After entering the Yuanmingyuan, Lanqin went straight to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. Her first intention was to see her two daughters, as they were about to face the prospect of choosing husbands and getting married.
Before Lanqin arrived, someone had already been sent to deliver a message, saying that she would come today to bring them leather cloaks.
"Princess, why are you up so early?" Zi Dai started preparing clothes and jewelry for Fucha Mingyu early in the morning, helping her to get ready.
"Isn't Consort Niu coming to deliver a fur cloak today?" Fucha Mingyu said, sitting upright in front of her dressing table, wearing a light purple long robe and cotton skirt.
"Oh, so Princess is going to meet her future mother-in-law. Does this mean she should start getting to know her properly?" Zi Dai said, looking at Ming Yu's slightly flushed face.
"You silly girl, are you making fun of me? The concubine made me a fur cloak, shouldn't I have gotten up earlier to wait for her? If she comes all at once, it would be so bad if we slept until after dawn as usual." Mingyu said, twirling a strand of hair hanging down her chest.
“Yes, then I’ll style your hair into a pretty bun, prettier than that Ulanara Xueying’s,” Zi Dai pouted.
Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Why are you bringing up Xueying out of the blue, you little girl?"
In fact, since the four girls moved into Changchun Xianguan, they have seen each other almost every day and gradually become familiar with each other. On weekdays, the four girls often sit together to chat, drink tea, read books, and talk about plays. Hongli and Hongzhou do not come every day, but they come over almost every few days to accompany the four of them to play in Yuanmingyuan.
Gradually, the six of them saw each other almost every day, and if they didn't see each other for a day, they would feel a little uncomfortable.
Because of her outstanding appearance, Xueying often behaved in unexpected ways, which made Fucha Mingyu feel a little displeased. However, she hid this displeasure deep in her heart, and no one noticed, except for her personal maid, Zidai.
“Princess, you are clearly the future principal wife of the Fourth Prince, so this will be your future villa. She is just the Fujin's niece, she is an outsider at all,” Zi Dai said.
Mingyu smiled and said, "Didn't you realize that the Fifth Prince has feelings for her?"
“So what? How can the Fifth Prince’s birth mother compare to Consort Niu? Therefore, he cannot compare to the Fourth Prince either, so naturally she cannot compare to you,” Zi Dai said.
“Alright, hurry up and comb your hair! Xueying’s color is indeed charming, but a woman’s best qualities are not her appearance, but her family background and temperament. She spends all her time with the Third Princess, so it seems she likes her.” Mingyu said.
“Yes, this Third Princess, if you ask me, how come she has no manners at all?” Zi Dai said in a low voice.
"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and comb my hair. No matter what, the Third Princess will eventually get married. We don't need to worry about her. As for Xueying, if she really becomes the Fifth Prince's legal wife, then we'll still be sisters-in-law," Mingyu said.
“Yes, that’s why I will do my best to make you more beautiful than her today!” Zi Dai said, and then began to comb Fucha Mingyu’s hair.
Meanwhile, Ulanara Xueying had also gotten up. She knew that Lanqin was coming today, so she got up earlier than usual.
"Princess, what color clothes would you like to wear today?" A'luo asked, turning over Xueying's clothes in front of the cabinet.
"Let's keep things simple today," Xueying said. "I noticed that Mingyu's maid seems quite unhappy with me. If I steal her thunder again today, I'm afraid I'll get a dirty look from her again."
