  Lan Xiang stared at her blankly, and it wasn't until after a while that she found her voice again: "You're right." Ah, yes, she was originally a carefree person, but only because of her love for him did she become so hard on herself. Did she owe him anything just because she loved him? Yet due to her own cowardice, she had put heavy shackles on herself.

  When you love someone, you become hesitant and fearful of making even the slightest mistake.

  "Mengmeng, you woke me up." She stretched out her hand and grasped Xia Tianmeng's hand, laughing wildly and unrestrainedly. "Liking him is my own business, he can choose to accept or reject it, but the only thing he cannot do is make me anxious and worried. Maybe liking him is something I cannot change, but... at least I have the choice to continue or end it."

  Time is the best medicine, even the deepest emotions will be ground into another shape by time.

  Maybe she loves him now, this year, next year, but what about five years from now? Or ten?

  Perhaps the person who was once cherished has been pushed away by time and has become a past memory.

  "We don't have to change ourselves for others." Xia Tianmeng smiled as she looked into her sparkling eyes, "We don't have to compromise ourselves for others. Even if you have so many flaws now, there will still be someone who likes you not just because of your good points."

  What are you like now? Are you still yourself after changing? Do you like that version of yourself?

  The original host changed too much for Nan Qi, in terms of her personality. She didn't know what kind of woman Nan Qi liked, she just thought that since he was as gentle as jade, he should be matched with a peerless beauty who was skilled in music, chess, books, paintings, poetry and songs. But in the end, he chose to be with a woman who had no rules, no etiquette, and no norms.

  He said that Xia Tian Meng was no different from other women, with the same rigid etiquette and rules, making people feel annoyed.

  The host worked hard to make himself excellent, but what he got was just an evaluation of being a "copy".

  In the summer, Moe's smile deepened at the corners of his mouth. He wasn't particularly fond of it, was he? Well, let him see what's special then.

  Dividing line----

  "Third Miss, this is the Second Mistress who has sent me to deliver these clothes." The maid couldn't help but mutter under her breath as she handed them over on bended knee, thinking that the Second Mistress was indeed not strict with Third Miss at all, even when Third Miss had committed several transgressions.

  Ye Feng looked at Qing Luan as she took the clothes, directly shaking them out to inspect. The fabric was smooth, and one could tell it was a fine product at a glance. On the light pink satin, elegant lotus flowers were embroidered, looking very refined. However, such clothing was something that basically all young ladies from noble families in the capital could wear, and wearing it wouldn't make her stand out.

  "Hmph." Ye Lianfeng coldly smiled and tossed her clothes to the maid, "I thought it was good clothing, but it turns out it's just this kind of stuff. Wearing it out is like asking me to be a foil for Night Purple Sui?" She knew that Second Madam would not really treat her well, after all, which concubine would like the child of the legitimate wife? She still suspected that the original owner's youthful foolishness was due to her machinations.

  That girl was stunned for a moment when her clothes were thrown in her face, and then she heard Ye Ruoxue say such words and couldn't help but feel suffocated in her heart. The second aunt had never been harsh to the third miss before, nor did she know what was wrong with the third miss, from the moment she woke up, she had been confronting the second aunt! Now she still says such things!

  "Miss, Second Madam probably didn't mean it that way..." Even if Second Madam did mean it that way, after all, the rear courtyard of the Wang Manor is under her control now. If Miss directly clashes with her like this, she'll only be making things inconvenient for herself!

  At night, as cold as frost, she let out a cold hum and directly shouted at the maid, "Get out!" She saw the second aunt's person and thought of the second aunt giving herself a show in front of her father. White lotus flower! Still pretending to be pitiful!

  The maid felt humiliated in her heart and no longer persuaded, directly hugging her clothes and leaving.

  The people in the courtyard saw that Liu Xue, the second maid of the second lady, was leaving like this, and they all blamed Ye Ruxue in their hearts. The third miss and the second lady had a bad relationship, but it was these slaves who suffered! The second lady was in charge of the house, and if they offended her, the people in the mansion would come to humiliate them in order to curry favor with the second lady!

  These things were naturally unknown to Ye Feng, who thought she had crossed into the body of a foolish and bullied weak-minded young lady. Above her was an unscrupulous old father, as well as the vicious and evil concubine, Hei Lianhua. She also had sisters with poor relationships and short-sightedness, and below her were disloyal servants. Surrounded by troubles on all sides. And her existence was to break this vicious cycle, letting these wicked people receive their due retribution!

  She saw Qing Luan's worried face, but in her heart, she felt that Qing Luan was really too timid. If it weren't for the fact that Qing Luan was loyal, she wouldn't have kept her around either. Never mind, wait until later to find a suitable replacement and then get rid of Qing Luan.

  The green horn that worried about the young lady at home didn't know she had been abandoned, and couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, why must you quarrel with the second madam like this? The prince hasn't said anything..." If the prince unconditionally supported the miss, then it would be fine. However, the prince also doted on the second madam, and the miss quarreling with the second madam was just making the prince think that the miss didn't understand things! After all, no matter whether the second madam had malicious intentions towards the miss or not, on the surface she hadn't been biased against the miss.

