What Madam Qiu said to her was almost cruel; she had never seen her mother with such a stern face.

How, how could she say such things about her?

"Mother is saying this for your own good," Madam Qiu sighed.

The young girl, in the throes of first love, was naive and thought things were too simple.

She only saw the Crown Prince's gentleness and wished she could take the Crown Princess's place, but she didn't realize that the Crown Prince's gentleness was entirely because of the little Crown Princess.

If it were her instead, who knows, that man might not even spare her a cold glance from the corner of his eye.

"Don't have fanciful ideas; beautiful dreams definitely won't come true. You see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treating the Crown Princess with gentleness, doting on her like a precious gem, but that's because the Crown Princess herself is beautiful enough to evoke such affection."

"If it were you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't even spare you a second glance."

Madam Qiu coldly dropped these words, then got up and walked out. "Go tidy yourself up and come out. From now on, you're not allowed to stay in your room daydreaming. Your grandfather's birthday banquet is in a few days; come out and help more."

Seeing Madam Qiu walk out without looking back, Mu Rou Xian was so angry that she swept a set of hair ornaments from the dressing table onto the floor.

Her personal maid, who had quickly entered, turned pale with fright and rushed forward, staring in shock at the broken hair ornaments on the floor. "Miss, how could you just break those hair ornaments? Those were your favorite."

At this moment, Mu Rou Xian's heart was also bleeding.

She had no idea that in her anger, she would smash her beloved jewelry.

While her heart bled, she also felt a mix of grief and indignation.

Being spoken to by her mother in such a way, she felt humiliated and very indignant.

Why did her mother's words dismiss all the feelings she had poured into her first love as a young girl?

It was truly ridiculous; just because her own marriage to her father was an arranged family union, she wouldn't allow her daughter to experience first love as a young woman?

Is there any mother who speaks to her daughter like that?

Why did she say she was inferior to the Crown Princess?

It was just baseless talk with no comparison. Since there had been no confrontation, how could she know she was inferior to her?

Mu Rou Xian's slender fingers intertwined, and she got up and walked quickly outside.

Her personal maid quickly called out to her, "Young mistress, slow down! You haven't changed yet!"

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu's carriage had arrived at the entrance of Prince Kang's Estate.

She hadn't sent a visiting card to the Princess Consort; the thought that she had been back for two days and hadn't visited her Imperial Aunt made her excitedly come without thinking twice.

Imperial Aunt had been taking the Warm Jade Pill for quite some time now. She came today to check her pulse and see if it was time for acupuncture.

Who knew that upon reaching the entrance, she happened to see Princess Consort Kang coming out, surrounded by attendants, looking like she was about to leave.

The little girl had just gotten off the carriage and met Princess Consort Kang coming out, both of them愣了一下 (were momentarily stunned).

Princess Consort Kang's eyes immediately lit up, and she happily rushed forward, laughing heartily, "Oh, I knew it! Why were magpies chirping outside my room so early this morning? It turns out our Qiao Qiao was coming! Hahaha, I was just about to go look for you, and unexpectedly, you came over."

Princess Consort Kang was overjoyed. She stepped forward and took Qiao Mu's little arm, affectionately smiling, "Quick, let Imperial Aunt see if you've gotten thinner since going to the academy."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel speechless. "No, I haven't gotten thinner at all."

"I heard your Imperial Academy's dean is quite stingy, and the food isn't very good either."
