Originally, Yue Shi was ordered to deliver a letter from Empress Ji to Bai Qingyan. However, before entering Dadu City, she heard that... on Gaoyi Commandery Princess's birthday, a kite festival was being held at Jinhui Mountain to celebrate with the people, and even Bai Qingyan and the Bai family ladies would attend.
Yue Shi also had a handwritten letter from his master for the eldest lady, so instead of going directly into the city to the Imperial Palace, he came to Jinhui Mountain.
On his way, Yue Shi thought of the Bai Clan Hidden Guards, hoping for a chance to meet some of them. He bought some jerky and honey to share with them.
Though it was supposed to be a people's celebration, social distinctions were still present. The commoners were blocked outside by layers of imperial guards. However... even from outside, they could see the kites flying in the sky, and hoping for a glimpse of the Empress, gathered there.
