Song Yaoyao nodded. "Much better. Let's go wait by the entrance."
Everyone thought that made sense.
Song Yaoyao said to the Fifth Prince,

Guagua's voice suddenly piped up:
[Host, host, I've got some juicy gossip. Want a taste?]
Song Yaoyao: *[Yes, yes, yes.*
*Whose gossip?]*
Guagua: *[The man in the blue-green robe
