Capítulo 1313: Chapter 1313: Her Royal Highness the Princess VS the Stand-in Hidden Guard (Extra 2)
The people in the palace also saw Princess Duanyun who had just co in.
The Empress sitting below saw her daughter and quickly said, “Duanyun, why don’t you co and greet your Aunt Yong Le?”
Only then did Princess Duanyun co to her senses.
She took two steps forward, gave a salute to Gu Shengyin, and when she bowed her head, she saw the man sitting beside her father.
Princess Duanyun was startled in her heart.
Being a princess of the Imperial Family, although surprised, she did not lose her composure.
After finishing her salute, Princess Duanyun quietly sat next to her mother, finally getting a chance to observe the man.
The more she looked, the more alard Princess Duanyun beca.
The news of Emperor of Heavenly Dragon personally coming to Da Qing to propose to Aunt Yong Le was once a widely discussed event.
She had, of course, seen His Majesty the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon at the ti.
Even though many years had passed, so people, with their unique charisma, are unforgettable after just one encounter.
How could His Majesty the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon and Aunt Yong Le, now an Empress, appear here?
Princess Duanyun, full of doubts, finally found a chance to ask her mother while going to the restroom.
“Why is Aunt Yong Le here?”
Upon hearing this, the Empress’s face showed a complex expression, as if difficult to understand, yet with a hint of envy.
She began, “Duanyun, seeing your Aunt Yong Le, I’ve co to realize that so people are truly born to be admired.”
Her tone carried a note of emotion: “This ti, His Majesty the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon specially traveled with minimal entourage to accompany her back to Da Qing to see your Imperial Grandmother and father for fear that she might miss her holand.”
The Empress carefully wiped her hands with a clean silk cloth and finished with a final sentence: “I once thought that reaching my current position was the pinnacle for any woman in the world, but I know now that I never had any real standing in your father’s heart. But your Aunt Yong Le, she truly has achieved the ultimate that any woman can attain.”
Princess Duanyun silently took the Empress’s hand and walked out.
The evening al was shared in the Empress Dowager’s palace.
This ti, Gu Shengyin and Long Xiao did not make a grand entrance, simply not wishing to draw too much attention.
The gathering included only the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Empress, and several legitimate princes and princesses.
Even in such a setting, Princess Duanyun could only sit at a lower position.
“Have a bit more, and drink a bowl of soup, won’t you? Ah Chao eats more than you,” Long Xiao said with furrowed brows, although his tone was exceedingly gentle.
Gu Shengyin remained silent for a couple of seconds, but eventually accepted the soup from him.
“The last bowl.” She seed quite unwilling.
Long Xiao’s eyebrows curved in a smile: “Alright.”
Silently, she watched as her uncle, the ruler of a nation, was entirely focused just on her aunt, not caring about the gaze of others at all.
He knew every dish her aunt favored, even personally helping her with food and soup…
Such intimacy left her, a mother herself, montarily blushing quietly.
Beyond the blush, what remained was an indescribable lancholy.
In this lifeti, she might truly never be able to surpass her aunt in any way.
The Empress Dowager and Emperor, witnessing this scene, finally felt a sense of relief.
Although Gu Shengyin would regularly send letters, without seeing her in person, there was always concern.
Worried she might not be faring well in Heavenly Dragon and have no one to talk to if she’s wronged.
Now upon observing, the Empress Dowager felt she could finally be at ease.
So things can be feigned, but certain things cannot be faked even if one tried.
Her Bao Chan was living happily.
