"It has been several years; Zhonglin has grown so tall."
Standing before Xie Wuling was none other than Chengshi, the lady of the Prince Regent's Mansion. Rumor had it that she was as kind-hearted as she was beautiful. In her youth, she had been a celebrated beauty of the Imperial Capital, though her humble origins had led to years of condescension from the noble ladies of the city. Yet, to everyone's surprise, once she entered the Prince Regent's Mansion and gave birth to the young Prince, she firmly established her position. Even then, she remained humble and unpretentious; during the years her son was stationed in the Northwest, she had unhesitatingly chosen to accompany him. Now that she had just returned to the capital, the mansion’s threshold was being worn thin by visitors.
Regrettably, the Princess and the Prince rarely appeared in public and had rejected countless invitations, making the Princess's arrival at the Estate of the Duke of Qing today a truly major event.
