They all knew that Emperor Yong Ping only had this one sister and doted on her endlessly.
Even if it was just to show that he was correct in politics, he had to show off his presence. Those who had money had to pay, and those who didnât had to pay. All those who were famous in the harem had come to the Peaceful Life Palace.
Noble Consort Liuâs former palace had already been sealed off by the late Emperor, and nothing changed after Emperor Yong Ping ascended the throne. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nothing had changed inside. There were only a few palace maids who were cleaning the place.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng also knew the Emperorâs thoughts, so she did not have the idea of marrying from the palace where she grew up. Instead, she chose the side hall of the Empress Dowager. After Noble Consort Liuâs death, the Grand Empress Dowager had always treated the three siblings with care. In the future, Little Seventeen would have to be raised by the Grand Empress Dowagerâs side. The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng marrying from the Peaceful Life Palace was to show everyone that Emperor Yong Ping and his sister were not ungrateful. On the other hand, it was also to acknowledge the Grand Empress Dowagerâs status.
In fact, in the past year, the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had been getting close to the Pan Familyâs Young Lady for the sake of the Empress Dowagerâs reputation.
Even if they sat in the same place, their lips would not match.
It wasnât that Lady Panâs temperament wasnât good, but it was just that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was too free. Ordinary people couldnât handle such a scene. Her status was there, and she was born with an overbearing attitude. The Pan familyâs young mistress was not a lively and cheerful person. She was very reserved and rigid. They had been together for more than a year, and they had always been together. The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng just could not tell that they were congenial. She always felt that she was in a different state from Xiao Baoxin. They knew what each other meant with a glance, and they did not need to use their brains to say anything.
Actually, it was not only the Pan Familyâs Lil âMiss who was reserved. The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was also very reserved when speaking up for her, alright?
For the sake of the Empress Dowager, she had to be on good terms with the Pan family. She also did not want to scare the Pan familyâs little miss.
However, he was truly tired.
Although Lady Pan Shisan and Lady Fifteen were both Di daughters, they were from a small family and did not have the confidence of a big family. They had always treated the Eldest Princess with respect. They had long heard of the Eldest Princessâs valiant history and did not dare to be disrespectful. They were really afraid of being beaten up.
They also knew that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was trying to befriend the Pan family, and they also wanted to befriend the Eldest Princess of Xuanchengâ¦
However, it was still the same sentence. They were not on the same path. They could not go to the same place no matter what. They were awkward everywhere. They were only passable on the surface. If they really wanted to be friends, they were really not.
In the Pan family, including Pan Shiniiniang who was now a virtuous consort in the palace, the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng and Pan Shuoâs younger sister Pan Jiuniang could still be considered to be together. After all, she was Pan Shuoâs sister, so their personalities were somewhat similar. They were both a little careless and did not know how to look at expressions. Instead, they entered the eyes of the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had her makeup done, and she had invited all the young ladies of the Pan family who she could talk to but could not.
At the very least, the empress dowager was so happy that her face was like a flower.
On the other hand, Consort Pan Xian was three months pregnant, so she should be able to rest assured. However, he still visited the Peaceful Life Palace every day. He didnât even care about being pampered. He held his stomach and trembled. He didnât pay attention to what was going on outside the window and focused on nurturing the fetus.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had her makeup done, and Consort Pan Xian had given her many things. She really hadnât shown up, and had sneaked into the house early in the morning. She had done what she needed to do, and she didnât want to show it to anyone.
At that time, if it wasnât for the fact that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was about to get married, she wouldnât have been able to get up early in the morning. Others couldnât even look at it.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was speechless, but when she thought of the deaths in the palace one after another, she decided to forget it. Safety first. She followed Consort Pan Xian back to the side hall where she lived before turning back to prepare for the morning reception.
Empress Xiao arrived at the Peaceful Life Palace after Si.
After putting makeup on the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she chatted with the Pan familyâs young ladies for a while before turning to Xiao Baoxin.
This was the first time Xiao Baoxin had seen Empress Xiao since she lost her father and suffered a second miscarriage.
She wore a thin layer of makeup and dressed elegantly. Her complexion was still alright, but her entire person had calmed down. She was no longer as straightforward as before, only remaining dignified and imposing.
Even though he was still smiling and talking in the past, the smile never reached her eyes.
As soon as she got close, Xiao Baoxin felt a strong sense of sadness rush towards her without even touching her skin, making her feel uncomfortable.
âLong time no see, sister-in-law.â
âThatâs right. How can this person look better with a big belly than when we werenât pregnant?âChu Lingzi sat at the side, feeling a little indignant. She was also five months pregnant and had gained a lot of weight. Her double chin was protruding and her face was sallow.
He couldnât bear to see Xiao Baoxinâs radiant face, but he was looking for an ally.
âIâm so angry. Do you think my appearance has been affected because Iâve been married to Silang for too long?âChu Lingzi touched her face nervously.â They say that pregnant women canât see ugly things, but Silang is my husband. I canât not see him.â I always feel that Iâve been pulled down by him.â
Even the dignified and steady Empress Xiao couldnât help but laugh.
âWhat are you chewing on? Donât spout nonsense. If the Xi family heard you, they wouldnât be angry.â
Xiao Baoxin laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.âT donât know about that. Anyway, my husband is good-looking. I donât know if he will be affected.â âI knew it. I donât have anything in common with you!â Chu Lingzi was furious.â
The problem was that she could not find anyone she could talk to.
Emperor Yong Ping of the Empress was a handsome man, and Xiao Bao Shu, who the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was going to marry, was Xiao Bao Xinâs younger brother. How could his appearance be bad?
âWhich family did Pan Jiuniang marry into? What does her husband look like?â Empress Xiao couldnât help but pull out a handkerchief to cover her mouth, her voice distorted,âHe married the city gateâs commandant, Hu Qi. I heard that Supervisor Pan asked the late emperor to choose him. It turned out that General Fubo was appointed. He was not good-lookingâ¦You must be rough and brave.â Chu Lingzi hesitated for a moment, but she didnât go up to strike up a conversation.
She couldnât open her mouth.âI heard that your husband and my husband arenât very good-looking. Can we talk about the same thing? Or did you become ugly when you were pregnant?â Would the child be ugly too?
Donât look down on Empress Dowager Shoukang, it was easy for a fight to break up.
The people that the Eldest Princess of Xuan City could befriend were not people with good tempers.
âSister-in-law is born beautiful. Of course, Sixth Mother is also beautiful⦠However, everyoneâs reaction during pregnancy is different. I think there are some who become prettier while pregnant, and there are also some who change their faces.âEmpress Xiao paused and said faintly,â
âWhen I was pregnant, I didnât even dare to look at myself in the mirror. I was afraid that I would scare myself. You didnât see it, but it was really ugly.â