  The night frost couldn't help but wave her hand: "No need to say more. I already knew we can't rely on her, fortunately Miss has prepared clothes." The imperial banquet is such an important occasion, it's only natural that she would stand in front of people with a brand new identity, and she must have made preparations for everything, including clothes, which wouldn't be something that Yezi Su would neglect!

  Qing Lian saw Ye like frost with a full of confidence and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, had already begun to get anxious for the evening's palace feast.

  The capital city is extremely lively on the Dragon Boat Festival, with red lanterns hanging everywhere. Before it gets dark, there are already lion dances and various performances on the streets, which are crowded with people rushing to and fro.

  The carriage of the Taishi Fu slowly drove through the crowds and headed towards the imperial palace.

  "Miss, we've arrived." The driver got off first and then reached out his hand to help Xia Tianmeng down from the carriage.

  In the summer, Meng saw a small eunuch kneeling on the ground, and he slightly shifted his gaze, stretched out his foot to step on his back, and held onto Chen Yu's arm to get down.

  The young man waiting at the gate saw them and walked over with a smile, slightly bowing his head: "Greetings, Father." After Xia Ying Shen nodded, he smiled again at Xia Tian Meng, "Meng Meng."

  In the summer, Moe looked at the boy's face with a warm and gentle smile, wearing a pale blue long gown, which was as warm as jade. Most importantly, his clear and dark eyes were full of tenderness, reaching deep into his eyes.

  "Brother." Xia Tian Meng smiled at him.

  This is Xia Qingyi, the eldest son of Xia Ying and Xia Qing, who has only appeared twice in the original text. He is now an official and is working at the Military Affairs Bureau, where he is the youngest official. Xia Qingyi was very intelligent from a young age, although he was gentle and refined, he was extremely well-versed in military strategy, and had followed the army on many campaigns as a military advisor.

  At first, Nankun was able to win a complete victory, and he was not without his own efforts.

  He appears twice in the original text. The first time is when Xia Tianmeng is possessed by a dark spirit and refuses to let go of Nan Qi, he tries to persuade him but fails, and chooses to help his sister deal with Ye Ruxue instead. Ye Ruxue indeed falls into his trap, which makes her hate the Xia family even more. The second time is after Xia Ying's death, when the Xia family is exiled to a harsh land, he desperately protects Xia Tianmeng from being taken away and is killed by one of Ye Ruxue's brainless fans with a single sword strike.

  It was only these two times, but it let Xia Tian Mo know that he was a brother who truly cared for her.

  Xia Qingyi was slightly surprised to see Xia Tianmeng like this, but she remembered what Xia Yingchen told her about Mengmeng's amnesia, so she smiled and nodded at her: "You go pay your respects to the empress dowager first."

  When the ladies entered the palace, those with some status would go to Cining Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Xia Tianmeng was quite favored by the Empress Dowager, and every time she entered the palace, she would be summoned for a chat.

  Xia Yingxin also nodded, and ordered Chen Xunyu: "Take good care of the young lady, be careful." He had always disliked the harem, the conflicts between women were really harmful, every time Xia Tianmu entered the palace he would order again and again, fearing that he would offend someone in the palace. Even if Emperor Wei wouldn't blame him, he still didn't know whether those people would harbor resentment in their hearts.

  Xia Tian Miao smiled and slightly bowed her head, then followed the little eunuch who had been smiling and waiting by her side into the western gate.

  That little eunuch knew at a glance that he was clever, and carefully led the way while chatting: "Miss Xia hasn't come to the palace for a long time, but I heard the Empress Dowager mention you today!"

  Xia Tian Miao slightly raised her lips and nodded at him: "The Empress Dowager's favor is enough."

  She handed a small pouch to the little eunuch with a smile, "A humble gift from me, I hope Your Excellency won't despise it." She wouldn't underestimate anyone in the palace; no one without ability could serve so closely under the Empress Dowager at such a young age.

  That little eunuch didn't decline, and instead bowed to Xia Tianmeng and said: "Thank you for the reward, Miss Xia." He wasn't someone who would accept rewards from just anyone, after all, he could tell at a glance that accepting them would only bring him trouble. Miss Xia was known by everyone as the future empress, so he had to maintain a good relationship with her.

  As they spoke, they arrived at the Cining Palace. In the spacious high courtyard, there were servants performing their duties, and when they saw Xia Tianmeng, they also bowed politely without any bias.

  "Miss Xia has arrived!" The old lady who came out to greet her smiled when she saw Xia Tianmeng, wearing a silk palace dress with golden bangles on her wrists. At first glance, it was clear that her status was extraordinary. "The Empress Dowager has been thinking of you all along!"

  In the summer, Miao saw her and smiled even more, slightly bowing his head: "Auntie."

  The old woman hastily reached out to support her arm, scolding: "Miss Xia is still being polite to me? Isn't that too much?" But what couldn't be concealed was the smile in her eyes.

  In the summer, Miao didn't insist, after all, her identity was there, and Kenfu's body had already given face. She stood up with the trend, smiled and held the old lady's hand: "Miao Miao hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and she misses her mother very much!" This old lady was the one who served by the side of the Empress Dowager when she was young, and her identity was not ordinary. Many people in the palace didn't know how to curry favor with her.

  The old lady patted her hand, laughing: "You've forgotten about the princess, haven't you?" She then whispered in her ear, "Right now, Princess Ruyang is inside!"
