Chapter 12: Old and New新旧

Butterfly''s story was legendary. She had been the most outstanding, legendary, and capable old maid who married the reigning Emperor in a breathtaking turn of events.

崔蝶成为了一个传奇，她是最出色最传奇最有能力最春风得意的老姑娘，然后一鸣惊人，一嫁就嫁给了当今皇帝。

Now, Cui Yu, the daughter of the distinguished Cui family, was older than the average unmarried woman. Was she aiming to become the Crown Princess?

Within the palace, Cui Yu walked hand in hand with Imperial Noble Consort Cui in the imperial garden. The Noble Consort ordered everyone around them to leave, as she and her niece wished to have a private stroll and conversation.

皇宫中，崔玉扶着崔贵妃的手行走于御花园中，贵妃让身旁的人全部撤下，她们姑侄二人要单独散散心，说些体己话。

"Yu''er, are you satisfied with the current state of the Cui family?"
