Chapter 1432: Such a Coincidence

Editor: Henyee Translations

Princess Consort was noticeably displeased when the matter was brought up. She was on the verge of trying to dissuade Princess Shuangfu when the latter happily exclaimed, “That’s wonderful! Thank you, Crown Prince and Princess Consort! I would be immensely grateful if Madame Shao could accompany me!”

Princess Consort: “…”

“Have you thoroughly considered this?”

Princess Shuangfu didn’t notice Princess Consort’s furrowed brow. With her head down and a joyous smile on her face, she fiddled with her hair in front of her chest. It was apparent that her happiness had taken precedence over all other considerations.

Princess Consort grew exasperated, but her decorum and dignified image restrained her from using forceful language. She responded calmly, “If that is your choice, then so be it. Prepare yourself for the wedding, and if you require anything, have someone inform me. I have matters to attend to and will take my leave.”

“Thank you, Princess Consort! Farewell, Princess Consort!”

Princess Consort cast a sidelong glance at her, pursed her lips, and departed.

Princess Shuangfu and her servant were elated after Princess Consort’s departure. Madame Shao’s presence instilled a sense of assurance.

The mistress and her servant exchanged excited conversation and laughter for a while. However, Bi Yun couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry. “I can’t help but think that Crown Princess Consort might not be entirely on board with this idea. Could she be unhappy about it?”

Princess Shuangfu’s smile faltered as she shook her head. “No, Princess Consort has always been poised and isn’t easily provoked. She won’t oppose the Crown Prince’s wishes. Besides, I don’t believe she is unhappy about it.”

She remained unaware of Princess Consort’s true sentiments, and Princess Consort hadn’t conveyed them to her either. She was simply in the dark.

Bi Yun was taken aback and quickly offered an apology. “Yes, yes, yes. I’m sorry, I misspoke.”

Princess Shuangfu smiled. “We shouldn’t delay. I will go inform Father now!”

She felt exhilarated and resolute. If she didn’t take action now, she feared she might never gather the courage in the future.

Furthermore, time was of the essence. Princess Shuangfu didn’t possess a surplus of confidence. She believed that good fortune was within her grasp, and she had to seize it immediately. Otherwise, something unforeseen might occur.

Throughout her years in the palace, she had observed dispassionately from the sidelines. There was nothing she hadn’t witnessed.

Today, she was particularly fortunate. When she arrived at the Thousand Year Palace for an audience, the Emperor happened to be available. Shortly after, a young eunuch appeared and ushered her inside.

“Father, greetings!”

“Rise!”

“Thank you, Father! Greetings, Honored Princess.”

Princess Shuangfu stood and saluted Honored Princess Mei. Honored Princess Mei nodded and smiled at her before standing upright.

Princess Shuangfu found it quite coincidental that Honored Princess Mei was present. However, this was a rare occasion for her to meet her father, and she couldn’t afford to squander the opportunity. Even if Honored Princess Mei was present, she needed to convey her message.

Father and daughter exchanged a few pleasantries, their interactions marked by respect and a degree of formality. The Emperor, in high spirits after Honored Princess Mei’s visit, maintained a smile and asked, “It’s quite a coincidence that you’re here today. What’s on your mind?”

Princess Shuangfu had been awaiting these words. She promptly knelt once more. “I do indeed have a request, Father.”

Evidently, the Emperor was in a good mood following Honored Princess Mei’s appeal. He continued to smile and said, “Speak, it’s rare for you to come to me. I won’t refuse.”

“Thank you, Father!” Princess Shuangfu was elated and prostrated herself. Then, she cautiously presented her request.

To her surprise, her father remained silent for an extended period.

Honored Princess Mei’s expression changed as well.

Princess Shuangfu was a little uneasy and forced a smile. “Father, this, this…”
