Pei An's day was spent in boredom in the palace. Just when she thought her days would continue to be this way forever, a servant came in with a message from the empress.
When she heard that she was invited to the Palace of Dusk, Pei An felt excited as well as nervous.
This would be the first time she met the empress after being betrothed to her son, the crown prince.
Pei An had seen the empress once a few years back when she was still so young but she knew the mother of the nation was a very regal person. The empress was far in league to compare to anyone else in the palace.
So, in order to impress her future mother-in-law, Pei An took extra care to prepare herself with her maids' help.
A few hours later, Pei An was escorted by the empress' people to her quarters.
It was an invitation for lunch, so Pei an made sure to come prepared. She wore a soft-colored fabric and only used delicate hair ornaments and jewelries.
