Dongchen Kingdom.
August 15th.
This is a day for family reunion, but not for the Prime Minister's mansion. Originally, because of the matter between the First Madam and Yang Liu, he didn't want to celebrate the festival anymore. However, the princess insisted on entering the palace on this day, so he could only send her off with lanterns and decorations.
After putting on her palace dress, headdress, and applying beautiful makeup, Sang Jiang finally looked at herself in the bronze mirror with satisfaction.
She's going to be making an appearance in front of everyone today, so naturally she has to look beautiful.
Sang Hongfu stood at the entrance of Yunshuang Courtyard and looked at the First Madam beside him, sternly instructing, "You better behave yourself later, or I'll divorce you!"
The First Madam pursed her lips, glanced at Sang Hongfu without speaking, and instead looked in the direction of Yunshuang Courtyard.
Soon, a familiar figure gracefully walked out from inside. She was dressed in palace attire, and she was holding a fan to cover her face, so no one could see what she looked like at first.
As she walked in front of the crowd, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she gently lowered her fan, revealing her signature phoenix eyes.
Sang Hongfu and the others were stunned.
Wasn't Princess Luoying supposed to be sent for a political marriage? Why did it become Sang Jiang instead?
He immediately thought of some recent events in the manor, and upon seeing Sang Jiang, he understood a little more.
Before anyone could react, Yang Qi hurriedly ran over and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "Get up."
Yang Qi nodded: "Your Majesty, this servant has come to escort you back to the palace."
After saying that, he bent down towards Sang Jiang and extended his hand.
Sang Jiang raised her arm and placed her hand on Yang Qi's arm.
Yang Qi helped her all the way to the phoenix carriage outside.
After she sat down, the imperial carriage slowly carried her towards the palace.
The imperial carriage is usually reserved for the empress, so the emperor's action was undoubtedly a declaration to everyone that Sang Jiang was no different from the empress.
The only difference was their rank; even the ceremony for bestowing the title of Imperial Concubine was more grand than that for the Empress.
Sang Hongfu didn't come to his senses until Sang Jiang's phoenix carriage had gone quite a distance. He looked in the direction Sang Jiang had left and sighed, "Debts must eventually be repaid."
He sighed softly, turned around, and got into another carriage to attend the palace banquet.
Sang Yan followed behind him, watching his back, and felt that he suddenly seemed to have aged a lot.
The First Madam walked ahead of Sang Yan, feeling quite displeased.
Normally, Sang Yan would never have been invited to such a palace banquet, but now she's the only proper young lady in the household.
Sang Yan glanced back at her third aunt, smiled slightly to reassure her, and then turned and got into a carriage.
The First Madam looked at Sang Yan, who was sitting upright in the carriage, and couldn't stand it.
This was an honor that should have been her daughter's, so why should Sangyan get it? Thinking this, she looked at Sangyan with disgust and said, "Be careful after you enter the palace, don't embarrass your elder sister."
Sang Yan nodded obediently: "Daughter understands."
The First Madam was even more displeased with her submissive demeanor: "What do you know! Stick close to me when the time comes!"
“Mm.” Sang Yan nodded.
Sang Hongfu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, frowned and opened them: "Can't you be quiet for a second? Following you? Following you would be even more embarrassing!"
"You!" The First Madam was furious. She pointed at Sang Hongfu and said, "You think I'm a disgrace? Then you go, I'm not going!"
Today, everyone is supposed to attend the palace banquet with their wives, but she figured if she didn't go, then Sang Hongfu would be left out.
Sang Hongfu glanced at her...
