Chapter 66 Extra 3, Duan Yan
"Mom, how about it? Am I okay wearing this? Am I decent?" Duan Yan stared at her mother and asked nervously.
It’s no wonder she’s so nervous, this time she’s going to the palace to meet the queen.
"Dignified and appropriate."
Duan's mother looked at her daughter with a smile and nodded uncontrollably.
She was a traditional backyard woman, weak in nature, always pampered and loved by her husband, and she had no real ability. After her husband's death, they were left alone, orphaned and widowed, to be bullied by others.
She couldn't stand up on her own, but she gave birth to a daughter who could stand up on her own.
He drove away all the uncles and aunts who came to the house to cause trouble and wanted to divide the family business, took over the family shop business, and supported their family with his small body.
Because of my identity as a girl doing business, I don’t know how much gossip I have suffered from outsiders and how much injustice I have endured.
Now, my daughter has made friends with the girl from the Nan family, and her business is booming. The girl from the Nan family has even become the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Those hard days are finally over.
Looking at her graceful and beautiful daughter with clear eyes and eyebrows, Duan's mother felt satisfied.
"This palace has many rules. You should listen to the instructions of the palace attendants and don't run around."
Even though her daughter has become the head of the family, Duan's mother is still worried. After all, she understands her own family affairs. No matter how mature and steady her daughter appears to be in public, she is still jumpy in front of people she knows.
"I understand, mother!" Duan Yan said helplessly. She was not a person who didn't know what to do. Even if she had a good relationship with Qiao Qiao, she couldn't lose her manners now that she was the queen.
Although their awe of feudal imperial power was not as strong as that of the people of the Great Zhou, they still felt a little timid when they saw the magnificent and solemn imperial palace.
The palace attendant sent to escort the girl was Ming He, who had seen her several times before and was quite familiar with her. Seeing the usually outgoing Miss Duan showing a rare timid look, she couldn't help but comfort her:
"Girl, don't be afraid. There are only two masters in this palace: His Majesty and His Majesty." So there is no need to worry about offending anyone.
After hearing Minghe's words, Duan Yan felt relieved. Thinking of the girl she hadn't seen for a long time, she felt anticipation in her heart.
Kunning Palace was the residence of successive empresses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was also magnificent and grand. Before the girl even entered the palace, Gu Qiao had already sent people to renovate the entire palace.
Many flowers and plants were added to the outer courtyard, and a plum forest was added to the backyard. The palace servants took good care of it, and even in summer, it was a beautiful sight of colorful flowers.
Duan Yan held her breath, watched Minghe lift the pearl curtain, and followed her into the hall.
There was ice in the hall, and a cool breeze swept over, completely removing the summer heat.
Duan Yan couldn't help but look at the familiar friend as she walked forward.
The girl at the top was as stunning as when I first met her. The dress she was wearing was also familiar. She had designed it herself, had it made, and then sent it to the Nan Mansion.
There was still that familiar intimacy and smile in those bright eyes.
Duan Yan's heart, which had been beating fast, suddenly calmed down. There was some warmth in her eyes, but a smile appeared on her face.
The girl helped her up while she was bowing, and as always, with a smile, asked her about her business these days and what interesting things she had encountered, as if she had never felt any alienation or arrogance towards her because of her change in status.
Duan Yan's eyes were a little hot, but she had a big smile on her face.
very nice.
This was the first friend she made in this ancient world, the first girl who did not look down on her for doing business as a woman.
I just hope she has a peaceful and happy life.
