The two of them walked to the intersection, and the palace man pointed the direction for Hua Mian. He stood there and waited for Hua Mian's figure to completely disappear from sight before turning around and leaving.

Hua Mian was thinking about the eleventh prince's dinner, so she hurried back to Hejing Palace instead of going to Jinyue Palace.

In the following days, Hua Mian found out about the second prince's biological mother from the maids in the palace. Thinking about it, the palace she was taken to that day should be the palace where the concubine lived. Judging from the specifications, it was similar to that of Concubine Jing, so it was probably the same.

She was a high-ranking concubine, but she never had any contact with her after that, and Hua Mian gradually forgot about what happened that day.

I don't know whether it's because the winter in this world is relatively short, or because the royal capital is located in an area close to the south. In Huamian's mind, winter is very short. Not long after the New Year's banquet, the weather started to get warmer.

This is not good news for Hua Mian. If I remember correctly, the wedding time designated by Emperor Deyuan is the beginning of summer. No matter how long the season here is, but since there are signs of spring, then the beginning of summer

It's just something that's bound to happen sooner or later.

The palace announced the news of General Zhenbei's return to the country on the grounds of preparation for marriage. At this time, as spring had already entered and the ice and snow began to melt, the Beilin tribe on the border was afraid of reinforcements here, even if they knew the news of General Zhenbei's return.

Still dare not act rashly.

"Sister Hua Mian, do you think the dowry for the Fourth Miss's wedding this time is more than the princess's wedding?" Xiaocui pulled Hua Mian after seeing the various silk and satin rare toys that were constantly being transported into the palace.

Say quietly.

"Probably because His Majesty is also very much looking forward to the smooth success of this marriage." Hua Mian didn't know much more information than Xiao Cui. Ever since she heard Sikong Yue talk about the caravan transporting goods to Beilin, she didn't know anything about it.

Listening to them discussing border issues, maybe they would still talk about it in places where there are no servants, but these are not things that I can guess.

"That's it, I remembered it." Xiaocui clapped her hands and said happily as if she had remembered something: "Earlier when the Fifth Miss and the Seventh Young Master opposed the fourth Miss's marriage to Beilin, the Third Young Master mentioned that this was an imperial edict.

, His Majesty supported the fourth young lady’s marriage from the beginning.”

"The seventh young master is also very courageous. He can also object to the emperor's decree for a marriage. But from what you said, both the fifth lady and the seventh young master are very stubborn people."

As early as the day when Hua Mian first arrived at Sikong Mansion, because she opposed the marriage, the fifth daughter of the Sikong family, Si Kong Yun, and the seventh young master Sikong Mingsi made a big fuss in the house and left the house one after another. Hua Mian was not seen until she was expelled from Sikong Mansion.

When they came back, these two people were completely unfamiliar to Hua Mian.

Now that Xiaocui mentioned it again, Hua Mian finally remembered that she had stayed in Sikong Mansion for a while, but she still didn't recognize her.

The conversation between the two of them ranged from the wedding dowry to the maid in Fifth Miss Sikong Yun's room, and then they suddenly realized that the original topic had long been forgotten.

"Looking at their preparations like this, even I became nervous." Xiao Cui raised her head and looked at the palace guests in the distance carrying various lacquer boxes coming in and out.

"What's wrong? If you don't want to go, I'll help you intercede with Concubine Jing and let you stay."
