Chapter 55
“Miss, a letter has arrived for you—from Wu Kingdom.”
As Zhu Cici continued carefully stitching her embroidery, a maid walked into the courtyard.
The moment Zhu Cici heard the letter was from Wu Kingdom, her eyes lit up with excitement.
She put down the embroidery in her hands, her skirt swaying as her legs moved swiftly. She hurried over and exclaimed, “Quick, give it to me!”
Zhu Cici opened the package to find a letter and a small shuttlecock.
The shuttlecock’s snow-white goose feathers were clean and pristine, as pure as fresh snow.
Opening the envelope, she pulled out two sheets of paper.
She unfolded the first page and saw it was a letter from Xu Ming.
In the letter, Xu Ming explained that he was about to join the military and wouldn’t be able to receive birthday gifts anymore because mail wouldn’t reach him while he was in the army.
