After Qinghe left, Zhufang came in. She didn't ask anything, but took the dew and boiled it.
"Qinghe is one of ours," Xie Wanyu said.
Zhufang was stunned and looked around to make sure she was the only one in the room, then realized that Xie Wanyu was talking to her.
"Yes, I have written it down." After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Madam, you shouldn't have told me this."
"You are someone I trust." Xie Wanyu said.
Little did they know that just because of her trust, Zhu Fang never betrayed her until his death.
The day of the palace banquet came soon.
Early in the morning, the entrance to the palace became lively, and the wives who were related to the concubines in the palace went there early to visit.
Because Xie Wanyu had to go there with Xiao Jing, she waited until noon to pack up.
Aunt He's hair was thick and ugly, so Xie Wanyu asked Zhufang to do it this time. Unexpectedly, she was so skillful that she gave Xie Wanyu a snake bun.
It has the dignity of a married woman while still being playful. The main thing is that it does not require a wig and is completely done with real hair.
Xie Wanyu is not very old, so it is very suitable to wear her hair in a bun like this. She looks charming and charming every time she frowns and smiles.
"Madam, this kind of bun is really suitable for you. Zhufang is so skillful." Aunt He couldn't help but admired after reading it. "But, the old lady has told me that you are the mistress of the house after all, so you have to be more calm. This bun is too much." So soft.”
In the eyes of the elders, Xie Wanyu's bun and makeup must put beauty first, and must be dignified.
It was because of this in her previous life that not only Xiao Jing, but also any man did not want to take another look at Xie Wanyu, a woman like Xie Wanyu who behaved with dignity and seriousness.
Xie Wanyu picked up the bronze mirror and looked at herself, "Mommy, I am in my prime now, why bother living like that."
She followed the steps step by step and managed the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, but in the end, her family was destroyed and she died of poisoning. Today, she only needs to live well for herself and her family.
"Zhu Fang, take out my pair of pearl earrings." Xie Wanyu said.
Aunt He originally intended to stop it, but it was rare to see Xie Wanyu so happy, so she had to give up.
After a long while, a boy came over to say that Xiao Jing was already waiting at the door.
Xie Wanyu then took Zhufang out with her.
There were two carriages at the door, one for the master and one for the servants.
Seeing that there was no one beside the carriage, Xie Wanyu knew that Xiao Jing had already got on the carriage, so she took Zhu Fang's hand and got into the carriage.
Sure enough, he saw Xiao Jing sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating. He glanced sideways at Xie Wanyu, and then froze.
Today, Xie Wanyu wore a Yunjin Cantonese embroidered skirt, which sparkled in the sun. In addition, she did not wear her usual heavy peony bun, which made her look a little less solemn and a little more charming.
She was obviously more beautiful than Xue Xuening, but Xiao Jing didn't want to admit this fact.
"Frivolous." He spat out two words coldly with his thin lips.
Xie Wanyu didn't even look at him, let alone talk to him.
The atmosphere in the carriage was unusually quiet, even though Xie Wanyu felt Xiao Jing peeking at her a few times. If it had been in the past, she would have been blushing and stumbling around.
Now she felt nothing but disgust.
After arriving at the main hall of the palace, everyone started chatting in groups.
Xie Wanyu saw her father and brother from a distance, but they were talking to King Qin and could not come over in time, so they could only nod to her.
King Qin seemed to feel her presence and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
Then when he saw Xie Wanyu's outfit, he shrank his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xie Wanyu also saw him. At this time, in front of this group of richly dressed young men, he still stood out from the crowd, with a tall and straight figure and peerless appearance, which made the women unable to take their eyes away.
"No wonder you can't even see me. It turns out that I was seduced by the man who banished me to immortality!"
Lin Yanran came over, took Xie Wanyu's arm and teased her.
Xie Wanyu came back to her senses and gave her an angry look, "You are still talking about me, why don't you look straight at me?"
"If I were not of the same race as him, I would definitely threaten my life to marry him. Otherwise, I would become his shoes and socks in my next life." Lin Yanran looked yearning.
Xie Wanyu was amused by her and laughed.
Lin Yanran was more cheerful than Xie Wanyu and didn't care at all, "Look at those noble ladies, their mouths are watering."
Xie Wanyu followed Lin Yanran's hand and looked over. Sure enough, those women all blushed and stared at Tai Shuqi for a moment.
But he seemed to be used to it and didn't care about it at all.
"You are already married, wipe your saliva quickly." Xie Wanyu teased Lin Yanran.
The two of them immediately started laughing and talking about secrets in their boudoir. It was nothing more than which girl got married and whose boy passed the exam.
At this moment, the voices in the hall became quieter.
Everyone looked over and saw Princess Lingyun walking in.
She has a distinguished status and is very popular with the emperor. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, her status has also increased. Although she is only a princess, she has received the princess's salary.
The brocade floor-length skirt on her body attracted everyone's attention. The hairpins on her head jingled, making her whole body look jeweled.
There were many young talents who favored her, but she never paid attention to them.
Like a proud peacock, she swept her almond-shaped eyes around the hall, and finally fixed her gaze on Xie Wanyu's face.
Seeing her approaching, Lin Yanran pulled Xie Wanyu to salute her.
"Are you Xie Wanyu?" Princess Lingyun said coldly.
Xie Wanyu raised her head and smiled slightly, "Exactly."
"Did I tell you to raise your head?" Princess Lingyun immediately turned cold and scolded.
Her voice wasn't loud, obviously because she didn't want to be noticed.
Xie Wanyu looked at her and said, "I am a marquise, not lower than you. The reason why I salute you is to respect you. Now, you should return the salute to me."
Lin Yanran looked at Xie Wanyu with wide eyes.
In the past, Xie Wanyu didn't like to cause trouble. If she encountered such a thing, she would endure it.
What's happening now?
Princess Lingyun's face changed, her cardamom-coated fingers gathered together slightly, and then let go again, "So what? Even if I kill you now, it's just to eliminate harm for the people."
Xie Wanyu knew that Princess Lingyun was deeply bewitched by Xue Xuening, and also knew why she came today, so she would not be angry at all, "So what if you don't return the favor? I just know the rules."
She smiled.
Lin Yanran pulled her sleeves to signal her to stop talking.
After all, Princess Lingyun was deeply loved by the emperor.
How long has it been since the emperor ascended the throne? When did Princess Lingyun say this? She instantly felt that she had been greatly insulted.
"Bold!" She raised her hand and hit Xie Wanyu in the face.
But her hand was caught in mid-air.
Xie Wanyu blinked her eyes, and that peerless face was actually in front of her. His tall body was blocking her face, and her voice was cold, "Princess Lingyun, you are so majestic!"
