Bei Heng Yongan was twenty-one years old, and on December 24, he was the second prince of the Flowing Cloud Palace, the current Duke Ming. At the same time, he had married Baili Xiu, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the palace, and Zhong Hanxue, the daughter of an assistant minister.

There was no end in sight to the entire road. The lanterns and decorations were arranged to create a pavilion. From the Immortal Soul Sect to the Jadeite Palace, the colors were cut into flowers that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. From the Immortal Soul Sect to the Jadeite Palace, the colors were cut into flowers that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.

The hundred officials of the imperial court came and went with their families, all to pay their respects. The entire palace was filled with people, brimming with joy. The congratulatory gifts were piled up in the side hall of the Jadeite Temple with a high wall like a mountain. Each of them was a rare treasure, and all of them were marvelous. They were extremely extravagant, causing people to gasp in admiration.

Anyone with eyes could see that the wedding this time would be even more lively and grand than the previous time when the Crown Prince and Princess Nanke were married. The families of the two newlyweds were both powerful families, and although Qian Yulian appeared to be handing this matter over to her, in reality, she herself had put forward a lot of requests.

Imperial Concubine Lian had arrived at Jadeite Jade Palace early in the morning. Although she was slightly dissatisfied with Murong Huifei's banquet, she still obeyed him. Her hair was pulled back by the clouds, and her eyes were filled with dazzling gold and jade ornaments. She wore a plum red embroidered palace dress, and on the outside, there was a thin layer of golden silk that could be drawn. Her wide clothes were embroidered with a faint golden pattern, and a round red gem hung in front of her forehead.

The Crown Prince's imperial carriage was also different from other carriages. Not only was it grand in appearance, it also had a thick mattress on the inside, and on it was a pure white fur. It was soft and had a faint fragrance.

Although she was far from Senior Concubine Lian, she was still wearing a pink-colored palace dress. She had only been pregnant for two months, and her waist had not changed, so it was hard to tell on the surface, but her waist was no longer bunched up. Her wide dress did not look bloated, but instead looked elegant, with long black hair tied into a simple bun, and the amethyst jade hairpin had a unique crescent-shaped shape.

"Miss, the palace is so beautiful and lively." Cui'er was extremely excited along the way. Once she entered the palace, she couldn't help but open the curtain and look outside.

It was enough to see the crown prince's wedding once, but she felt exhausted after seeing it once. It was because Duke Ming and Imperial Concubine Lian were the saviors of her and his daughter's lives that she was willing to come to the palace to congratulate them. Of course, there was something else in her subconscious, but she had yet to notice it.

"Princess, we've arrived at the Middle Palace." Hei Er reported. He rolled up the carriage curtain and continued, "Today's greetings and banquets are all in the Jadeite Temple. The carriage can only arrive here. There is still a bit of distance to go. Princess Wangfei, would you like to take a walk by herself or sit in a sedan chair?"

"Let's walk for a bit. There's no need to use the sedan chair." Wang mama and Cui'er, who had gotten out of the car earlier, helped each other off. They stretched and took a deep breath, feeling in high spirits.

Hei Er nodded and said to Cui Er and Wang mama, "The guards can only wait outside the Jadeite Jade Palace. Cui'er, you and mama must follow the wangfei closely. The palace is very complicated, do not go to a secluded place alone.

"I'm awake!" Wang mama was more calm, and she had only spoken her first words since entering the palace.

"Yes, I know." Cui'er also replied obediently, she was most afraid of Black Two's wooden face, which was always stiff. She turned her head to look at Black Five, who was observing his surroundings without even looking at them.

Initially, they wanted to meet with the Emperor, Empress and Imperial Concubine Lian, but they had come out a little late. The driver seemed to be afraid that he would shake her, so by the time they arrived at the palace, the auspicious hour was already less than two hours away. Therefore, they could only head straight to the Jadeite Palace.

Although the Jadeite Temple was rather spacious, it was still rather crowded when accommodating so many people at once. Those who did not know each other had to face each other with smiles on their faces. Yun Sheng quickly became irritated, and Cui'er and Wang mama only cared for her, fearing that they would accidentally bump into her.

Fortunately, a rainbow clothed palace maid came over after a short while and said, "This servant, Wanru, greets wangfei. Mistress has instructed this servant to lead you to the side hall for a rest if wangfei arrives. There are too many people in the main hall, so wangfei will definitely not like it if it's too noisy."

