Su Xinyi raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by 'a bit more'?"
Yan Junchu smiled, "You'll know once you're there."
Su Xinyi did not press further, secretly harboring a guess in her mind.
After the Crown Prince hurriedly left, Su Xinyi began to dress up. She couldn't be sloppy in the evening. The formal attire of the Crown Princess was on, freshly made by the Clothes Bureau according to Su Xinyi's current waistline. Because Su Xinyi instructed them to make the waist looser, with the skirts hanging loosely, her pregnancy was not evident.
Once the whole set of regalia was donned, she immediately felt her footsteps heavier.
When Su Xinyi saw that the time was just about right, she got up and headed to Yuanhui Palace.
In winter, the sky turned dark early. Halfway through, palace attendants began lighting lanterns one after the other. Su Xinyi watched the palace lights unfold along the path, breaking through the night, adding a bit of warmth.
