Summary
At the flower banquet, the Empress had a magnificent Yao Yellow peony hidden in the garden.
Whoever found it first, she announced, would become the Crown Princess.
The noble young ladies rose to search.

I hurried back, picked up the peony in secret, and tucked it into my sleeve.
Everyone wanted to be Crown Princess.
I, however, said nothing.
I would wait until the banquet ended, then dispose of the evidence.
