Qin Yanran arrived at the palace gates with Xu Qing’s escort.  

Xu Qing lifted the curtain and placed a footstool for her.  

She moved with graceful steps, descending leisurely.  

She wore a light purple wide-sleeved smoke-gauze dress with a fitted waist, delicate sheer fabric cinched around her slender waist, adorned with a pearl-encrusted waist pendant.  

Her shoes were inlaid with large eastern pearls, they were spotless and exquisitely luxurious.  

But the most eye-catching was undoubtedly her mermaid pearl hair accessory.  

Already possessing remarkable beauty, with her dressed like this, she could easily be described as a heavenly fairy.  

Many beautiful young ladies had already gathered at the palace gates, yet her appearance still outshone them all, capturing everyone’s attention.  

Recently, the news about the true and false Duke Protector had also pushed Qin Yanran, the foremost young lady, into the spotlight.  

It would be false to say that no one was waiting to see her become a laughingstock, but before the laughter could fully erupt, news spread that Qin Jiang was fighting for military power against Qin Canglan’s son.  

On the surface, it was a struggle for military authority, but in reality, it reflected Emperor Jingxuan’s stance.  

Emperor Jingxuan did not acknowledge the Duke Protector who had returned from the commoners.  

Thus, Qin Jiang still had a chance to turn things around.  

Su Xiaoxiao’s carriage arrived at the palace around the same time.  

Her appearance also drew everyone’s attention.  

The young ladies of the capital prized slimness as beauty, no one had ever seen a young lady to be so plump.  

Then there was also Su Mo.

Su Mo, honored as the foremost of the capital’s four distinguished gentlemen, had countless young ladies secretly admiring him.  

“Who is that?” 

One young lady asked.  

Her companion whispered, “Coming with Young Master Su… could it be that young lady is the one from the countryside?”  

“The old duke’s biological granddaughter?”  

“Most likely.”  

“Why is she here? A girl raised in the countryside, does she even qualify to be a princess’s companion?”  

Everyone murmured among themselves.  

Qin Yanran pretended not to hear the gossip about Su Xiaoxiao. 

She walked past the two of them.  

Su Mo ignored Qin Yanran, not even glancing her way.  

Qin Yanran tightened her grip on her handkerchief.  

She heard Su Mo say to Su Xiaoxiao, “You can enter. I will wait for you outside.”  

“No need to wait for me. Who knows how long it will take.”   

“It’s fine. It’s not like I have anything else to do anyway.”  

Qin Yanran remembered that three years ago when she had entered the palace for Princess Hui’an’s small flower-viewing banquet.  

She had been staying at the Zhenbei Marquis Manor at the time, and the old marquis had asked Su Mo to escort her into the palace.  

He didn’t defy the old marquis’s wishes and had accompanied her to the palace gates.  

However, he hadn’t shared a carriage with her, and instead, he rode on horseback beside it.   

In the end, he left two guards to wait for her and left without looking back.

In Qin Yanran’s impression, Su Mo had always been busy with endless official duties.  

But just now, he actually said…  that It was not like he had anything else to do anyway?  

“Well… alright then.” 

Su Xiaoxiao agreed.  

Qin Yanran had always felt that Su Mo treated her exceptionally well, like a perfect, flawless cousin.  

But after comparing his attitude toward Su Xiaoxiao, only then she realized that Su Mo had only been following the elders’ instructions, dutifully fulfilling his role as an elder cousin.  

If you genuinely cared for someone, you would take the initiative without waiting for anyone else to tell you.

Su Mo went to the carriage and waited patiently.  

The young ladies entered the palace with the assistance of eunuchs and palace maids.  

There was still quite a distance from here to the Hall of Supreme Harmony*, so the Imperial Household Department had prepared several sedans.  

*Hall of Supreme Harmony : the largest and most important throne hall within the Forbidden City (Palace), where major imperial ceremonies, such as the emperor’s enthronement, were held.

The young ladies who rode in sedans usually tipped the eunuchs who carried them, making it a lucrative task.
