Drinking tea on the westernmost veranda of the palace, Tianzi enjoyed the cool night breeze as it caressed her skin and stirred her hair. This might be a tiny piece of what people call paradise.

Tianzi did not know paradise; as Empress she was not allowed to leave the palace. But she had heard it was a place of bliss, of serene happiness.

This adequately described her feelings when Kaguya spent time with her, discussing life outside of diplomacy. Or simply being there. With Kaguya by her side, she thought, every place was likely to become paradise in her eyes.
