Chapter 431: The Eve of the Palace Banquet
Lin Yaoyao opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, with disbelief written all over her face, but Lin Huiru pretended she didn't see it at all, and was sipping tea there wholeheartedly. There is no free lunch in the world.
Originally, Lin Yaoyao wanted to say something, but she knew that Lin Huiru was worth five or two taels, so this meeting was simply trying to make things difficult for her! But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and
Lin Yaoyao could only bear it, " I see, thank you sister."
When she went out, she happened to meet the embroiderer who came to deliver the clothes.
The box looks golden, just a box must be very valuable, she can't see the clothes inside, but just looking at this battle, it must be extraordinary.
"Be careful, if you break it, you won't be able to pay for your life." The woman on the side urged the embroiderer, and the two walked quickly into the house under the guidance of the servant.
Lin Yaoyao rolled her eyes, and most likely she could guess that this dress should be what Lin Huiru would wear on New Year's Eve.
Obviously they are sisters, but there is a huge difference. Lin Huiru will eat the best delicacies in the palace, watch singing and dancing, talk and laugh with high-ranking officials and nobles, but she will clean the toilet in the princess mansion!? Why all this
? It wasn't hers!?
She was angrily carrying stones on the street to vent her grievances, but suddenly there were many more feet in her sight.
"Bold! How dare you block His Royal Highness King Xiang's way!?" The servant next to him yelled, and Lin Yaoyao was startled. .
"Your Majesty didn't do it on purpose, Your Highness, please forgive me!" She didn't learn anything else, but begging for mercy is very flexible.
In the carriage, Tang Junyi had just passed by the snack street. Curious about what else Lin Huiru could do, he sent Yufeng to buy one by one. Kung Fu talked to her, "Who?"
"I haven't seen it. I just came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you want to deal with it?" Yufeng hesitated. After all, Tang Junyi had special treatment for the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he would have been dragged away earlier.
Tang Junyi frowned when he heard the words, lifted the curtain of the carriage to take a look, and saw that Lin Yaoyao was kneeling with a sneer on his lips, "No, when did the Prime Minister come out with such soft bones?" Kneeling at every turn,
but It's not the character of Xiangfu.
Yufeng shook his head, "It's not from the Xiangfu, but it seems to have something to do with the Xiangfu." "
Oh? Tell me?" Tang Junyi couldn't help being curious.
The carriage set off again, leaving Lin Yaoyao to get up in fear. She had heard that King Xiang was tyrannical, but she didn't expect to bump into her today.
"It's Mrs. Lin's younger sister, but Mrs. Lin's family is adopted, so it doesn't matter, but the relationship between the two seems to be bad, and she was taken by Princess Anning to be the current person." Now that they have Bai Qianyi, they are together It is even more difficult for the palace to inquire about news.
Tang Junyi put another chestnut fried in sugar into his mouth, "Interesting, I didn't expect her to have such a vicious side, find out what this woman has done." "Yes."
Yufeng responded, but sighed helplessly in his heart Take a breath.
Regarding Lin Huiru, Tang Junyi is still curious about everything. When he saw Lin Huiru's dog before, Tang Junyi wanted to find out where it came from and raise one. Unfortunately, it was different from what he thought. It was only found in Xiaofan Kingdom. If it was troublesome, it would be even more troublesome to keep him, so he gave up.
In the prime minister's mansion, Lin Huiru was in trouble looking at the new clothes.
Good-looking is good-looking, but it is too gorgeous, with pearls and gemstones pierced on it, and the matching head and face are gifted by the emperor. This outfit is priceless, and it hurts my heart to wear it.
If there are any pros and cons, she feels that this dress is more valuable than her life.
Until the night was getting dark, when Xu Ziqiao came back, Lin Huiru sat on the chair and fell asleep. He had no choice but to go up and pat her on the cheek, "If you sleep like this, you will catch a cold."
Lin Huiru opened her eyes and stretched her waist, still thinking about the clothes, "Can I not wear this one? It's too gorgeous, I can't stand it."
Xu Ziqiao weighed the clothes, but it wasn't heavy either. It is mainly warm in the palace, and it is embarrassing if the clothes are too heavy, and the gorgeousness is indeed gorgeous. The powder bottom skirt is matched with radiant gold and silver threads, and pearls and gemstones are embellished on it. It looks really cumbersome, but he I also want to see how Lin Huiru wears it.
"It will be an annual event, and there will be envoys from all over the world. Both men and women will be dressed up to attend. If you don't wear this, what do you want to wear?" Xu Ziqiao sat down and played with another box of noodles.
Lin Huiru rested her chin and thought about it. This is indeed a problem. What else can she wear if she is not wearing a fancy dress? If it is ordinary, it will not give people a sense of simplicity, but it will only lose Xu Ziqiao's face.
But this...
"Don't worry, go try it on first. Maybe it's not as inappropriate as you think." After speaking, Xu Ziqiao put on the clothes in one hand, and walked behind the screen with Lin Huiru in the other.
Unexpectedly, the clothes fit Lin Huiru's body unexpectedly, but after all, it will only be a lining, and makeup and hair bun will be needed at that time.
"I feel...cool." Lin Huiru rubbed her shoulders, frowned and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Go and change it. After you put it on, you will make the country and the city beautiful. There will be many occasions like this in the future, and there will be many scenes where you need to wear fancy clothes. You always need to get used to it." Xu Ziqiao touched Lin Huiru's head and smiled. road.
Time passed quickly, and the big banquet was held at dawn, and the people who could enter the palace to participate were officials of the third rank or above. Although there were restrictions, the number of people who entered the palace was not ordinary because they brought their family members.
Since it is the New Year's Eve, when it is a good time, there will be caring people who will show their hospitality to ask His Majesty for rewards at this time, and maybe they can ask for a good fortune bestowed by the emperor.
Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao walked slowly in front together, and from time to time they could receive some uncomfortable eyes for Lin Huiru.
Originally, there were quite a few well-known young masters in the capital, but Xu Ziqiao's talent, fame, wealth and appearance abruptly compared several highnesses and princes, and many young ladies from aristocratic families were moved.
Xu Ziqiao had rejected all his righteous words before, and His Majesty looked at him with admiration because of this. Now there are very few people who dare to provoke him openly, and many officials' money is still in Lin Huiru's hands. If they don't want to, they will have to earn half of the money in the capital.
Nowadays, the grain, oil, rice, noodles, rouge, gouache, and food business in the capital are almost all monopolized by Lin Huiru. Cloth is fine, but Lin Huiru is a little powerless when it comes to gold, silver and jade.
Not to mention Miss Shijia, even officials rarely dare to mention this matter.
