Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
Fang Ruotang stayed home all winter and didn't really want to go out, but she still went to attend the wedding of Wei Yao and Princess Shou'an. Firstly, Wei Yao was the Crown Prince's man, and he had already sent an invitation, so Fang Ruotang was willing to give him face. Secondly, she wanted to see how things were going between Wei Xuan and the Fourth Princess.
The last time I heard news about the two of them was when Wei Xuan secretly met with Zhao Zhen'er and was caught by Wei Yao, locked up at home, and severely beaten. I wonder if Wei Xuan has changed his ways.
Fang Ruotang had no connection with Princess Shou'an. She neither went to add to the dowry a day in advance nor visited her residence on the wedding day. Instead, she went directly to the residence of Marquis Yongyi.
In the past, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Yongyi's Mansion did not have any personal exchanges, but after Fang Ruotang came into the picture, almost every well-known family in the capital sent gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, both the Cui and Shu families came this time.
But none of her sisters came; Fang Ruotang was the only one in her generation, and the person who accompanied her was Jin Wuyou.
As soon as Fang Ruotang stepped off the carriage, she saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the Yongyi Marquis's residence. Standing at the front were the main family members, the Yongyi Marquis and his wife.
The two men were much older than Fang Ruotang, and with fawning smiles on their faces, they knelt down to pay their respects. The people who came out behind them also knelt down.
"Get up!"
Fang Ruotang was already used to it.
Although she was initially very enthusiastic about attending court, she later became lazy and didn't go as often, but that doesn't mean she stopped going altogether. She would still go at least once a month.
Every official of the fifth rank or above who was allowed to attend court had knelt before her. It didn't take Fang Ruotang long to go from feeling awkward at first to getting used to it.
[You haven't been out and about in a long time, and we haven't gotten to know each other well in a long time either. How about we chat?]
The little mirror suddenly spoke, and the crowd who were kneeling to pay their respects suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
On such a wonderful day, we shouldn't be chatting!
