"I was born a few years late, yet the Imperial Noble Consort beat me to it and took the position of Imperial Noble Consort."
Palace maid: "..."
March 10
As dawn broke, Xu Lejin was awakened from her sleep by Ruhua and Nongying. After bathing, dressing, and changing, it was already an hour later.
"Your Highness looks truly beautiful in this Imperial Noble Consort's court robe. Although the embroidery on the robe isn't phoenix and peony, it's quite similar. Among all birds, the blue phoenix is second only to the phoenix, and peonies and peonies look indistinguishable from each other from a distance."
“We servants think that this dress further accentuates Your Highness’s elegance, nobility, and unparalleled grace.”
They utter beautiful words like "entering the painting" and "playing with shadows" as if they were free.
Xu Lejin looked at herself in the bronze mirror, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "You two, your little mouths are as sweet as honey, they've melted my heart."

"Issuance of the title."
Xu Lejin took the golden book from the female official and handed it to Ruhua, who was standing to the side.
"salute,"
Xu Lejin said, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
Then he stood up.
“Perform the six-fold solemnity, three-kneeling, and three-bowing ceremony.”
