Volume 3: Truth and Deception Amidst Palace Turmoil - Back to the Imperial Palace (Part 1)

A magnificent palace.

The hall was filled with a misty, icy atmosphere, and was decorated with opulent ornaments everywhere.

Lying on an ivory bed adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes was a woman in white. Her eyelashes, long and delicate like tassels, gently covered her eyes. Her skin was as white and smooth as cream, and her features were exquisite. Her expression was serene, quietly exuding a noble and tranquil aura, like a fairy from the heavens.

Several palace maids stood to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.

I heard that the woman on the bed is Princess Xiangxue of the Xiangyun Kingdom in the sea, and she has a very important background! But upon closer inspection, this princess is really beautiful. It's a pity that she encountered a storm on her way to the Fengxi Dynasty. Fortunately, she met the emperor, otherwise such a beautiful princess would have been wasted.

However, the Emperor truly dotes on this princess, even allocating the Forbidden Snow Palace to her as her residence. Wow! This princess is already so favored even before she's been officially appointed; it seems treating this master well is definitely the right thing to do.

Several palace maids, each preoccupied with their own plans, failed to notice that Qingyun's eyelashes had twitched.

Qingyun's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

Everywhere she looked was a dazzling expanse of gold. And this luxurious gold was all too familiar to her. She suddenly remembered the time she had fainted, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood.

It seems that Situ Xingyun already knows.

After several years of twists and turns, she finally returned to this magnificent cage.

Is this fate?

Qingyun let out a soft sigh.

Just then, a sharp-eared palace maid heard it. She quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Princess, you've finally woken up."

Seeing this, the other palace maids rushed forward and said, "Princess, that's wonderful! You're finally awake."

Qingyun was taken aback, rubbed her temples, and asked, "Why do you call me princess?"

Seeing this, a palace maid thought she was not fully awake and quickly replied, "Princess, have you forgotten? You are Princess Xiangxue of Xiangyun Kingdom! When you came to Fengxi Dynasty, you encountered a storm. Fortunately, the Emperor saved you! And he even took you back to the palace to recuperate."

Qingyun pursed her lips and immediately understood Situ Xingyun's intention. It seemed that Situ Xingyun wanted to create an identity for her.

Suddenly, a palace maid seemed to remember something. She screamed and said nervously, "Oh dear! I almost forgot! We need to help the princess with her makeup! The Emperor will be coming soon!"

Upon hearing her words, the other palace maids also became anxious and hurriedly helped Qingyun with her makeup and dressing.

Qingyun was lost in her own thoughts and let them do as they pleased.

A moment later, Qingyun saw herself in the mirror.

Her long, jet-black hair was styled into a bun, loosely secured with a jade hairpin, and adorned with a jade phoenix-wing hair ornament. Long beads dangled gracefully, swaying at her temples. She wore a light blue ancient-patterned silk robe with a white floral and cloud-like skirt, tightly cinched at the waist with a green belt, instantly revealing her graceful figure.

Qingyun blinked, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh. How long had it been since she had worn clothes like this?

"Princess, you're so beautiful!"

"Yes! I've never seen such a beautiful princess!"

"The princess must be a fairy descended from heaven."

The palace maids exclaimed in admiration.

At that moment, a eunuch's voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Qingyun was taken aback.

Situ Xingyun rushed to the Snow Palace immediately after finishing court, forgetting to even change out of his court robes. As soon as he entered the Snow Palace, he saw Qingyun, dressed in magnificent robes, standing in front of a mirror, looking at the person in the mirror with a sigh.

Situ Xingyun smiled and walked over.

Qingyun saw Situ Xingyun in the mirror. Qingyun had thought about what it would be like for the two of them to meet again. Qingyun had also thought that when they met, she might scold him harshly or even kill him.

However, when they finally met, she found that she felt no hatred at all. All her assumptions had vanished like bubbles, and all her emotions had dissipated into thin air. Situ Xingyun had left her memory and would never return.

The palace maids around Qingyun quickly curtsied and greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Qingyun glanced at Situ Xingyun indifferently, without any emotion, as if looking at a stranger. She also slightly curtsied, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Situ Xingyun felt a slight sting in his heart; her indifferent expression made his heart feel as if it were being pricked by needles.
