@❤| Honorable Lady Jessica After Jessica had poured herself a cup of tea, Taeyeon took her turn and poured her own cup of tea for herself. "You should've let me poured the tea for you. It's only proper if you've been gone and just come back after a long time. Trying to make me look bad already Lady Jessica," Taeyeon joked with a sly smile. "If you don't mind me asking, what did you do over there at the Yuan palace?" Taeyeon questioned before she reached down to grasp the delicate handles of the tea cup to drink the tea. After she had set her cup back down on it's little plate. She raised her head to smile at Jessica. "Well thank you for sharing it with me. I feel very honored." Taeyeon nodded her head before turning her head to look at Baekhyun for a moment. She turned her gaze back to Jessica in a swift moment and took a deep breath before speaking. "Nothing much has happened at the palace. Everything same day to day," She answered before smiling at Jessica.

@❤| Madam Taeyeon Feeling pleased that Taeyeon showed common courtesy, she couldn't help but look down at the empty tea cup with a hidden smile. This moment, kind of her reminded her when Taeyeon had invited her for tea when she first become a concubine to the Emperor. With her cheeks radiating just as bright as the spring, she showed a pure white teeth smile as she replied. "I can say tiring of course, but I enjoyed it with a passion. It kind of reminded me of my earlier days when I was a courtesan," She told her and reached over to pick up the warm white tea pot that flowers designed on it by the handle with grace. Without any wavering or shaking, she perfectly poured the tea in her small white cup and pushed it to her gently. "I wanted to share this tea and sweets with you. I received it as a gift from the Empress of Yuan and I remembered how long ago you had given me sweets as well. I just had to repay the favor. How has things been here by the way?" She asked and fluttered her eyelashes to look down and pick up her cup of tea, while her eyes danced over Baekhyun for a moment when she saw him looking at Taeyeon.

@❤| Honorable Lady Jessica After Taeyeon had gotten dress with the help of some of her ladies in waiting, wearing one of her more fancy hanboks, she headed out to Lady Jessica's Garden Tea party. Though she was reluctant to attend, she knew she had to be there to show her respects as a concubine in the royal palace. Not knowing what could go wrong, Taeyeon tried to brush the thought of Jessica now being in the King's favor with the thought that Lady Jessica had just come back from a long trip from who knows where. Taeyeon stepped over the stoned pathway over to the garden area. As she grew near the table set with sweet delicacies and of course, tea pots filled with tea, she saw Lady Jessica with her Royal Eunuch, Baekhyun. The face that she knew quite well. Hearing Jessica speaking, Taeyeon took a deep breath, trying not to look too strained before answering her. "Glad to be here Lady Jessica." Seeing her gesture, Taeyeon sat down fixing her chima so it wouldn't get wrinkled; not giving a look at her eunuch. "How was your trip?" Taeyeon asked as she tilted her head up to look at Jessica with a small forced smile.

@❤| Honorable Lady Jessica Keeping is hands clasped under his sleeves of his shirt he stayed quite as he followed Jessica around not once leaving her side. This was the first time he had been back at the palace as he had been away with Jessica for a bit. As he heard footsteps he turned and saw one of the concubines come up and his breath caught but he didn't make it noticeable as he realized that it was madame Taeyeon. Bowing his head slightly he pulled out the chair for the lady keeping his gaze averted to the ground the whole time

Seolhyun held her Hanbok up as she walked up the paved bridge. Every once in a while making eye contact with maids and passerbyers. Walking with no strength at all she sat at the handmade pond.owering her gaze as others whispered pointing at her. Knowing why others talked about her like the Seolhyun just looked down. "If nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Don't forget who hired me..." Seolhyun muttered clenching her first tightly.

@❤| Madam Taeyeon With Baekhyun by the lady dressed in a pearl pink Kimono, she stepped carefully over the bridge to the table she had prepared by her servants earlier. With a faint smile she passed the table to look in the rivers reflection, that was by the tables setting of tea and sweets she brought from Yuan. Ever since Jessica had earned the favor of the King, it would seem that Taeyeon had distanced herself from her. She had been away from the Royal palace for a couple of weeks and she wanted to check if Taeyeon was still feeling ill towards her. She had suddenly heard footsteps against the grass and turned to look pass Baekhyun who was looking in the same direction. "I'm glad you could make it Madam Taeyeon," Spoke with a big smile and suddenly felt bad for calling her Madam, when Jessica was of the second rank, a Honorable Lady. Shaking off that thought, she held her hand out for he to take a seat in one of the chairs.
