Even before she reached the other ladies, Rize was happily shouting "Mother, grandmother, over here."
Both women waved back at Rize, but none increased their pace, walking slowly with Chi Lian.
The queen dowager whose eyes had been moving around consistently said to her, "I love what you have done with the place dear, we knew that work was on going from the guards who keep outsiders away from the lake but we didn't think you would turn in into an actual beach."
"I thought it was a waste for such a beautiful lake to go unused, and stay plain. I have been told that it's mostly used by the ducks I left behind in my parent's house." Chi Lian answered.
The queen dowager turned and look up, and she said, "Right, if you keep going up, your family's home is over there, how convenient."
The empress smiled and she said, "My grandchildren will surely grow up having fun in the summer."
"Me too, I will visit all the time." The little prince declared.
