Chapter 346
After saying that, she solemnly added, "Xiaoju, you and I are no longer mistress and servant, but more like sisters."
After so many years of getting along, she had long regarded Xiaoju as a sister.
“Miss, I understand,” Xiaoju nodded.
Although the Empress is now a Noble Consort, she still treats her very well. She always gives her a share of the best food and clothing. Her dressing case is now filled with all kinds of jewelry and headwear.
The Empress has always treated her very well, and that has never changed.
The two chatted intimately for a while, and Shen Qingnian finished her makeup and changed her clothes with Xiaoju's help.
Liu Yurou, also wearing a veil, came out from the other side. Zhu Lan had just led her to the inner room to do her makeup.
Liu Yurou wore her hair in a traditional Chinese updo, her face covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of affectionate eyes that bore a resemblance to Shen Qingnian.
“Mother is truly as beautiful as a sixteen-year-old,” Shen Qingnian couldn’t help but exclaim.
After escaping from Shen Zheng's grasp, her mother became increasingly healthy and beautiful. Now, dressed in her finest attire, her beauty could be seen even through the veil.
Liu Yurou covered her face shyly and said, "You naughty girl, don't make fun of me."
Night had already fallen outside the tent.
Xiao Shenxi and Xiao Yanqing walked in.
"Mother, Grandmother, the bonfire at the feast is lit, let's hurry up and set off!" Little Shen Xi's baby voice was very loud.
The little girl wore a veil, but her big, bright eyes were visible, making her very cute.

Shen Qingnian's exquisite yet elegant features perfectly complemented her luxurious attire, making her stunningly beautiful and captivating.
Song Xuan came to Shen Qingnian and took her hand, while Liu Yurou held the hands of two little ones on either side. The group, surrounded by servants, headed towards the campfire.
At the banquet, everyone was already waiting in their seats.
When Song Xuan, Shen Qingnian, and the others arrived, everyone knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."
"Greetings to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."
"Greetings to Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."
Song Xuan led Shen Qingnian to the main seat, while Liu Yurou led Xiao Shenxi and Xiao Yanqing to sit next to Wang Jiarong.
Song Xuan gestured: "Rise."
After everyone stood up and sat down, this time their gazes were not on Shen Qingnian, but on Liu Yurou.
It was unclear which family the veiled mother and daughter belonged to, but they had come with His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, and His Highness the Crown Prince had even sat down with them.
