Madam Lu was speechless.
In terms of status, who could be more honorable than the Crown Prince in this world?
But …
Madam Lu raised her head and glanced at the Crown Prince Consort, who was smiling gracefully as the Empress held her hand.
The Crown Prince Consort who was so dazzling among so many madams and misses who were dressed up meticulously.
She sighed. With such a Crown Prince Consort who was a newlywed, how could the Crown Prince's thoughts fall on her daughter?
Moreover, as a mother, she always hoped for the best for her daughter.
No matter how honorable the title of the Crown Prince's secondary consort sounded, she was only a concubine.
Which mother would be willing to let her pampered daughter grow up to be a lowly concubine?
Moreover, if Lu Xi married into another family, if she suffered any grievances, their family could still help her. But if she married into the imperial family, then her life and death would truly be up to fate.
She had always believed that Xi 'er would understand this reasoning and waited for her to figure it out herself.
But now, Xi 'er seemed to be even more bewitched.
Madam Lu held her daughter's hand. It seemed that she had to have a good talk with her daughter after returning home today.
At this time, an eunuch's shrill voice came from outside.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
The hall instantly quieted down, and the womenfolk all sat upright. Some who had never seen the Crown Prince stealthily glanced at the Crown Prince, who had just stepped into the hall.
Yun Qi did not care about the various obscure sizing up gazes in the store.
He personally presented the gift held by the eunuch behind him to the Empress, then gave a big bow and said a few words of blessing.
Gu Shengyin's eyes widened the moment Yun Qi entered the hall.
This man, really was …
Her heart warmed, as if it was slowly washed by the warmest wine.
There were too many womenfolk in the hall, so it was not convenient for Yun Qi to stay for long. After personally presenting the gift, he glanced at Gu Shengyin behind the Empress, smiled at her, and prepared to leave.
At this time, Ping Xi Wang Estate's old consort, who was sitting on the other side of the Empress, suddenly cried out.
Everyone's attention was attracted by her actions.
The Old Consort of Ping Xi Wang was more than sixty years old. Her silver hair was meticulously tied into a bun. Her eyes were not as turbid as the eyes of an ordinary old person. Instead, she was very spirited.
She was of high seniority in the royal family and had a good reputation. Even the Empress would affectionately address her as Imperial Aunt.
The Empress asked with great concern, "What's wrong, Imperial Aunt?"
Ping Xi Wang's old consort narrowed her eyes and smiled. She pointed at Gu Shengyin and then pointed at Yun Qi: "This old one took a look just now and found that the clothes on His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Crown Prince Consort seem to be made from the same material."
Everyone took a closer look. Sure enough, the Crown Prince was wearing the same heavy purple robe.
When he came in earlier, no one paid much attention to him. Now that he was standing with the Crown Princess, their clothes were not the same. Even the cloud patterns on their cuffs were exactly the same.
A few of the newly married madams secretly blushed, but the older madams all laughed out loud.
Her Highness the Empress took a closer look and then looked teasingly at Gu Shengyin, who was blushing and forcing herself to remain calm: "Aiya, this is incredible. It's fine if you two go in and out together, but now, even your clothes have to be made from the same material?"
Such a small matter, if it really happened to Gu Shengyin, she would not feel anything at all.
But Su Chaohua had never experienced such a situation, so she could only feign shyness and smile while pinching her handkerchief.
