Chapter 457: Chapter 457: She Has Nothing to Panic About_1

As she thought this, Linghe, despite being extremely worn out and feeling very unwell, couldn’t help but smile, radiating sheer happiness as if her dreams had already come true.

Just as Linghe was about to drift off to sleep, she heard a clamor, "Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess, great joy for the Commandery Princess."

At the mention of great joy, Linghe immediately opened her eyes and then saw a maidservant from her eldest sister-in-law’s chamber rush in.

Before Linghe could ask, the maidservant, upon seeing her, excitedly said, "Commandery Princess, the Crown Prince’s Wife sent me to tell you that everything has worked out. Many people have come to the mansion to see you, Commandery Princess, to congratulate you."

The maidservant was sent secretly by Linghe’s eldest sister-in-law as soon as they had entered the Pingjun Prince’s Mansion, to give Linghe some reassurance so she wouldn’t get carried away with joy and forget decorum when the time came.

"Really?!" Linghe’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the maidservant’s words, and she struggled to sit up.

The maidservants in Linghe’s room quickly went forward to help Linghe sit up and propped a pillow behind her. Once Linghe was seated and leaning comfortably, they retreated to the side.

"Really!" the maidservant nodded vigorously. "People are already here in the mansion, there are so many, including esteemed personages like Princesses and Princess Consorts."

Linghe had already believed her; who would joke about such a matter? Her question about the truth was simply an involuntary expression of her overwhelming happiness, and now, hearing that Princess Consorts and Princesses had come to congratulate her, she had no doubt whatsoever.

After giving a reward, Linghe let the maidservant leave.

But considering that she was not only a Commandery Princess now but also the future consort of the King of Eternal Victory, her status had risen, and she had to put on more airs. Thus, although she was bursting with joy inside, Linghe made a great effort to suppress it, not wanting to show too much excitement.

Linghe waited and waited and waited, and at last, she heard the sound of many people approaching, their footsteps and voices in conversation becoming more distinct. Among those voices, she recognized the Seventh Princess, the Tenth Princess, and the Fourteenth Princess.

As the voices grew nearer, Linghe’s excitement surged even more, happy as could be, yet she had to act as if she knew nothing, hoping that people would fawn over her, toady up to her, and offer their congratulations when the time came.

In the past, it had always been her who fawned over them, but now it was finally their turn to fawn over her, and the thought made her heart leap with delight!

"Linghe, we have come to see you, Linghe," someone called out cheerfully.

Following that, An Jing and a large group of high-ranking women cascaded into Linghe’s boudoir, while the Imperial Physician, observing proper etiquette, waited outside.

Linghe had not expected An Jing to come too, and at the sight of An Jing, she was initially taken aback, but she didn’t make too much of it and politely said, "Linghe is unwell and unable to rise and greet the Princess Consort and the Princesses; please forgive me."

An Jing approached the bedside and smiled, "Since you are too ill to rise, we naturally wouldn’t ask it of you. Just rest comfortably. We heard from your father that you were unwell and have come to check on you. Also, the Emperor has graciously allowed me as the Princess Consort to bring an Imperial Physician to examine you."

With that, An Jing called out, "Doctor Jiang, please come in and have a look at the Commandery Princess."

"Yes," Doctor Jiang, who had been waiting at the entrance, responded respectfully upon hearing An Jing call and then respectfully went inside.

Linghe was somewhat surprised that everyone hadn’t congratulated her first but instead were all smiling at her, and what’s more, the face of her mother, the imperial consort, looked quite displeased. While it was strange to her, she still extended her hand, allowing Doctor Jiang to take her pulse.

She was genuinely ill, so there was nothing to panic about.
