She stepped over the threshold and saw how strangely quiet it was. 'Why is no one here?'
Song Yunzhao lifted her hem and stepped onto the stone stairs, looking all around. 'Could I have gone the wrong way?'
'That can't be right. The palace maid said the flower hall, and this looks like a flower hall to me.'
Just as she reached out to push the door open, she suddenly heard someone shout, "Who goes there?"
Song Yunzhao jumped in fright. She whipped her head around and saw a eunuch hurrying over, his expression unfriendly as he stared at her.
By now, Song Yunzhao had guessed she had probably come to the wrong place, but she had no idea where she had ended up.
"I am a concubine candidate. I asked a Palace Attendant, and they said I could come to the small flower hall to eat. I'm just here for a meal," Song Yunzhao explained at once, not wanting to be misunderstood.
"A meal?" The man's expression held a trace of surprise and something... odd.
