Summer was drawing to a close, and Bechuk's wedding day finally arrived. Lanqin kept telling herself to hold back and not show her sadness in front of Bechuk, but on the day of Bechuk's wedding, Lanqin hid in her room and cried uncontrollably.
Baoqin and Yuxiao heard Lanqin sobbing inside the house and couldn't bear to disturb her, so they stayed outside to let Lanqin vent her emotions. After all, it would be difficult for Lanqin to see Biechuke again after this separation.
Just then, Princesses Qing Le, Qing An, and Qing Shun arrived as promised and came to Changchun Palace together.
Baoqin asked in surprise, "Why are the three princesses here? Why didn't they go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to watch the wedding ceremony of Princess Gulun?"
Qing'an and Qing Le exchanged a worried glance and asked softly, "We were really worried about Your Highness, so we came to check on you..."
Qing Shun nodded in agreement, saying, "Your Majesty and Princess Gulun have a deep bond. Your Majesty must be very reluctant to see Princess Gulun get married this time. As her mother, not being able to personally send her off must be very disheartening. We thought we would come to keep Your Majesty company, perhaps to ease your pain of missing your daughter..."
Baoqin and Yuxiao's eyes reddened with emotion. They pointed softly into the room and said, "You've come at the right time. We didn't know how to go in and persuade Her Majesty. She's been hiding inside since this morning, crying for a long time..."
Yu Xiao said anxiously, "We're worried, but there's nothing we can do. Please think of a way to comfort Her Majesty..."
Qing Le, Qing Shun, and Qing An have been living with Lan Qin for over two months. During this time, Lan Qin has treated them as her own children, taking meticulous care of them in every aspect of their lives, from food and drink to daily routines. The three princesses are deeply moved, finding a sense of love and tenderness in Lan Qin, and are extremely grateful to her.
Hearing that Lanqin was grieving alone in her room, the three princesses were immediately glad that they hadn't gone to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to watch the commotion, but instead had come to Changchun Palace to keep Lanqin company. Baoqin and Yuxiao knocked on the door, and Lanqin only slowly opened it when she heard that it was Princess Qingle, Princess Qing'an, and Princess Qingshun.
The three of them crowded around her. Lanqin didn't have time to speak as the three of them sat down on either side of her, pouring her tea and massaging her back and legs. Lanqin exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you all so enthusiastic today? Instead of going to see the excitement, what are you doing in my deserted Changchun Palace..."
Qing Le smiled at Lan Qin, pouting, and said, "Who says Changchun Palace is cold and desolate? In Qing Le's opinion, the warmest place in the entire palace is Your Majesty's Changchun Palace..."
Qing'an handed the teacup to Lanqin and chimed in, "Qing Le is right, we are all willing to accompany Your Highness..."
Qing Shun nodded in agreement, blinked her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty is like my mother. I feel that being able to stay by Your Majesty's side is happier than anything else... as long as Your Majesty doesn't mind..."
Lanqin was instantly amused by the three princesses and said with a smile, "Thank you..." The clever Lanqin saw through their little scheme at a glance, but she was still moved and couldn't help but murmur, "I am already very satisfied with your filial piety..."
Qing Le quickly wiped away Lan Qin's tears and comforted her, "Your Majesty, we all know that Princess Gulun is getting married, and Your Majesty is reluctant to part with her. But Your Majesty, please don't be sad. The three of us sisters will stay by Your Majesty's side, just like Princess Gulun did..."
Qing'an also sighed, "Although we haven't been by Your Majesty's side for long, Your Majesty's kindness and warmth have already made us feel incredibly happy. Qing'an only wishes to stay by Your Majesty's side until she gets married, even if it means replacing Princess Gulun, as long as Your Majesty can be a little happier..."
Upon hearing this, Lanqin could no longer hold back and embraced the three princesses, weeping again. This time, however, it wasn't tears of sorrow, but tears of joy. Between sobs and laughter, Lanqin said, "Having the three of you by my side is my greatest fortune. From now on, you are my daughters, and I am your mother..."
