"I understand, Mother. Please don't worry. I will certainly take good care of myself, and I will take even better care of His Majesty," Yan Ruxue nodded.
"Mm," Madam Yan said, gazing at her daughter with reluctance. "You've always been an obedient, well-behaved, and kind-hearted girl. As for the Imperial Palace... we don't have to secure the position of Empress. If you can't get it, then so be it. As long as you are safe and sound, nothing else matters. You must also be tolerant and kind to the servants, do you hear me?"
"I hear you," Yan Ruxue replied.
"Alright then." Madam Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'll go attend to other matters for you. You just sit here for now. We'll come get you when it's the auspicious time."
"Alright, Mother," Yan Ruxue nodded.
A moment later, Madam Yan led the Palace Maids out, leaving only Chunyan behind to attend to Yan Ruxue.
"Miss, you're so beautiful."
Chunyan walked over, her eyes sparkling.
