In the morning, as soon as Tianmiao woke up, there were maidservants outside quietly asking if they could come in to serve her.
Upon receiving Tianmiao's affirmative response, several maidservants filed in. Some carried basins for washing the face, toothbrushes made from willow branches, salt, and there were maidservants carrying trays with headpieces, jewelry, and new clothes. It was apparent that much thought had been put into the preparations.
Tianmiao gracefully accepted the maidservants' service, from dressing to washing, to finally putting on jewelry.
The maidservants, looking at the woman before them, felt their hearts beat a little faster. They had never seen such a beautiful and noble woman. She was too dazzling to gaze at directly, yet they couldn't help but sneak peeks.
When Commandery Princess Yong'an came to visit, she too was stunned.
She remembered what her husband had said, "Look at her attire and demeanor, how could I feel that even the late Empress Dowager can't match her grace?" The late Empress Dowager was a legendary woman in history. Back when the Emperor was expanding territory, naturally leaving the rear vulnerable, there was no Empress then, and it was the Empress Dowager who held the court in command. The entire court, both civil and military, praised her unanimously, wholeheartedly convinced.
After the Empress Dowager passed, the entire court mourned deeply, and the Emperor was even more grief-stricken, staying by her side without rest for three days and nights.
Such a remarkable woman, standing there, was a dazzling presence.
And the aura of this Miss Tian even surpassed that of the late Empress Dowager.
What on earth was the identity of this Miss Tian? Was she truly from the line of prophets?
"Miss Tian, did you rest well last night?" Commandery Princess Yong'an stepped forward with a smile and asked.
"Well, thank you for your concern, Commandery Princess." Tianmiao looked at the luxurious and dignified woman before her, and returned a smile. The decisiveness and competence between the Commandery Princess Yong'an's brows made Tianmiao somewhat fond of her. Such a resolute and responsible woman was rare, even among women of her status, it was a rarity.
"Let's have breakfast first." Commandery Princess Yong'an led Tianmiao ahead. By the time they reached the dining hall, the entire Dingguo Mansion family was already waiting there. After Tianmiao arrived, they began the meal. After the meal, they started discussing some matters.
As for Xiao Anning, it was after waking up that he learned Chancellor Ji had come with Ji Liruo.
Listening to his grandfather talk about Chancellor Ji managing this matter, Xiao Anning fell silent. He had little favor for Chancellor Ji. This man's way of doing things was too utilitarian, unscrupulous. Although in the official circles, such conduct was not necessarily wrong.
As for Ji Liruo…
Xiao Anning's thoughts wandered afar.
Until Commandery Princess Yong'an called him, did his mind return.
"Ah? Mother, what did you say?" Xiao Anning returned to his senses and asked in confusion.
"Miss Tian wants to explore the Capital City, accompany her around. If Miss Tian fancies something, don't hesitate." After instructing Xiao Anning, Commandery Princess Yong'an smiled and conveyed another sentence to Tianmiao.
"In that case, thank you." Tianmiao nodded with a smile, showing no sign of politeness. Commandery Princess Yong'an's appreciation for her straightforward nature increased again.
"Alright, alright." Xiao Anning withdrew his thoughts and nodded in agreement.
Commandery Princess Yong'an instructed Xiao Anning to bring more guards before allowing the two of them to leave.
Tianmiao climbed into the carriage, with Xiao Anning riding a horse beside it.
When the carriage came to a stop, Tianmiao got out and looked up to see the carriage was parked in front of a jewelry shop.
"I didn't know what young ladies like. But I thought that beautiful jewelry would be quite fitting for Miss Tian." At this time, Xiao Anning dismounted and walked over, saying somewhat bashfully. At the Wanwu Everything Shop, he had seen, seen the celestial beauty of Tianmiao, and had also seen those exquisite pieces of jewelry upon her. Subconsciously, he thought Tianmiao would appreciate these exquisite items.
Looking at the somewhat shy Xiao Anning, Tianmiao's lips curved slightly, thinking what a considerate child he was.
