Her mouth wasn’t in any less pain throughout the entire remaining journey.
On the first day of early sumr, the convoy arrived in Lincheng. People flocked all over the city as they watched, eager to see Princess Yong An’s beauty. However, the windows of the carriage remained closed. The convoy sent Princess Yong An all the way to the palace as they entered through the main entrance that had gates carved full of dragons, phoenixes and pegasi(2).

The arrangents of the palace have already been managed properly. The palace where Lin Feilu lived was refurbished by Song Jinglan a few years ago, and it was close to his Lin An Palace. Later, he personally bestowed the plaque of the new palace as ‘Yong An Palace’. It had been empty for many years but finally had the chance to usher in its owner.
In the Great Lin Empire, horse-drawn carriages were not allowed to walk in the palace at will. Lin Feilu didn’t know if the Song Empire didn’t have this rule or if Little Pretty Boy was just indulging her again. At any rate, the tremors she felt from the moving carriage throughout their journey stopped when they arrived at the entrance of the Yong An Palace.
After the carriage and horses entered the palace, the envoys dispersed to their posts. Currently, only four maids and the palace servant who drove the carriage remained behind. The servants who followed the Princess from the Great Lin Empire were also present, trailing behind the carriage.
A group of maids and eunuchs assigned to the Yong An Palace were already kneeling in front of the palace. After the carriage and the horses stopped, they all said respectfully, “This humble servant welcos Your Highness the Princess.”
The wedding wasn’t held yet. Hence, it was natural that she would be addressed by her previous identity.
These people probably didn’t know their Emperor was still sitting in the carriage, right?
Lin Feilu poked the calm person next to her, “Are you going to go down with ? Your presence won’t scare the others, right?”
Song Jinglan smiled and held her hand, “No, let’s go.”
Songyu opened the wide curtain outside, and she led Lin Feilu out of the carriage. The Princess looked around curiously before she said to the palace servants kneeling in front of her, “All of you may rise.”
Everyone answered affirmatively, and then they got up one by one. When they each showed their most respectful smiles and looked at the Princess who ca from afar, they saw His Majesty standing next to her.
Palace servants, “?”
Lin Feilu saw the awkward frozen smiles of the palace servants on their faces. They even lowered their heads, bodies shivering out of fear as a layer of cold sweat ford.
She turned her head and glared at Song Jinglan.
You said that you wouldn’t scare them!
The instigator didn’t realise that anything was wrong and led her in, “Go on, see if you like it here.”
Lin Feilu saw the word ‘Yong An Palace’ as soon as she ca down the carriage. She felt a surge of warmth in her heart, knowing that he would definitely arrange her living quarters well. However, she never would have thought that after stepping into the palace gates, the sight in front of her would surprise her to the point of being unable to speak.
Wasn’t this the Mingyue Palace???
Every plant, every tree, every brick and every tile was present. The flower field, the animal house next to it and even the pogranate tree in the yard were all the sa.
But a closer look to them revealed that there were differences.
Everything was newer, more exquisite and even more gorgeous than the items she owned in the Mingyue Palace.
She turned her head to look at the person behind her.
Song Jinglan smiled and asked her warmly, “Do you like it?”