"Your master is so meticulous that he even thought of our young miss being afraid of making a ruckus." Cui'er said.

Wanru said, "This servant came from the Baili family in Jiangnan and originally knew the wangfei. It's just that the wangfei doesn't remember. Since Duke Ming and the wangfei were grown up together, he naturally knows all about the wangfei's likes and dislikes."

"You know me? "It's a pity that I still can't remember. If you have nothing better to do, tell me about Jiangnan." When she mentioned Jiangnan in the manor, her mother felt somewhat uncomfortable. Other people did not know the past, but she did not know why she always felt that Jiangnan seemed to be very important to her.

Wanru said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, wangfei. This servant was sent by the prince to specially take care of wangfei. If wangfei wants to know, just ask. Let's talk as we walk. This is the main road, there are too many people here."

The few of them walked into the side hall and discovered that there were quite a few tables and chairs there. Others were already resting, but there were far fewer people here than in the main hall.

"Esteemed wangfei, please sit down and have some tea. There's no need to worry about the time. When the time comes, someone will come to inform you in advance." As though she was quick-witted, she arranged a relatively quiet corner for Yun Shengyue to sit in. Beside her, there was a pot of dense and lush crabapple blossoms that obstructed others' line of sight.

Yun Shengyue sat down and said, "It's really lively today. I originally wanted to meet with my father and the ladies, but it seems like it's too late."

There's no need to worry, Princess. You'll see her at the main hall later, and there's a small study room next to this side chamber. If you find it boring to sit there, you can go read some books.

"Oh, well, you think very well." Yun Sheng looked around. There were many women resting in the side chamber. Judging from their dressing, they were probably first-class first-class madams. All of them had warm smiles as they spoke their polite pleasantries.

Cui'er was constantly looking around with a joyful expression. As for Wang mama, she stood behind Yun Shengyue in a very proper manner. She did not pay attention to anything else. As Yun Shengyue watched, she did not say a word and as though she was also silent, she quietly stood to the side.

After a while, there were more and more people in the side chamber. It was likely that someone knew of this resting area and had hidden away due to the disturbance in the main chamber.

Just as she was frowning, she said, "I didn't expect there would be more people here. The Jade Palace is still too small after all. It can't accommodate so many guests. If it's too noisy, why don't you go to the study room to rest for a while?"

"In this old servant's opinion, there's no need for that. Wangfei, please hold it a bit longer. The hour is about to come." Wang mama immediately objected.

After a slight pause, she smiled and said, "This study room is exactly the same as the one Master used at Baili's house. Princess is also studying painting and calligraphy in the study room, and there are quite a few that were made by her in the past. Master has sent people from Jiangnan to bring them to the palace so Princess can go take a look."

"Really? Are there any paintings that I've painted before? " Yun Shengyue was somewhat curious.

"Not only are there paintings, there are also poems and poems. Even the pads and manuscripts that the princess used to practice her calligraphy are still there."

"There's still an hour. I'll go take a look." Only Wang mama had a look of worry on her face, but it was not easy to stop her. She hoped that she was just going to take a look, but the wangfei had yet to recover her memories. She was always curious about her past, but she did not know what Duke Ming's intentions were.

"Ya, miss, look at this signature. You painted it when you were eight years old. You're really amazing, Miss. To be able to draw such beautiful plum blossoms at such a young age."

It was as though he had pulled out a bunch of paintings. The manuscripts were indeed written and painted by Yun Shengyue since she was young. Looking at the rough strokes he had learnt when he was only five years old, Yun Shengyue found them very interesting.

Another palace maid came in with a tray of refreshments. After placing it on the table, she carefully lit up the few spices in the censer, causing smoke to billow out. Soon, the room was filled with a faint aroma of lilies, and after the palace maid finished, she quietly retreated.

Some of them were casual works, while some were exquisite works by Murong Mingyue's teacher. Some of the poems were mischievous works by Yun Shengyue, who was beside them with Murong Mingyue's comments. Reading them one by one, Yun Shengyue could not help but smile.

A moment later, Cui'er started to feel sleepy, and involuntarily yawned. Wang mama also felt that her eyelids were too heavy, and just as she felt that it wasn't right, she collapsed onto the chair. Yun Sheng's figure swayed slightly as well. It was as though he was hurriedly helping her lie down on a soft bed. He turned around to see that Cui'er had fallen asleep as well.
