Chapter 8 Preparation for the Feast

The Zhao Mansion was busy early in the morning, after all, it was the prince's birthday banquet, and no one dared to slack off, and the old lady who didn't usually dress up much also changed her dress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Dong Que called Xi'er, who was the best at combing her hair bun, to come over and comb Zhao Shuxuan with a more dignified and elegant Liuyun bun, and also inserted a white hosta, which was neither ostentatious nor vulgar. Zhao Shuxuan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the people in the bronze mirror, after the rouge powder was applied, she was less immature and more mature and charming. Zhao Shuxuan does not belong to the type of woman who has the appearance of a country and a city, but her appearance can be regarded as one of the best in the capital.

Dong Lai brought the pink azalea embroidered wide-sleeved gauze skirt selected by Zhao Shuxuan to change it for Zhao Shuxuan, and this pink color made her more and more generous and delicate.

"Miss is getting more and more beautiful now." Dong Kui said with a smile while sorting out the folds of her dress for Cho Shu Hyun.

Zhao Shuxuan said expressionlessly: "Your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter now." ā€

Tomallow stuck out her tongue. "The slave is telling the truth. Miss, your temperament has changed a lot in recent days, although you are not as lively and active as before, but the slave maid prefers you now. The slaves and maids now feel that no one dares to bully our young lady. ā€

Zhao Shuxuan's eyes froze and asked, "Then what was I like before?" Am I going to be bullied a lot before? ā€

"In the past, the young lady used to always make the old lady angry, and she stayed in the house for a few days a day. Nowadays, you will always be alone and quietly reading a book. Slave maid has never seen you read a book before! And there were always people pointing fingers at you behind your back, and the slave was really angry. Tomhock made a puffy look.

Zhao Shuxuan's heart was a little touched, yes, she had never read any books before, since she entered the palace, she was afraid that Qi Muyao would dislike herself for not knowing anything, so she would always go to the library to look through some books, and that time was the time when she read the most books in her life. After a long time, I naturally developed the habit of reading. She has made too many changes for him, always changing this and that for him, but forgetting to live well for herself.

"Hyun-a."

"Hyun-a."

Hearing someone call his name, Zhao Shuxuan came back to his senses,

In recent days, Zhao Yucheng has been busy dealing with political affairs, and many of the situation in the frontier has to be written and reported to the imperial court. Today, I finally had time to visit my sister.

"Hyun-a-ah looks so good today." Zhao Yucheng nodded as if agreeing with his point of view.

Dong Que also said excitedly: "The slave thinks so too. ā€

Zhao Shuxuan tilted his head and glanced at Dong Kui, who immediately covered his mouth.

"What's the recent discomfort? I was pretty much done with everything and hurried back. Zhao Yucheng looked at Zhao Shuxuan with concern and asked.

Zhao Shuxuan shook her head. "Brother, will you stay in the mansion after you finish handling things?"

"Hmm. I shouldn't be leaving this year, and my father and mother will return to Beijing after a while. Speaking of this, Zhao Yucheng frowned slightly.

Could it be that at this time, the southern kingdom began to prepare for the battle against the Huns? Zhao Shuxuan didn't ask much.

When Zhao Yucheng was in the frontier, he always heard all kinds of news about his sister Zhao Shuxuan, but almost all the news was about how bad his sister was, how not like a lady, and how unlearned. But when he returned to Beijing this time, he only felt that Zhao Shuxuan had a maturity and wisdom that her peers did not have, and she was very cautious and careful in her words and deeds. And when they returned to Beijing this time, it seems that their relationship has become a lot closer. It seems that the news is all bluffing.

Zhao Shuxuan reached out and hooked Zhao Yucheng's arm, and said happily, "Let's go." ā€

Zhao Yucheng squinted and smiled, his eyes full of doting on Zhao Shuxuan.

Zhao Shuxuan noticed Zhao Yucheng's thick calloused hands, glanced at Zhao Yucheng with some distress, and quickly hid the emotions in his eyes.

At the entrance of Zhao's mansion, several eight-lift sedan chairs covered by red satin curtains were parked, and the old lady entered the sedan chair with the support of the maid, and Zhao Shuxuan and Zhao Yucheng also entered the sedan chair and sat down.

The mighty procession walked on the road to the palace, and Zhao Shuxuan supported her head with one hand, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was resting, but she was actually thinking about her plan for tonight. She had ordered Wuyou to be on standby in the Herong Hall at any time, and she didn't know if he had sneaked into the palace.

This time the prince's birthday banquet was very important to the emperor, the queen personally handled it, the emperor also came in person, and the important ministers of the court came to the palace with their wives and daughters.

"Get off the sedan car!"

The sedan chair that Zhao Shuxuan was riding fell to the ground, and Dong Lyhock half-opened the red cloth curtain, poked his head into Zhao Shuxuan and said, "Miss, it's time to arrive." There was excitement in her words.

Zhao Shuxuan also pretended to be excited and got off the sedan chair.

At a glance, it was full of courtiers and their families, and the women repeatedly told their daughters what to pay attention to and what to do as they walked. The corners of Zhao Shuxuan's mouth raised an unnoticed smile.

She stepped into this secluded palace again, she sent herself into the tiger's mouth again, she was like a phoenix in the fire, a newborn phoenix, she was nirvana in the fire, but she was born out of the ashes, but she could never return to her original appearance, and she would no longer be the puppet at the mercy of others.

Qi Muyao, you are okay.
