The grand wedding of Yuer and the Crown Prince was held as scheduled, with all the splendor on display, reaching a peak of prosperity.

  With that unprecedented wedding ceremony, the honor and prestige of the Murong family became unshakeable.

  I sit quietly, looking at myself in the copper mirror with a faintly swept eyebrow, and let the sparse shadow behind me dress me up with all its might.

  "Miss, would you like another orchid on your hair?" She examined me carefully, tilting her head in thought.

  I couldnt help but laugh and shake my head: "No need, youve already dressed me up to the point where I can barely recognize myself."

  She smiled and curved her eyes: "Thats because Miss was born with a natural beauty, if it were someone else, I wouldnt have such great skills."

  As she spoke, she took out a set of clothes that had been prepared long ago and was about to help me change into them.

  That was a bright yellow brocade with phoenix patterns, under which was a pale green gauze skirt with scattered flowers, every stitch and thread showing dignity and luxury, this was one of the dowries my mother had personally prepared for me.

  However, not everyone can afford such a grand gesture.

  I hesitated for a moment and said: "Shuying, change into another one."

  "Miss, I know youve never been fond of these bright colors, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and the first family banquet hosted by His Majesty since your marriage to the Third Prince. The old master and mistress, Miss Huan, as well as the princes, princesses, and consorts from the palace will all be attending. You cant possibly go looking like you do on ordinary days with no makeup or adornments."

  I smiled and shook my head, if it were really a white dress to enter the palace, Im afraid that would be truly out of place, wanting not to attract attention wouldnt work: "You go find that pale pink smoke gauze skirt I wore on the day of my return home."

  Although she was somewhat reluctant, Shuying still carefully helped me change into my new clothes. Once everything was ready, she looked me up and down before nodding in satisfaction: "Miss is a natural beauty, you look good in anything, if only you would wear that other dress, Im sure you could surpass everyone else."

  I couldnt help but burst out laughing, my loose shadow can even turn black into white.

  I naturally know that I dont look bad, but among the women in the palace, which one is not beautiful? Not to mention Huaier and Empress Qing, who are already famous in the capital.

  Im attending a banquet today, just hoping not to be impolite and not draw attention from others.

  Entering the palace with Nan Chongyao, we arrived at Qinghe Hall. The Emperor had yet to arrive, and only a group of imperial princes were present.

  I saw her at a glance in the crowd, and among the purple and red clothes, only she dared to wear such a moon-white light gauze, elegant as a fairy in the moon, with an expression of subtle pride on her face, yet beautiful enough to shock my heart.

  Her waist was tied with a golden silk soft smoke gauze, which had a auspicious cloud pattern, covering her slightly bulging belly, and in this way, the originally too plain clothes would not look too out of place.

  I couldnt help but smile, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince treats her extremely well, and even in such a setting, he indulges her willfulness.

  The young prince also saw us in the crowd, his gaze never leaving ours, yet he didnt come over, still quietly accompanying the crown prince with perfect demeanor.

  The crown prince noticed her gaze and smiled slightly, getting up with her and walking towards us: "Third brother, youve arrived."

  Nan Chengyaos lips curled into a careless smile, and he slightly bowed his head in greeting, his posture lazy yet somehow elegant: "Ive seen the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess."

  I followed him and bowed down, while the prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to help us up: "As a family, lets not bother with these empty formalities."

  I looked up and saw that Nan Chengmo did not have the outstanding appearance of his younger brother, but he appeared to be gentle and kind, filial and courteous, with a polite and even tone.

  I once heard my father say privately to several older brothers that if he were to rule the world, Nan Chong would be a benevolent ruler. However, in times of chaos, he was too kind and lacked the commanding presence needed to conquer the land.

  Nan Chengyao still smiled carelessly and remained noncommittal.

  I let out a faint sigh in my heart, the difference between a prosperous and chaotic world may largely depend on just one thought from this person before me.

  Nan Cheng Mo Xun seemed to have long been accustomed to his younger brothers idle and careless nature, not thinking much of it. He turned to me with a warm smile and said: "Ive heard about the Third Princess from Xiao Yu before, and today I finally have the pleasure of meeting her. Standing together with my third brother, you two truly make a perfect pair."

  I smiled warmly and returned the courtesy: "Your Highness is too kind."

  Just as they were speaking, the eunuchs voice was heard outside the palace: "The Emperor has arrived, and the Honorable Consort is here."

  There was a faint scent of fragrance in the air, and the magnificent Queen Cui led the Emperor into the Qinghe Hall with elegance.
