With the wedding date drawing ever closer, the Empress Dowager sent several matrons to teach Heyue the proper etiquette for the royal family.
They were also worried that Heyue was too old to handle the small town and wouldn't be able to fulfill her role as the primary consort.
The palace maids are different from the maids in the mansions. They are truly strict and give no leeway. No matter what your status is, you must obey. If you don't learn well, they will not show you any mercy.
While Heyue appeared outwardly obedient but inwardly cursed, the wedding day quietly arrived.

The person in front of me still looks like a little kid, but she's already getting married.
Thinking about Heyue makes me sigh with frustration.
I never imagined she would get married so early in her life.
