Qiao Xuan felt a sense of melancholy wash over her.
Shao Yunduan tenderly embraced her and gently patted her back to offer comfort. "Princess Shuangfu is already doing quite well. Perhaps leaving the palace is a blessing in disguise for someone as unloved as her."
Qiao Xuan began to feel a glimmer of relief and managed to force a smile. "You might be right. Prince Nuo Nuo seems to treat her well, but she's come to a distant land for marriage. We can't be certain when we'll meet again, so she will undoubtedly feel a bit sad."
Shao Yunduan replied, "Perhaps only for a while."
Qiao Xuan burst into laughter, a warmth spreading through her heart.
The following day, as everyone prepared for their departure, Qiao Xuan, Qiao Wei, and the others went to bid farewell to Princess Shuangfu. Since they had already conveyed their goodbyes the previous day, they didn't avoid Qiao Wei today.
