Seeing Mu Qianqian sitting next to Xia Siqi, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "This child, I didn't even notice her, and she actually ran here."
Mu Qianqian: ...
What did she do wrong?
She just wanted to sneak a peek at how pretty the bride was.
Consort Shu held Mu Qianqian in her arms and said softly.
"Second sister-in-law, your brother has already told everyone outside that he will be careful not to make things difficult for you during the wedding night festivities. After he sees the guests off, he will come to your room to keep you company. Your eldest brother is watching over you and will not let him get drunk."
Xia Siqi's cheeks burned, and she lowered her head shyly: "Thank you, Consort Shu."
"Now that you've married my second brother, you're my second sister-in-law."
“Then just call me by my second brother’s name, Nannan. We’re all family. There’s no need for so many formalities at home. Those are just for show.”
Xia Siqi was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, this powerful and authoritative imperial concubine, who commands the six palaces, is so easy to get along with.
Xia Siqi replied, "Okay."
She paused for a moment and then added, "From now on, we're all family."
When Consort Shu returned to the palace with Mu Qianqian and Emperor Yuanwu, it was already late at night.
I've had a busy day.
She was also a little tired.
Bin'er helped her wash up quickly, and she fell asleep in bed shortly after.
Mu Qianqian listened to her long, even breathing.
He took the seashell that Xia Siqi had given him out of his pocket.
She stared at the colorful seashell thoughtfully for a long time.
I quickly climbed out of bed.
Mu Qianqian opened the wooden box containing her treasure.
She also took out the seven-colored seashell that Emperor Yuanwu had bestowed upon her and the seven-colored seashell that Mu Junchen had given her.
Three seashells are stacked together.
Suddenly, a purple light appeared.
Realize what is about to happen.
Mu Qianqian quickly put the string of Buddhist beads that Master Wuyu had given her around her neck.
The dazzling purple light blinded her.
She felt as if she had been caught in a giant vortex.
"Junior sister, wake up, wake up! What are you doing sleeping here?"
"Junior sister, you didn't fail to ascend again, did you...?"
A familiar voice reached her ears, and Mu Qianqian slowly opened her eyes: "Senior Brother?"
"Junior sister, it looks like it's going to rain. You should go back quickly."
Mu Qianqian stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before her.
She's back in the past?
Did she really travel back in time?
She traveled back to the day she failed to ascend to immortality.
A sudden gust of wind swept through the sky.
A bolt of lightning tore a hole in the gray sky.
Mu Qianqian clearly saw it from that gap.
She saw the palace where she used to live.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Consort Lu, of noble birth and illustrious lineage, possesses a gentle and wise heart, and exemplifies virtue and grace. She is perfect in all six virtues and has long been known for her virtuous conduct. She has promoted the four teachings within the palace and is a model of motherhood for the world. By the benevolent decree of the Empress Dowager, and with this imperial edict and seal, you are hereby established as Empress. Respectfully."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
A little girl kneeling beside Consort Shu wore a string of Buddhist prayer beads around her neck.
Her innocent eyes were clear and bright as she stared at the eunuch reading the imperial edict, and she chuckled.
With the sound of hurried footsteps.
Emperor Yuanwu walked up from behind Consort Shu.
He lifted Mu Qianqian from the ground with one hand, and then helped Consort Shu up with the other.
"From this day forward, you will be my Empress." After saying this, Emperor Yuanwu paused, "I have just issued a decree to establish Mu Junhan as the Crown Prince."
