Chapter 38: The Palace Goes to the Banquet
For a while, Yunluo was completely sleepy, and directly pulled off the extra hair ornament on his head, leaving only a jasper hairpin.
"Miss?" Mother Wu exclaimed, but after seeing Yunluo finish pulling out her hair accessories, she began to wipe the powder on her face again, "Miss, what are you doing here?"
"I'm being myself. Yunluo blinked, and as he spoke, he had already put on his own makeup.
A moment later, a figure wearing a light green Luo skirt walked out of the Linglong Pavilion, with a petite figure and a slender waist that was not in a hand, like a weak willow supporting the wind, as if it would fall down at any time.
Looking at the face again, the skin is already dark, but it is only covered with a thin layer of fine powder, but it looks much more natural than before.
"Miss, is this really okay?" Mother Wu was still trying to convince Yunluo, she refused to wear more powder, and even refused to wear more hair accessories, even the gorgeous clothes sent by the eldest lady were not willing to wear.
The Luo skirt she is wearing now was bought for her by the eldest young master before leaving.
And the bracelet she wore on her wrist was not the one that Madame sent yesterday, but a transparent bracelet of unknown material, very ordinary.
"Of course you can, otherwise I wouldn't be comfortable even if I went. Yunluo comforted Wu's mother, she was much more nervous than herself at the banquet this time.
Hearing her say this, Wu's mother didn't say much.
The carriage was already waiting outside, and Yunluo and Wu's mother walked towards the main entrance.
Speaking of which, this is not only the first time she has gone to a banquet, but also the first time she has walked out of the gate of Yunfu.
The two of them walked to the gate, and they saw Bai Lianyue's mother and daughter walking from not far away.
Yun Xin wore a long skirt with violet colors painted on hibiscus, and the tight-fitting waist design revealed her girlish charm.
And the most surprising thing is her face, which was scarred yesterday, but now it is fair and smooth, without flaws.
This...... How did she do it?
Yunluo was a little incredulous, this was not at all something that could be done with makeup technology in this era, and it didn't look like she was wearing a mask, could it be that she had inexplicably recovered from her wounds like last time, or was it ......
Yunluo narrowed his eyes, as if he understood something.
And Yun Xin, who was approaching, looked at her with disdain after seeing Yun Luo, raised his chin and said, "Just with your disgusting appearance, you are also worthy of participating in the prince's birthday banquet?"
Yunluo habitually lowered his head and did not make any response.
"Hmph, our Yun family's face will make you lose your face. Saying that, Yun Xin turned his head to Bai Lianyue and said, "Mother, I don't want to enter the palace with her, I will lose my identity as a daughter." β
"Don't worry. Bai Lianyue glanced at Yunluo, "My mother has already arranged another carriage for you, you can go quickly." β
After hearing this, Yun Xin threw Yun Luo a roll of the eyes, and then walked away with his skirt in a lively manner, like a proud rooster.
"Miss, don't take their words to heart. Mother Wu took Yunluo's hand and comforted her nervously, afraid that she would be unhappy.
"I'm fine. Yunluo raised her head and smiled at Mother Wu, then pressed her hand, looked at Yunluo's flowery back, and whispered: "Later, she will know who is disgraced to the Yun family." β
Looking at her expression that seemed to be smiling, Wu's mother was stunned.
This...... Was this really the young lady she knew?
"Ah, is she the waste of the Yun family?"
"Yes, I just heard about it before, and it turns out that she really looks so ugly. β
"God, the birthmark on her forehead is too horrible for the faint of heart. β
"I really don't know why the prince invited her, do you really think of her as a fiancΓ©e?"
"How is it possible, the prince is just formalizing, but he doesn't want her to really have the courage to come out. β
"Of course, I heard that she has never walked out of the Yun family, how can she give up such a good opportunity this time?"
"It's shameless......"
The banquet had not yet begun, but there were already a lot of people who arrived, and the ladies were all temporarily arranged to rest in the Jinlan Hall of the Imperial Palace.
As soon as Yunluo stepped into the temple door, the pot exploded inside, some whispering, some whispering, and some loudly mocking.
Mother Wu, who came with her, had a very ugly face, but looking at Yunluo, she didn't care at all, as if those slanderous words had nothing to do with her at all.
She silently walked to a corner and sat down, without even raising her head.
It's just that as soon as she sat down, a loud voice came into her ears, "Yunxin, is that your third sister?"
"I don't have such an ugly sister. Yun Xin glanced at Yun Luo, full of disdain.
"It's better to see than to hear, and she's even uglier than the legend says. β
"Hahahaha!!"
Before this sentence fell, the sound of laughter sounded in the huge hall, and all the beauties laughed and trembled, but as the object of ridicule, Yunluo was still indifferent.
However, although she lowered her eyes, she had already swept the people in the hall, she knew the girl in yellow who had just spoken to Yun Xin, and she had seen it more than once.
She was the girl who pestered Nan Yixuan on Juhua Street before, Yunluo didn't know who she was at the time, but later recognized her when she went to Yu's house to steal things, so she stole her personal jewelry.
Yu Fei, the eldest lady of the Yu family.
Seeing that Yunluo was silent and did not reflect, Yu Fei leaned over to Yunxin's side again and said, "Why doesn't she speak, is she still a dumb person?"
"Huh. Yun Xin chuckled, then reached out to support the cumbersome bun, and sneered: "It's no different from a dumb person." β
Seeing Yunluo being ridiculed by everyone, which is cool in Yunxin's heart, it is simply not something that can be described in words.
"The third princess has arrived!" At this moment, there was a singing and cheering from outside the door.
When everyone heard this, they all stopped laughing and talking, and got up to greet each other.
Yunluo also stood up, but saw a shadow entering.
Dressed in a light blue skirt with fine cherry blossom petals embroidered on the corners of the skirt. A jet-black green silk is tied into a flying fairy bun, a few full and round pearls are randomly embellished in the hair, and a jasper exquisite hairpin is inserted obliquely, decorated with thin silver silk beaded tassels. The face is thinly powdered, the beautiful eyes are full of color, and there is a light smile between the red lips.
She is the emperor's third daughter, the third princess Nan Qianrou, who is over twenty years old but still unmarried.
"See the princess. The crowd bowed their heads respectfully.
"No excuses, you don't have to be formal. Nan Qianrou smiled brightly and her face was kind.
The temperament exuded by her body is extremely consistent with her name, delicate and gentle.
It's just that no one knows why such an excellent princess has never married.
