Lanqin slowly got out of bed, not wanting to disturb Mingyu, but Mingyu, who was a light sleeper, was immediately awakened. Mingyu's eyes were still blurry. "Mother, you're awake! Were you sleeping soundly?"

"Hmm, you slept quite well. Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?" Mingyu smiled. "Mingyu saw that Mother was asleep, so I thought I would rest next to you for a while. I was probably too tired, so I fell asleep."

Lanqin smiled and looked at Mingyu, "I'm going back to the palace soon, so I need to pack up first!" Mingyu left the room, and Lianqiu came in.

Lianqiu helped Lanqin with her makeup and asked, "Lianqiu, what do you think of Mingyu?" Lianqiu had been in the palace for so long that she was considered an old hand, and her judgment of people was always very accurate.

"Your Majesty, although the First Consort is the principal wife, she is not arrogant and knows how to be filial to you. She should be a good person." After all, this is Your Majesty's family matter, and Lianqiu should not say too much.

"I quite like this about her. Although she is a Fujin (principal wife), she doesn't use her status to suppress those below her. Many people can't do that. But everyone has flaws. Mingyu is just a bit stubborn, but she's still very good to Hongli." This is something Lanqin greatly admires. How many people have ruined themselves by fighting for fame and fortune!

I chose Mingyu as my wife because I saw this quality in her, and it seems that my choice was right.

Lianqiu quickly helped Lanqin get ready, and when Lanqin went out, she found that Mingyu was already waiting outside.

"Mingyu, I am very satisfied with you today. I hope you can continue to be a good mistress here." Lanqin not only affirmed her position as the principal wife, but also praised her for doing a good job.

Mingyu received Lanqin's praise, and her mood finally improved; her efforts had indeed paid off. Mingyu personally helped Lanqin to the front door, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few more words. Before leaving, Lanqin instructed Mingyu to take good care of everyone in the Fourth Prince's residence and to fulfill her duties. Mingyu nodded in agreement.

Hongli returned from court and went to Fucha Mingyu's place. Fucha Mingyu was delighted, "Your Highness, Mother has already returned to the palace, why are you only coming back now?"

"Hongzhou had something to discuss with me, so I was delayed. How are you getting along with your mother?" Hongli saw that Mingyu was in a good mood, so she must be getting along well with her mother.

Mingyu was in a bad mood because Lanqin valued Su Shi too much, but when Lanqin left, she was kind to her and even gave her a hairpin, which cheered her up.

“My lord, this is a hairpin my mother gave me. Look at it, isn’t it beautiful?” Mingyu turned her head, the bright hairpin perfectly matching her appearance. “Yes, it’s beautiful. This hairpin was made just for you.” With that, Hongli embraced Mingyu tightly.

Mingyu blushed instantly and looked around to make sure no one was watching. "Your Highness, please let me go quickly, or someone will come." Hongli found it amusing to see the girl in his arms struggling like a rabbit that had been caught, so he decided to tease her.

"What are you afraid of? You are my wife, who would dare to laugh at you?" Hongli couldn't help but lower his head and place a kiss on Mingyu's forehead.

Mingyu's face was flushed. Hongli was really happy to see that Mingyu's expression was still the same as when they first met. He was afraid that Mingyu would slowly become a strange woman in the inner quarters.
