Since using the beauty cream, Ms. Nian has become radiant, her skin has become firmer and more rosy, and her body has gradually recovered.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Lady Nian was very satisfied. She said to Cuiling, "You and Baizhi deserve the most credit for my quick recovery!"
Cui Ling respectfully replied, "It's because Your Highness is in a good mood that you look so radiant. I was just adding to your beauty. Your Highness is already as beautiful as a fairy. The Emperor was quite amazed by your appearance back then. Moreover, Your Highness is still the most beautiful woman in the palace."
Nian touched her smooth face and murmured, "Back then... did you also think that everything was just a memory?"
Startled, Cui Ling quickly lowered her head and said urgently, "Your Majesty, what this servant means is that Your Majesty can still regain the Emperor's favor. Not only has Your Majesty regained your beauty, but you are also devoted to the Emperor. How could the Emperor forget Your Majesty's affection..."
Lady Nian sighed, sat down in front of the dressing table, and forced a smile, saying, "You're right, I can't be so discouraged..." With that, she picked up a comb and handed it to Cuiling, saying, "Help me with my hair and makeup. I'm going to pay my respects to the Emperor! Now that I've regained my appearance, shouldn't the Emperor see me..."
Cui Ling was taken aback, but quickly stood up happily and began to carefully dress up Nian Shi.
"Your Majesty, the palanquin is ready. You may depart now. His Majesty is reviewing memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He must be hungry now. It would be perfect if Your Majesty could bring him some refreshments..." Cui Ling carefully helped the elegant and graceful Lady Nian out of the palace, prepared various refreshments for her, and followed her to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
After sitting for several hours, the Fourth Prince suddenly felt tired and extremely hungry. He stretched and called out to Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng trotted over and bowed to wait. The Fourth Prince patted his stomach: "Does the Imperial Kitchen have any snacks? I'm feeling a bit hungry..."
"Alright, this servant will go right away..." Before Su Peisheng could finish speaking, Madam Nian strode in and said with a smile, "Is Your Majesty hungry? Your Majesty, I've come at the perfect time. I've specially prepared some snacks for Your Majesty. I wonder if they suit Your Majesty's taste..."
Ms. Nian glanced at Su Peisheng, who tactfully withdrew. Cuiling put down her snacks and followed her out.
Having not seen her for several days, Fourth Master felt as if he had never seen Lady Nian again. Thinking of her haggard and deranged appearance on her bedside before, completely different from her current state, he looked her up and down, somewhat surprised.
Seeing the surprise in the Fourth Prince's eyes, Lady Nian was secretly delighted. She slowly approached him and said with a charming smile, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?"
The Fourth Prince laughed and said, "I haven't seen the Imperial Concubine for many days, and I am indeed quite pleasantly surprised today..."
Lady Nian smiled shyly and personally carried the pastries to the Fourth Prince's desk.
The Fourth Prince asked, "How is the Imperial Concubine's health lately?"
Lady Nian smiled and said, "I was so grieving the loss of my son that I couldn't accept it for a while, which was why Your Majesty's efforts to help me were in vain. But now I understand that this is all my fate. Your Majesty is the one destined for me, and I should not wallow in grief."
The Fourth Prince nodded slightly, and Lady Nian nodded sweetly, saying, "With Your Majesty's love, I am no longer afraid. Children... will come!"
Since Hongfu's passing, Lady Nian had been in a daze. Now that the Fourth Prince saw Lady Nian had cheered up, he was also pleased. "I am very gratified that you can think this way..." the Fourth Prince said slowly.
