yun really had no metric to judge how inappropriate his behaviour was, but Xiao Zai was King of Zui and he really shouldn't be outside hiding behind bushes like a troublesome child.
"There's something I need to do," he told Hua Nanyi his gaze still fixed on the open window and the backs of Xiao Zai's and Lieba Chun's heads. "The two of you should move on to decide on the flower arrangements."
Hua Nanyi paled considerably. "I don't understand anything about flower arrangements!"
