Zhao Hua Palace wasn't as busy as outside. Everything was as usual, and every palace servant was doing their own things in an orderly manner.
"This servant greets the Seventh Princess Consort."
"Yingan, where's your princess?"
"The princess is dressing up. Princess, this way please."
She followed Ying An into the inner chamber and pushed open the door. She saw a few palace maids carefully dressing up Yuehe. She had chosen a red peony dress that accentuated her snow-white skin. Her black hair was tied into a complicated bun that chased the clouds and the moon. The appropriate hairpins added a bit of luxury to her. Her almond-shaped eyes were delicate and charming, and her entire body was elegant. Lou Huan could no longer see her former purity and elegance. Now, only her wisdom and beauty were left.
"Why is Seventh sister-in-law here?" When Yue He saw Lou Huan, doubt flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and smiled.
"I wanted to come and see you before the banquet started. A girl has really changed once she reached adulthood.”Lou Huan sighed. She didn't know how to comment on Yue He's change. Now, she was completely acting like a princess of the Tian family.
"Seventh sister-in-law, are you feeling better? I heard that Seventh Sister-in-law is sick and I've always wanted to go and see her. However, I've been troubled by a lot of things. I'm really happy to see Seventh Sister-in-law here today.”Yue He stood up and walked forward to hold Lou Huan's hand, acting coquettishly.
"I'm much better. I'm very happy that you have such thoughts. Today is so important to Yuehe. Even if Seventh Sister-in-law is seriously ill, she still has to come.”Lou Huan smiled gently and tidied up Li Yuehe's clothes. Suddenly, she thought of Dongfang Ling. Although she felt that it was unlikely, what if? After all, that person had a face that could topple all living beings, right? Thinking of this, she slowly said,"You can all leave. This princess and the princess have a few words to say."”
Yue He saw that Lou Huan had dismissed the palace maid and turned to face her. She smiled sweetly." What does Seventh Sister-in-law want to say?”
"Does Yue He have anyone you like?" To be on the safe side, Lou Huan decided to test the waters first.
Yue He didn't expect her to ask directly, and her delicate little face immediately turned red. Although she didn't say anything for a long time, Lou Huan understood her reaction.
"Seventh sister-in-law, he is the most perfect person I have ever seen. He is not inferior to Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, and Ninth Brother. I am really happy that he can attend the Fenghua Banquet for me.”Yue He said shyly before Lou Huan could continue asking.
A bad premonition arose. In that case, the person that Yuehe liked had attended the Fenghua Banquet, and it was very likely that it was one of the seven of them. This made Lou Huan feel uneasy." Yuehe, can you tell Seventh Sister-in-law who he is?"”
Yue He's flushed face looked as if it could drip blood. She lowered her head and nodded, then clearly said a name," Dongfang Ling."”
Lou Huan was shocked. It was really him. She smiled bitterly." Yuehe, how did you two meet?"”
"Seventh sister-in-law, do you still remember the day Lianyun Mountain rode a horse? When you didn't come back after your duel with Princess Shaoying, Seventh Brother went to look for you. I followed him, but I was a step too late. I didn't find you and only found him halfway up the mountain, unconscious. Then I saved him, and then…"
"Don't say anymore. I understand." Lou Huan interrupted Yue He and couldn't help but twitch her lips. She wanted to hold her forehead and sigh. What kind of ill-fated fate was this?
"Seventh sister-in-law, if you see him, I believe you will like him too.”
Lou Huan suppressed her churning emotions and tried to calm herself down. She smiled faintly." Yuehe, have you decided to choose him? Do you understand him? Also, does he like you too?"
It was precisely because he knew him that he was so worried. To be fair, Dongfang Ling's excellence was indeed unmatched. If he and Yue He were also a perfect couple.
Yue He nodded, then shook her head. She looked up at Lou Huan, her eyes clear and determined." I must marry him. No matter what his purpose is, I will gladly accept it because I love him!”
Lou Huan was speechless when she heard Yue He's words. She said that she loved him. Because of this word, she was like a moth flying into a flame. However, what right did she have to stop her from loving him? Her eyes were so bright and full of hope for the future. How could he bear to face her like this?
Forget it. Now, he could only pray that Dongfang Ling was with her because she liked Yue He. After all, a pure and bright woman like Yue He might be able to save him.
"It's getting late. You should get ready. I'll go over first.”
"Seventh sister-in-law, thank you." Tears welled up in Yuehe's eyes as she hugged Lou Huan tightly. She knew that Seventh Sister-in-law cared about her. Although she was the one choosing a husband at the Fenghua Banquet today, no one had asked her what she wanted. No one had asked her if she had someone she liked. Even her father, who had always doted on her and loved her, had not said a word. In this lonely palace, other than her mother, Seventh Sister-in-law was the only one who treated her sincerely.
Lou Huan's eyes were cold. Now that things had come to this, what was done was done. It was useless for her to say anything more. If she had really treated her well, she would have noticed her condition earlier. She patted her shoulder and smiled faintly before turning to leave Zhao Hua Palace.
