The palace maid glanced at Concubine Yi, her gaze falling on Gu Lan behind her: "And this is——?"
Concubine Yi respectfully said, "This is Gu Lan, a nephew from my maternal family. The other day, she found an ancient copy of the Lengjia Scripture. She plans to give it to me, and since Your Ladyship mentioned this scripture before, I brought her along to present it."
The palace maid, hearing this name, thought for a moment. The Empress has long been devoted to Buddhism, studies Buddhist scriptures, and enjoys collecting rare copies, and indeed has mentioned this scripture.
"Might I trouble you to announce us."
The palace maid hesitated briefly and said reluctantly, "Concubine Yi, it is not that I refuse to announce you, but the Empress specifically instructed no one to disturb her after she entered the Buddhist Hall today."
