  "The princess, Xun's sister seeks an audience." The little maid who transmitted the message said softly.

  I nodded, indicating that she should invite Xun Yun to come in. I knew why Xun Yun had come to my Returning Ink Pavilion at this moment, and I also understood their difficulties. Otherwise, why would Xun Yun have come personally to invite me?

  Xun Yun entered the door, respectfully saluted me and said lightly: "Princess, just now a eunuch from the palace came to report that His Highness has left Yu Shun Hall, after bidding farewell to the Emperor he will take the imperial carriage back to the Wang Fu. According to the speed of the messenger, it is likely that His Highness is already on his way back, so Qin Zong Guan asked Xun Yun to come and invite Your Highness to the front hall."

  I didn't mean to make things difficult for them, so I got up and brought Xiao Ying directly to the front hall. Qin An must have taken my feelings into consideration and carefully calculated the time, which is why I arrived at the front hall not long after. Soon, I heard the announcement that Nan Chengyao had arrived.

  I watched him getting closer and closer in the crowd, with a beautiful woman behind him who was elegant and refined, with an extremely faint smile.

  "Third Brother, this Third Prince's residence is truly beautiful, just like a paradise. I'm sure you'll be blessed with good fortune in the future." As they approached, before I could even greet South Chengyao, Princess Yiyang had already smiled and spoken up, not waiting for South Chengyao to respond, she turned her head towards me and laughed: "Third Sister-in-law, living in this divine residence every day is truly enviable."

  I smiled faintly: "The princess is joking, the princess lives in the Zi Jing Palace, with a magnificent demeanor, how can it be compared to the Three Kings' Mansion?"

  Yiyang Princess smiled and didn't say anything else. It was Du Ruyin who walked out from behind Nan Chengyao's back, wearing a pink dress, with her hair slightly lowered, and she knelt down in front of me, performing a proper and respectful greeting: "Commoner girl Du Ruyin has seen the three princesses."

  "Yi Yang Gong Zhu said with some annoyance to Du Ru Yin: "Ru Yin, you really are something. I've told you many times before, from now on, you and my third sister-in-law will be one family, so why still insist on calling yourself 'minu' (a humble term for a woman) and being so distant? Your body isn't well, don't keep kneeling up and down like that. Just call her 'sister' - even when we were in the palace, my third brother didn't want you to perform these empty courtesies. And now that we're back home, it's even more unnecessary! Besides, my third sister-in-law is a reasonable person, she won't mind these things at all, right, Third Sister-in-law?"

  I still smiled lightly, but didn't pay attention to Princess Yi Yang, nor did I reach out to help Du Ru Yin. Instead, I just looked at her and said with a faint smile: "Miss Du, please get up. As the princess just said, you are the side queen of the third prince who has not yet entered the palace, there is no need to show such great courtesy to me."

  But Du Ruyin did not get up, her eyes slightly lowered, and she replied with courtesy and humility: "Even if there is an imperial edict granting marriage, and the princess's favor, after all, I have not yet entered the palace, and now I am only of humble status, and etiquette cannot be abandoned."

  As she spoke, she bowed her head towards me with a gentle and elegant movement, revealing half of her slender neck, which was smooth as jade and radiant with a soft glow.

  I smiled slightly: "Just now, I heard what Princess Yi Yang said. In the palace, you didn't use these empty courtesies with the three princes. Now, on the first day of entering the manor, you've shown me such great courtesy. How can I bear it? Miss Du, please get up quickly."

  Du Ruyin's face changed slightly upon hearing this, her pretty face gradually turning pale, and she unconsciously bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her sparkling eyes were like those of a startled deer, filled with shyness and panic, as she looked to Nan Xiangyao for help.

  Delicate and weak, I see it as lovely, Nan Cheng Yao is no exception either

  Although he didn't directly reach out to help Du Ruyin, he spoke in a gentle voice and comforted her: "Get up, Princess Wang was never one to be bound by these empty formalities, you'll understand as time goes on."

  At his words, naturally a quick-witted maid and eunuch came forward to help Du Ruyin up. Du Ruyin still lightly bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, then looked at me timidly with a glance, before softly speaking: "Ruyin just didn't want to, before the wedding, cause trouble for Your Highness and stir up gossip, I don't know if it would make the princess unhappy."

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
