As dusk fell, Lady Tian and Princess Mei were about to leave the palace. Naturally, they were reluctant to part ways. The carriage that was to pick them up was already waiting outside the palace. Lady Tian and Princess Mei came together to say goodbye to Lanqin.

Tian bowed to Lanqin. Although her mood was not as heavy as when she arrived, her eyes were still red, and she had been crying for a long time.

Lanqin comforted her, "Consort Tian, ​​please rest assured, I will take good care of the two princesses and will not let them suffer. If there is an opportunity, I will ask the Emperor to allow you to visit them in the palace often..."

Madam Tian nodded, and together with Consort Mei, bowed to Lanqin again, saying, "Thank you for your care, Your Majesty. We are deeply grateful..."

Mei Gege wiped away her tears with her sleeve and forced a smile, saying, "Once my daughter marries far away, I'm afraid I'll never see her again in this lifetime. The grassland environment is harsh, and I've heard that princesses who marry there often die young. I'm really worried..." Mei Gege choked up and couldn't speak. Tian Shi frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Lanqin felt a pang of sadness and said, "Please don't be sad, my two consorts. I understand how you feel. That's why I brought the three princesses to Changchun Palace so that I could teach them some life skills in advance..."

Madam Tian was taken aback. She looked up at Lanqin and said, "Your Majesty, do you have a way to prevent them from suffering on the grasslands?"

Lanqin took a deep breath and comforted them, "Although I cannot change their fate, I can teach them life skills. I have decided to give them lessons during this time, teaching them self-protection and survival techniques..."

Princess Mei and Lady Tian had never heard such a statement. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a man's world, and women were merely appendages of men. From a young age, they were taught the Three Obediences and Four Virtues: obey their fathers at home, obey their husbands after marriage, and obey their sons after their husbands' deaths. They never considered their own needs.

Concerned for her two daughters' safety, Lady Tian, ​​upon hearing Lanqin's words, anxiously said, "Your Majesty, I only hope they can live peacefully and safely..."

Megge nodded in agreement repeatedly.

Lanqin slowly said, "The princesses of our Great Qing Dynasty are all gentle and virtuous women. This is related to their education and environment, which makes them too weak and dependent on their nannies for everything. But if something happens to the nanny, they lose their own opinions and support. If there is any misfortune in their husband's family, they often lose the courage to live. This is why princesses sent for political marriages often have short lives..."

Madam Tian's face turned deathly pale. The thought that her two daughters might one day perish on the grasslands filled her with anxiety: "Your Majesty, I don't ask for them to be rich and powerful, I only wish for them to live peacefully. I originally thought that as long as they could marry good husbands, their fate would change, but... but the Prince..."

Tian did not continue speaking. Although she felt some resentment towards the Emperor and Lanqin, she could only swallow her anger.

Lanqin empathized and said, "The Fujin is a good mother. Both princesses have been well-educated; they are not only intelligent and clever but also kind-hearted..."

Lanqin paused for a moment, then continued, "My first task is to teach them how to live independently. The princesses have left their homeland and will have to rely on themselves for everything. Only by becoming strong can they survive in a foreign land. I believe that with the intelligence of the three princesses, they will quickly adapt to life on the grasslands..."

After hearing Lanqin's words, Madam Tian's previous worries subsided, and she even began to feel genuine gratitude towards Lanqin. In truth, Madam Tian harbored resentment towards Fourth Master and Lanqin, because her daughter had been sent to replace Biechuke. But now, Madam Tian truly felt that Lanqin genuinely cared for her daughter.

Suddenly, Tian knelt down in front of Lanqin in a fit of excitement. Lanqin was shocked and tried to help her up, but Tian refused to get up and kowtowed three times to Lanqin.

"I entrust my daughters to Your Majesty. I will never forget Your Majesty's kindness, even if I have to serve you like a slave. As long as my two daughters are safe and sound, I have no other wish..." Tian's words moved everyone present to tears...
