Here is the English translation of the text:
After the banquet at Chengxi Palace concluded, a troupe and performers arrived at the Imperial Garden, drawing many ladies and young misses to watch the spectacle.
Shen Yinning and Xue Mianmian passed through the corridor, but noticed her looking around absentmindedly.
Curious, she asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Zhaozhao, my husband is missing." Xue Mianmian seemed worried. "He disappeared during the meal at Chengxi Palace. It's been almost half an hour since then, and I have no idea where he could be…"
Shen Yinning followed her gaze and glanced around.
After a moment, she took Xue Mianmian's hand. "He's a grown man. Do you think he would just vanish into thin air? If you're really worried, I'll accompany you to find him."
Meanwhile, at the Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.
Lu Qianqian dismissed the palace maids attending her and retrieved a packet of powder from her sleeve, spilling it all into the teapot on the table.
