Ah!!
It wasn't Song Feiwan who was sharp, but the female ghost.
She instinctively slapped her.
Feeling the warm touch in her palm, she realized this wasn't a ghost; it was a person?
"Song Feiwan, how dare you hit me!"
Only Rong Anning could be so loud in Bixiao Palace.
Seeing her pitifully covering her face, Song Feiwan sat up from the bed and said helplessly, "You barged in without an invitation and came so close; I just had a moment of unsteady hand."
Rong Anning huffed, "I just came to see if you were awake! My aunt said you were staying here, so I came in to find you!"
Song Feiwan conceded, "Alright, it’s my fault. How about I show you something?"
Rong Anning's eyes widened slightly, and the other side of her face turned suspiciously red.
"Who—who said you could coax me?" She averted her gaze, speaking in a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Song Feiwan couldn't help but laugh, tilting her head and asking, "Why did you come to the palace so early?"
Rong Anning was distracted by her question and replied, "Of course, I heard that Cousin Chen Wang has returned! I actually wanted to come yesterday, but my parents stopped me."
"He’s not in Bixiao Palace."
"I know."
"Then why didn't you go to Tianji Palace? Why did you come here?"
The blush on Rong Anning's face returned with a vengeance; she no longer cared about covering it up and waved her hand heavily.
"Ugh! Why do you have so many questions? The young lady can go wherever she wants!"
"Alright, alright." Song Feiwan closed her mouth but couldn't help but smile teasingly.
Rong Anning felt even more embarrassed and annoyed.
Knowing that Cousin Chen Wang had returned, Song Feiwan must be quite pleased with herself. Yet, Rong Anning had rushed over to find her without even exchanging a few words with her aunt.
Perhaps life had been too comfortable for her!
"Get up, stop sleeping, and come with me to greet my aunt!" Rong Anning urged her impatiently.
Song Feiwan sighed in resignation and called for a palace maid to help her change clothes. Rong Anning was more familiar with the route to Bixiao Palace than she was, so once she was ready, Rong Anning led her there to pay respects to Consort Rong.
As soon as they met, both were taken aback by the stunning appearance of Consort Rong. Today, she was dressed in splendid attire, her eyes and brows radiating joy. Adorned with priceless jewelry, even her armor was embedded with precious gems from rare shells, exquisite beyond compare. With her beauty accentuated by the silk ornaments, she appeared even more graceful.
Rong Anning stared for a moment before exclaiming, "Aunt, you look so beautiful today! Where are you off to?"
"To see the Empress," Consort Rong replied.
Song Feiwan snapped back to reality and asked, "Is Mother going to pay respects? Do you need me to accompany you?"
Consort Rong explained, "According to the rules, both you and Yu'er should go. However, it's still early; you can wait until the other concubines have dispersed before heading over."
Song Feiwan nodded in understanding. In the palace, aside from the Empress and the esteemed consorts, no one else held a higher rank than Prince Chen and her. When they encountered them, it was customary to show respect. However, when faced with favored newcomers or respected elders, the greetings would be more profound.
Consort Rong valued Xiao Yu and certainly did not want her son and daughter-in-law bowing their heads to others. Moreover, since Xiao Yu had been away for a long time, Consort Rong didn't want him to be the center of attention upon his return.
Having enjoyed favor in the harem for many years, she had always been pursued by others; it had never been the case where she had to chase after anyone herself. Arriving a little late with Xiao Yu would ensure that no one dared to comment.
Before leaving, Consort Rong instructed Rong Anning, "Your cousin will arrive shortly; until then, keep an eye on Feiwan."
Rong Anning obediently replied, "Got it, Aunt. Don't worry."
Once they were alone in the hall, she coldly glanced at her beautiful face and said proudly:
