Age is catching up with the Empress Dowager ...

The Empress Dowager is getting weaker by the day. She used to love her fortnightly walk around the Palace premises in her ball. However when the Palace Steward brought her around today, she was less active and visited only the main hall. After all Her Majesty was already more than 2 years old. The Palace Steward will pay more attention to Her Majesty's needs. Her quest for finding an heir to the throne is still on-going.

Few days back the Palace Steward was out doing some odd jobs. I went for a nice place for lunch. Although it was not my first time there, this time I took out my handphone and snap a few pictures to give my masters some ideas on how to decorate the Palace.

The bridge lead to the eating place. It was a bright sunny afternoon but my handphone could not capture it. Nevertheless, it is the bridge that I want to show my masters. My masters are looking into constructing bridges to link up various buildings in the Palace.

Pretty flowers. As a Palace Steward, looking out for new flowers to decocrate the Royal Garden is part of my work. These are water plants on a fountain. Perhaps the Palace can have something like that too.
This plant has a special meaning to me ... I will take photos of it if I see a nice one hanging around. It will look good in the Palace too.
