Mrs. Su looked at her daughter with heartache.
"I can tell from the dark circles under your eyes that you haven't slept well again, but you look much better today than yesterday."
Recalling Zhao Junyue's promise in her ear, Su Yuting's cheeks flushed and her face turned slightly red.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Madam Su felt much better.
"Hmm, that's more like a bride. It seems you've come to your senses."
Ting'er, today, once you leave the Su family home, you will be the royal family's daughter-in-law.
Power is blinding, and I don't want you to lose yourself for power one day.
This marriage was initiated by the royal family; our Su family does not covet power.
If one day you are unhappy in the palace, you must tell your mother. Even if your elder brothers don't become officials, they will find a way to bring you home.
Su Yuting nodded.
"Mother, I understand."
Don't worry, your daughter won't let herself suffer.
Su Yuting was fiddling with a small object in her hand. She looked at Ningbao as she walked in and said to her mother,
"Mother, you go ahead and do your work. I want to say a few more words to Princess Ning."
Madam Su nodded, told the servants to prepare breakfast for Ningbao, and then left.
Su Yuting pulled Ningbao to sit down on the low couch.
He came last night.
Ning Bao gently pinched Su Yuting's cheek.
"Yes, I can see that. Your rosy cheeks are so pretty."
The two little girls laughed and played for a while, then Su Yuting handed a small, delicate token that she had been playing with to Ningbao.
"This is a token he gave me, which can grant me one request. Inside, there is also a divorce agreement that he has already signed."
He said that if one day he broke my heart and I became disappointed in him, I could take these things and leave the palace.
There have been too many changes in the palace. I'm afraid something might happen if I keep these things with me, but I'm also afraid my family will worry if I give them to them.
Although you are younger than me, in my heart you are more sensible and mature than me. You are also the younger sister I trust most. I want to entrust this to you for safekeeping.
Ning Bao thought for a moment and then took the token from Su Yuting.
"Okay, don't worry, Sister Yuting, I will definitely keep it safe."
If that day ever comes, don't worry, I will definitely take you away. I hope that day will never come...
As a princess, Ningbao was to enter the palace to participate in the empress's investiture ceremony and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
After having a simple breakfast at the Su residence, Ningbao watched as Su Yuting's bridal sedan chair left and then returned to the Prince's residence.
Zhao Junyue was extremely busy today. Everyone thought he wouldn't go to the Su residence to fetch the bride, but he did, riding a tall horse and wearing a bright red wedding robe like any ordinary wealthy young master...
When Ningbao returned to the mansion, Leng Xue, who had returned earlier, quickly pulled her into the inner room to help her change clothes and do her makeup.
On such an important occasion, Ningbao was supposed to wear the formal attire of a princess. By the time Leng Xue had dressed her in layers of clothing, Ningbao was almost asleep.
Urged on by Su Jingshu once again, Leng Xue finally finished her masterpiece for the day.
Su Jingshu couldn't help but admire Ning Bao as she walked out with small, quick steps.
"Hey, not bad!"
You little rascal, you never bother to dress up normally, but today you're actually quite the looker.
"I must say, Leng Xue is really nice; her hair looks really good."
......................
Zhou Chengxing didn't even go home last night. Today, only his personal guard came to deliver a message, saying that he was too busy to come back and that Su Jingshu and Ning Bao should go to the palace first.
Ning Bao and her daughter ran into Gu Yunrou as soon as they arrived at the palace gate.....................
