Chapter 286: Shyly Waiting to Get Married
"Your Highness, the Empress hasn't returned yet. Ping An just went to the Yangxin Palace to ask, but before he could get close, Eunuch Li Jin, who was guarding outside, waved him away."
Yun Ling was dressing up Her Royal Highness the Princess. It was already two quarters past three in the afternoon, and the Queen had not returned yet. She was afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess would worry.
"No problem. If you can't wait for lunch, then wait until you have dinner with the Queen Mother before returning. Go to the small kitchen and serve the food. This princess will eat alone, so a simple meal is fine."
After sleeping so well, Liang Chongyue felt that the food in her stomach had not been fully digested. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, who looked much better, Liang Chongyue also had the mind to dress herself up.
The clothes and dresses sent by the Imperial Household Department were always made according to her preferences, and each one was extraordinarily luxurious.
"Your Highness, would you like to wear this golden silk rain flower dress today?"
Following Yun Ling's words, Liang Chongyue's gaze fell on the dress hanging on the shelf beside her. It seemed that she had not worn such an elegant and beautiful dress since the beginning of summer this year.
"Then let's take this one. You pick out a headdress for this princess."
After Liang Chongyue finished dressing up, she turned around in front of the huge bronze mirror specially made for the dressing room. After looking better, she was indeed radiant.
"Your Highness, lunch is ready in the kitchenette. Would you like to eat now?"
Ping An walked in from outside. Liang Chongyue looked at him and asked:
"Hasn't the Queen Mother come back yet?"
Seeing Ping An shook his head, Liang Chongyue put on the last hairpin on her bun and walked towards the dining room.
After lunch, Liang Chongyue stood up and casually touched the headdress on her head, and thought of something.
"Yunling, go to my room and get a box of Dongzhu, and come with me to give this gift to my third sister."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
The weather is not very good today. There are dark clouds in the sky, one after another. I don’t know when the sun was completely blocked, and no sunlight can come through.
When Liang Chongyue came out, He Yanting was still kneeling in front of her palace. The palace servants in Yiku Palace had gotten used to it from their initial novelty. Even the eunuchs who were sweeping the floor could pass by him without batting an eyelid.
Liang Chongyue stood under the eaves, turned his head and said to Ping An:
"First, take him back to my mansion to familiarize himself with the route. I don't know when I'll be back today. Have him come at 7:00 PM every day and kneel down before leaving at 8:00 PM."
Ping'an did not think there was anything wrong with Her Royal Highness the Princess's decision. He had heard this morning that the Prince of Guangling had knelt in front of the Yangxin Palace all night without closing his eyes. He changed into dry clothes and followed His Majesty to kneel in front of the palace.
Your Highness is indeed kind-hearted. If Your Highness stayed in the palace, this prince would probably have to kneel down and die in front of Your Highness without any rest.
Ping'an walked towards He Yanting step by step, and Liang Chongyue stood not far away watching He Yanting's reaction.
If the expression on his face displeased her, she would find an opportunity to break his legs and kill the only son of King Guangling.
He Yanting was kneeling in the yard. He had just eaten something. The weather was bad today, so he didn't feel very tired without being exposed to the sun.
When His Highness came out, his eyes followed His Highness all the time, and naturally met His Highness's beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water.
Seeing that His Highness's complexion was getting better day by day, he felt relieved. However, when he thought of the miracle doctor rushing around the courtyard carrying a medicine box this morning, he thought that His Highness must have had a fever again this morning.
He Yanting thought again of the time when his mother first fell ill. She suddenly had a fever for no apparent reason, and even though he had invited many miracle doctors, it was of no use.
After Liang Chongyue's eyes met He Yanting's, she kept observing his facial expression, wondering if this man had become stupid after being caught in the rain last night.
Ping An spoke to him, but he just kept agreeing, as if he hadn't heard a word of Ping An's words at all.
His eyes were fixed on her like sharp eagles, and they looked at each other from a distance of several meters.
Liang Chongyue didn't like the look in He Yanting's eyes. It was too similar to hers. After looking at him for a long time, it was like looking in the mirror. His eyes were even sharper than hers.
Just then, Yun Ling came out of her bedroom holding a brocade box. Liang Chongyue was the first to shift her gaze. Although Yun Ling's steps towards her were fast, they were steady.
When the brocade box was handed to her, Liang Chongyue opened it, and inside was the box of Dongzhu that her scumbag father had given her.
"Dongzhu is scarce this year, so it's perfect as a gift."
Liang Chongyue closed the lid with satisfaction, so she didn't have to think about what to give to her third sister.
"Let's go."
Liang Chongyue brought Yun Ling past He Yanting. His eyes were so scorching that it was hard to ignore them.
Liang Chongyue's gaze unconsciously met his. Only when they looked at each other at such a close distance did she suddenly realize that there was a sadness in He Yanting's eyes when he looked at her that did not belong to someone of his age.
Liang Chongyue narrowed her eyes dangerously. This guy seemed to be sympathizing with her.
Liang Chongyue turned and left speechlessly. If his father was not sensible, she would wait until she wiped out his entire family and see if he would still have the heart to sympathize with others.
Liang Chongyue took Yun Ling to Zhaoyang Palace. Many princes and princesses had lived in Zhaoyang Palace over the years. As soon as she arrived outside the door, she heard the unique laughter of children.
Just listening to it is enough to make people forget their worries and fatigue.
As soon as Liang Chongyue walked into Zhaoyang Palace, she felt eyes from all directions focused on her.
"Hello, Fifth Sister."
Childish voices came from everywhere. Liang Chongyue responded with a smile and did not stay for long. She had a clear purpose for coming this time, and she went straight to the palace where her third sister lived.
"This servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. My prince is inside. This servant will take you in."
Liang Chongyue followed her third sister's personal maid into her third sister's residence. She hadn't been here for a long time, and the place was still the same as when she came here before.
Even the flowerpots under the eaves had not been moved. I don't know which careless eunuch hit the edge of the flowerpot when moving it. Although the crack running through it from top to bottom was turned to the side facing the wall, it could be seen with a little attention.
"Yunling, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask who is in charge of the repairs in the palace. If they can't do it, tell them to stop."
There was a hint of anger in Liang Chongyue's tone, and there was undisguised dissatisfaction in his eyes as he looked at the broken flowerpot.
"Fifth sister, don't bother. My elder sister is leaving the palace to build a mansion and get married. Once I leave, new sisters will move in soon. If they don't like the one they moved in with, they will have to change again, which is troublesome."
The third sister's voice came from under the eaves. It was the first time that Liang Chongyue saw her thinking about others. This was not like her usual character.
Liang Chongyue raised her eyes to look at her third sister, and saw that her face was shy, and her eyes were full of happiness of becoming a bride.
Originally, she thought that her third sister suddenly fell in love with the fourth son of the Qiao family at first sight, but was frightened by Liang Chongzhen's affairs. In order to stay away from this cannibalistic harem, she randomly chose a man to marry.
Now seeing my third sister looking shy and waiting to get married, it seems that love at first sight really does exist.
