Once Fengguang reached the door, she saw Prime Minister Xia Chao and his wife Wang Ci. Regarding Fengguang's attire, the pair nodded their heads in satisfaction. Once they got into the carriage, Fengguang was also helped into the carriage by a servant girl.
Wang Ci was seated next to her and across from Xia Chao. Although the pair appeared amicable and respectful of one another, in reality, they had already separated as a couple. Sixteen years ago when the title of first beauty belonged to Wang Ci, Xia Chao spent all his time and energy to convince Wang Ci to choose him amidst all her suitors. They were the ideal couple and the first year after marriage, they had quite the honeymoon stage but soon after, Xia Chao found a feeling of freshness in Wang Ci's personal maid and thus, Xia Qimeng was born and she was younger than Fengguang by three months in age.
Wang Ci was a prideful woman and she didn't express any anger or throw any tantrums. But naturally, she also wouldn't lower her dignity and suffer, to deliberately welcome such a man. Xia Chao was also not a man who would admit his wrongs and so, to others they became an admirable wedded pair. However, whenever no one was around, their only form of communication was nodding heads.
Xia Fengguang was close with Wang Ci and she wasn't afraid of Xia Chao but she also didn't like Xia Chao because she hated Xia Qimeng. When Fengguang accepted this world's memories, personally she hated Xia Qimeng too. Mainly because generally speaking, she disliked every world's male and female leads because those two existences were obstacles for her in completing her missions.
The imperial city was very large and it took approximately an hour for the carriage to reach the palace gates. No matter the title or status, everyone had to get off from the carriage in order to be granted entry. The only exceptions were if the emperor had granted a special privilege or if they were the crown prince otherwise no one was exempt from this rule.
