“Princess Yong’an, please come this way…” Bai Zhi called softly, smiling as she reminded the Second Princess who had almost gone the wrong way. Because of Wuxiha’s marriage, the imperial relatives, the princesses and several other princesses had been brought to the palace to see Wuxiha off.
Since marrying into the Nian family, the Second Princess has rarely had the opportunity to return. This time, she was about to visit Lanqin when she entered the palace, but she was instead assigned to Yikun Palace.
When they reached the fork in the palace, the Second Princess and the First Princess stopped. The First Princess was born to the Song family, so naturally she had to pay her respects to the Song family before entering the palace.
The eldest princess held the second princess's hand reluctantly, smiling as she said, "Sister, I need to go and pay my respects to Mother. It's rare for us sisters to get together, and this time it's Ushiha's wedding. I really don't know when we'll have another chance to meet like this. I feel so sad watching you little sisters get married one by one, let alone Father and all the mothers..."
As the eldest princess spoke, she seemed about to cry, and the second princess quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Sister, you're so kind. We are sisters, and you treated us so well in the Prince's mansion. Even though we are separated, we will always remember your kindness..."
The eldest princess then stopped crying and smiled, patted the second princess's hand, and said softly, "The one who is most reluctant to see Wuxiha get married this time is Consort Xi. I will definitely spend more time with Consort Xi this time..." After saying that, the eldest princess gave the second princess a meaningful look before reluctantly going to Xianfu Palace.
Seeing that the Second Princess was standing still, Bai Zhi stepped forward and whispered a reminder: "Princess, the Imperial Concubine is still waiting for you..."
The second princess suddenly realized what was happening and quickly followed Bai Zhi to Yikun Palace.
Consort Nian knew that the Second Princess was coming, so she waited for her in the front hall.
As soon as the Second Princess entered the room, several maids hurriedly greeted her with smiles: "This servant greets Princess Yong'an!"
The Second Princess was somewhat dazed, not yet accustomed to such an address. Looking at Consort Nian sitting in front, she took a deep breath, walked over respectfully, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times in a grand gesture of respect: "Greetings, Your Highness, may Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace..."
Consort Nian smiled and personally came down, helping the Second Princess to her feet. She carefully examined the Second Princess and led her to sit down with a beaming smile. Bai Zhi took the tea set from the maid and carefully brewed a cup of tea for Consort Nian and the Second Princess before quietly stepping aside.
Consort Nian held the Second Princess's hand warmly and wouldn't let go. The Second Princess was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so she could only laugh awkwardly.
Consort Nian noticed the Second Princess's hesitation and enthusiastically pushed the pastries and tea in front of her, saying, "You...look how happy I am! Come, come...you must be hungry after your long journey to the palace! Have some pastries!"
The second princess just managed to free her hand, smiled faintly, symbolically picked up a piece of pastry, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness..."
Consort Nian smiled and deliberately scolded, "We're all family, why are you being so polite?" The Second Princess nodded and smiled. Yes! Ever since she married the second son of the eldest son of the Nian family, she was practically a member of the Nian family.
Thinking of this, the Second Princess felt a little relieved: "I am deeply grateful for the Imperial Concubine's kindness, but I, Elanzhu, dare not accept such praise..."
Consort Nian had something she wanted to say to the Second Princess, so she gestured to Bai Zhi with her eyes, and Bai Zhi immediately led her maids away.
The second princess was startled, and then she realized what was going on.
As expected, Consort Nian warmly took the Second Princess's hand again, speaking softly.
"Elanzhu, you have been married to my nephew for six years and have two children. Have you ever thought about their future?" Lady Nian said.
