There were benefits to doing it until late into the night.
Once Gu Qingjiu got onto the plane, she slept from the start to the end during the long flight.
Only when they arrived in Penalan and were brought to the royal palace did she wake up.
Dressed in an elegant coat and red felt hat, Hilda exuded the air of a rich woman as she came over to Gu Qingjiu.
“Congrats on winning the international competition.”
Hilda congratulated Gu Qingjiu with a broad beam. Clearly, she had found out about this matter.
“Mm, thank you.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. Hilda held her hand. “Now that you’re here, I need to seek your opinion on certain details of the wedding.”
“Okay.”
After all, this was her wedding, so Gu Qingjiu didn’t reply with ‘Anything.’

Throughout the summer vacation, Gu Qingjiu stayed in the palace. As the wedding approached, she could see the palace’s style changing bit by bit.
Such as, a lot of things had to be prepared in advance and shipped from another country. Precious roses that went for an exorbitant price for a stalk were transported in bunches.
Once they received the flowers, they had to be cared for for the time being, lest they withered after the flowering period.
There was an extravagance that Gu Qingjiu had never experienced at a wedding, luxuries that she never thought she would get to enjoy in this lifetime.
These things probably exceeded most women’s dreams.
Helian Niancheng was busy outside, but Gu Qingjiu had no idea what with.
Gu Qingjiu, who had nothing better to do, played with the royal family’s kids the entire day.
These kids were particularly fond of her. Especially when they saw Gu Qingjiu’s incredible shooting skills, they couldn’t help but admire her.
Gu Qingjiu had a smooth time in the palace.
Her parents would be fetched over in a few days, and her friends would also be brought over in a dedicated plane approaching the wedding date. Though many people were aware that Gu Qingjiu was about to get married, they didn’t know her fiance’s background.
Such as Yu Bao’er and the rest.
Although she was the bridesmaid, she was still in the dark up.
Today, Gu Qingjiu, who had nothing better to do, was playing ball with a bunch of kids. These kids were pampered since they were born into royalty, and the life they led was unbelievably extravagant. But Gu Qingjiu felt that at certain times, they were no different from ordinary kids.
In the morning, after breakfast, having played for ten-odd minutes, Gu Qingjiu started feeling tired.
She asked a servant to pour her a glass of milk, then sat on the sofa in the living room and refused to move.
There was this little prince from the neighboring Morian family, who was only six years old. With a head of golden curly hair and large eyes that resembled the sea, he was ridiculously good-looking.
He ran over and tugged at Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, Qingjiu, let’s play together.”
These kids called Gu Qingjiu by her name in awkward-sounding Mandarin. They happily asked Gu Qingjiu to play together with them.
Gu Qingjiu stroked his face and waved a hand lazily. “I’ll pass. You can start to play first. Sister will wait for a little while.”
Lately, due to some reason, she became lazy. After playing for a short while, she would not feel like moving.
And recently, her appetite had increased as well.
Perhaps due to her inexperience, the slow-witted Gu Qingjiu didn’t realize what was going on.
She merely felt that life in the royalty was too decadent, leading to her becoming lazy lately and not fond of moving as before.
