Travelling to Ba Sing Se to celebrate her uncle's birthday was always an experience Xiao Dongmei and her family enjoyed, not least because it gave them an opportunity to spend a few days at his estate in the Upper Ring.
They'd gotten off the airship this morning, and had since made their way through the streets of the Upper Ring to the estate, and wished the man, Liang Dongmei, a happy birthday. That had been hours ago, and as the afternoon sun started to set, the birthday banquet was in full swing, as men and women in extravagant tunics, dresses and other such attire - either friends or associates of Liang's - mingled with one another in the estate's main hall and the large, adjacent garden, discussing the latest news and gossip. Tables laden with food and drinks, from which the guests helped themselves, lined the hall. Numerous servants moved throughout the estate, tending to the needs of the guests, but otherwise going unnoticed by them.
Again, Xiao examined her appearance, this time looking at her reflection in the pond of the estate's garden. Her jet-black hair had been done up in two neat buns, and eyeliner and pale blue eyeshadow had been expertly applied to her face. She wore a floor length dress of fine green silk, with long, wide sleeves and gold lining around the sleeves, hem and neckline. Both her makeup and the making of her dress had been expertly done, and given that she was a young female nearing maturity, she had earned a number of admiring comments from the other guests as she went about socialising with them.
Turning away from the pool, she returned to the main hall.
