Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 62

You can vaguely see a layer of dust on it, which sparkles in the sunlight.

Since Qingyi disappeared, Fengxue has not allowed anyone into Xuelou. She doesn't like Xuelou to be tainted by strangers, just as she is unwilling to compromise.

Qingyi's disappearance this time is really strange; it's impossible that she hasn't contacted her for over a month. Given Qingyi's personality, even if the sky were to fall, she would find a way to contact her.

And this time—

There's only one possibility!

Feng Xue clenched her fist, her expression turning serious.

Shuangdie hid Qingyi.

Suddenly, Feng Xue heard the hesitant footsteps outside the Snow Pavilion suddenly become firm, as if they had made a decision.

Her gaze suddenly turned cold.

Zixing bit her lower lip, reached out her hand, and prepared to push the door open.

Just then, with a creak, the door opened.

Feng Xue glanced at her coldly, and Zi Xing's heart pounded. The moment she met Feng Xue's eyes, she felt an urge to run away, but when she remembered the Princess Consort's orders, she had no choice but to steel herself.

Zixing curtsied and respectfully said, "Zixing greets Your Highness."

"Hmm." The voice was faint.

"Hearing that the Princess Consort likes plum blossom cakes, the Consort specially prepared plum blossom cakes for the Princess Consort, hoping that the Princess Consort would do her a favor and come to Butterfly Pavilion to taste the Consort's thoughtfulness, considering that the Consort is six months pregnant."

Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly, a hint of cold mockery in them.

Zixing kept her head down and didn't notice the mockery on Fengxue's lips.

“Okay,” Feng Xue replied, a ripple appearing in her eyes.

Cough cough... The duel between Shuangdie and Fengxue is really hard to write... I'll write it properly once I've prepared myself.

Nobody wants a snail to sacrifice quality for speed, right? (*^__^*) Hehe...

Also, the character profile was actually written by a snail on a whim one day, so you don't need to pay attention to it.

Butterfly Tower.

Shuangdie, dressed in magnificent attire, had long since shed the dust and grime of her early days when she married into the royal household, thanks to the daily indulgence in fine silks, satins, and shark fin. Now, Shuangdie exuded the air of a noblewoman in every gesture.

Shuangdie sat at the sandalwood table, her belly slightly protruding.

Her red lips curved into a smile, and her silver eyes shimmered with a soft light, radiating a maternal glow.

When Feng Xue entered, this was the scene she saw—on a dark brown sandalwood table, there was a plate of pale plum blossom cakes. Shuang Die sat at the table with a gentle expression, her hands lightly stroking her belly.

Feng Xue frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

Shuangdie quickly stood up and was about to bend her knees when Zixing, who was behind Fengxue, quickly helped her up and said, "Princess Consort, the Prince has instructed that since you are pregnant, you do not need to bow to anyone in the Prince's mansion."

Shuangdie smiled gently and straightened up. "Please don't take offense, Your Highness."

Feng Xue said calmly, "It's alright."

She glanced around and saw that the Butterfly Pavilion was comparable in scale to the Snow Pavilion, and all the furnishings inside were extremely precious, some even worth a fortune.

It seems that Situ Xingyun truly dotes on Shuangdie.

"Zi Xing, you may leave now!" Shuang Die waved her hand to dismiss Zi Xing. She sat down and smiled at Feng Xue, "Your Highness, I heard that you love plum blossom cake, so I specially asked the cook to teach me how to make it." She pushed the plum blossom cake in front of Feng Xue and said shyly, "This is the first time I've made this pastry. I hope Your Highness will do me the honor."

Feng Xue glanced at the plum blossom cake and said indifferently, "I don't like plum blossom cake."

Shuangdie bit her lip slightly, a hint of embarrassment on her face, "But His Highness said..."

"He said that?"

Shuangdie nodded, and said with some regret, "His Highness went to the morning court, otherwise the Princess Consort could have asked him herself. A few days ago, His Highness told Shuangdie that the Princess Consort likes to eat plum blossom cakes."

A cold smile crept onto Feng Xue's lips. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the pearl flower adorning her twin-butterfly hair bun—a small, delicate red flower, the very same Red Beauty Dew Flower she had given her that day.

Noticing Feng Xue's gaze, Shuang Die touched the red dew flower in her hair and smiled charmingly, "The red dew flower given by the princess is indeed well-deserved. Shuang Die likes it very much! Every time the prince sees the red dew flower in Shuang Die's hair, his gaze will linger on it for a very long time."

Feng Xue glanced at the red dew flower indifferently, then shifted her gaze to the flower's silver eyes, a ripple appearing in her own.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for gifting the Red Beauty Dew Flower to Shuangdie!" Her voice seemed to carry a deeper meaning.
