Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Rely on Oneself
January came and went in the blink of an eye, and in a few days, it would be the grand ceremony to establish the Crown Prince. Before that event, the princess who was to be married off would also enter the capital.
Zhulan was very curious; there was no helping it. Despite living in the capital for so many years, this was the first time she would see a princess who had come for a political marriage.
Zhulan asked Xue Han, “It is said that Princess Aerola is a rare beauty. Have you seen her portrait in the palace?”
Xue Han shook her head. “Mother, I haven’t seen any portraits. There are none in the Empress Mother’s quarters nor in the Empress’s quarters. I think no portraits have been sent here.”
Upon hearing this, Zhulan mused, “That’s quite interesting. There are no portraits, yet rumors of her beauty circulate. Is this self-promotion or is there another scheme at play?”
Xue Han added, “Anyway, anyone sent for a political marriage is definitely not a simple person.”
A political marriage is for seizing interests; would they send someone who understands nothing, as if delivering vegetables to the harem?
Zhulan said thoughtfully, “It’s curious timing for this princess to arrive, just before the ceremony to establish the Crown Prince.”
What do you think?
