The weather is getting cooler, and the day of Hongzhou's wedding is fast approaching.
Hongli's residence was bustling with activity early in the morning. Xueying got up very early and busied herself getting ready. Today she was going to accompany Hongli to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"A-Luo, can you take a look at my complexion?" Xueying sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the pale face of the woman in the mirror. She hadn't slept all night, fearing that something might go wrong today.
A'Luo looked at her princess with heartache. She had thought that after the princess and the prince consummated their marriage, the prince would treat her better. However, she did not expect that not only did she not receive any care, but he was even more indifferent than before. "Princess, it's okay. It will be fine after you put on your makeup."
Hongli and Fucha Mingyu waited for Xueying in front of the carriage. Mingyu said in an annoyed voice, "Hongli, why hasn't Xueying arrived yet? Did you forget to send someone to inform her?"
Hongli was also displeased; she had already wasted time, and yet she dared to be late.
"Let's go first, let her take the other carriage." Just as Hongli was about to mount his horse, a splash of pink suddenly appeared before his eyes. Xueying was wearing a pink dress today, which made her fair skin look even smoother and brighter. She wore light makeup, but it did not affect her natural beauty at all.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Xueying is late." Hongli was amazed by Xueying's beauty, but he quickly looked away, ignored her, and got into the carriage.
"My sister is alright, hurry up and get in the car!" Fucha Mingyu glanced at herself, dressed in bright red, which made her look older than Ulanara Xueying, and frowned slightly.
Xueying felt wronged. It had been a long time since she had been this close to Hongli. She had finally thought she could talk to him, but he ignored her.
Throughout the journey, Hongli inquired about Mingyu's well-being, asking, "How has the family been lately? I remember you mentioned last time that you have a younger brother who is quite mischievous..." Mingyu noticed that Hongli seemed to be asking her more questions than usual today.
Xueying sat to the side, not knowing what to do. Although she had been treated coldly a lot, at this moment she felt like an extra person, watching the man she loved show affection to another woman.
Finally arriving at the palace, Xueying disregarded all formalities and was the first to alight from the carriage, the oppressive atmosphere inside making her feel suffocated. When Hongli alighted, he gave Xueying a complicated look but said nothing.
The three arrived at Changchun Palace, greeted Lanqin, and then sat down on either side.
Lanqin asked Mingyu how she was doing lately, and Mingyu responded with a smile.
"Everything in the household, big or small, is handled very well, and the sisters all get along well." Hongli chimed in, "Mingyu is very capable; she handles all the big and small matters in the household very well, so you can rest assured!" Xueying nodded in agreement.
Lanqin sized up her two daughters-in-law. Mingyu was dignified and elegant, and strikingly beautiful. Xueying was stunningly beautiful, outshining all others. One was like fire, the other like ice. Lanqin had worried that the two wouldn't get along, and that her son would be caught in the middle and suffer. But seeing the current situation, both seemed to be doing well, so she felt relieved.
Lanqin looked at Xueying with a complicated expression, then at Mingyu. As a time traveler, she even knew the fates of these two women.
This feeling is just...
Lanqin then inquired about the two women's families and received satisfactory answers. So, Lanqin led the three of them to Xianfu Palace.
