Chapter 9: Amazing debut
Before Shen Yi's arrival, he sent a family member over to tell Shen Zhiyou about entering the palace, and he himself took Shen Qianxi and Shen Qiaolian's two daughters to set off first, leaving Shen Zhiyou behind.
Obviously, he didn't want to enter the palace with Shen Zhiyou at all, and he felt ashamed.
Shen Zhiyou sighed and reluctantly took out the set of clothes that Mo Zixuan gave her.
If she can, she doesn't want to enter the palace either, okay?
The outfit was as white as yarn, light and flowing, and was also connected with a headscarf and a veil. After Shen Zhiyou put on her clothes, she put on a headscarf and veil, and took a look in front of the mirror, as if she had seen her past life in a trance.
I have to say that Mo Zixuan's vision for picking clothes is still very good. On the one hand, the veil just covered the blue spots on Shen Zhiyou's face, and the only thing that was revealed in the snow-white gauze scarf was Shen Zhiyou's bright and calm autumn eyes, coupled with the slightly raised corners of the eyes, which made people feel both cold and indescribable.
These eyes are exactly the same as the ones in her previous life.
Shen Zhiyou pressed the mirror down hard, picked it up for a while, and walked towards the door.
Along the way, Shen Zhiyou met countless maids and family members, and they all stopped one after another, watching Shen Zhiyou walk past them in amazement.
She...... She's the eldest lady?!
If it weren't for the fact that there were no guests from the Shen family today, they would all think that this was a guest from somewhere, and it was like a different person.
Resemble...... That's right, it's like the fairy who has fallen into mortal dust and doesn't eat the fireworks of the world!
Shen Zhiyou didn't bother to pay attention to those strange eyes, she hired a simple carriage with some broken silver, and walked to the palace with kicks and feet.
In the palace, before the banquet began, the ladies gathered in twos and threes to chat, chatting as if they had set up several stages.
"Qiaolian, didn't you say that your stupid sister will come over today, why do you only see you and Qianxi now?"
"Don't mention it, I don't understand why her name is included in the holy decree, and she is just a shame on our Shen family when she comes. Shen Qiaolian was still resentful of Shen Zhiyou's revelation of her stealing, and when she mentioned Shen Zhiyou, her tone was full of disgust and malice.
"Come on, this is what the emperor meant, and we shouldn't speculate too much. Having said that, I'm really curious about how ugly your sister is, I've heard before that when she appears, she can stop children from crying, how cruel it must be. ”
"You know when you see it, I haven't seen anything uglier than her. Dad didn't want to bring her today, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to tell her and let her come by herself. If she still had a little self-awareness, she shouldn't have appeared tonight, and she was angry when she saw her face, and the blue-black birthmark the size of a palm covered half of her face, and she was ugly. Shen Qiaolian's mouth seemed to be quenched with poison, and every word was engraved on the three words "Shen Zhiyou" with venom.
The ladies standing beside her listened, and they became more curious about Shen Zhiyou's ugliness, and their mouths made an extremely disgusted "tsk" sound.
Since the day Shen Zhiyou was born, she has hardly left the gate of the Shen Mansion, and everyone has heard that she is a fool and ugly, and she has never seen a real person.
Now that they have the opportunity to meet the legendary "fools" and "ugly girls", they have a faint sense of excitement in their hearts.
As the saying goes, "things gather by like, people by groups", Shen Qiaolian is naturally jealous, greedy and loves to compare, and those fox friends and dog friends standing beside her are naturally similar to the same - better than them, they can't stop the jealousy in their hearts, and those who are worse than them, they can't wait to step into the mud fiercely, in order to show their superiority.
Shen Qianxi did not join these people's discussions, she has always regarded herself very highly, and has always disdained to be in the company of Shen Qiaolian's group, feeling that she has lowered her status as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although she also wanted to see Shen Zhiyou's ugly appearance, she was obviously much more restrained, only holding a cup of tea and chewing slowly, compared with other chattering women, it was a little more obvious.
Many people paid attention to her, and they couldn't help but whisper.
"Did you see the woman in pink sitting over there? She is the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a genius of the wood and fire lines, I heard that she is still the best candidate for the future crown princess of His Majesty's choice, and she is really different. ”
"I heard that her teacher is Ouyang Xun from Xuanwu Academy, right?"
"Ouyang Xun?!Is it really fake?, that's the No. 1 alchemist in the Xuanwu Continent. ”
"Why are you lying to you? So I said that if she really became the crown princess, it would be a matter of course. Looking at the whole country, women who are more beautiful than her and more powerful than her, and whose status is higher than her, really can't find a single one with their fingers. ”
"No wonder, no wonder ......"
Although Shen Qianxi has always looked elegant and dusty, in fact, she has been secretly listening to what others say about her.
Hearing these compliments on her, she smiled triumphantly and hid the smugness on her lips with her teacup.
Sure enough, it was just an accident to eat deflated at Shen Zhiyou's place last night, a genius like her shouldn't be overly concerned with a waste like Shen Zhiyou, and she lowered her identity in vain.
Shen Qianxi's eyes still looked at the seats of the princes very vaguely, and found that the eyes of several princes fell on her, and there was no lack of praise and appreciation in them, and her mood was even more happy, as if the position of the crown princess was already in her pocket.
Now the emperor is not too old, so the real prince has not been elected, and the position of the prince is still vacant.
But Shen Qianxi believes that no matter who becomes the crown prince, the last crown princess will only be her, not someone else.
As soon as he thought of his mother's world, admired by thousands of people, Shen Qianxi's heart beat violently, and he hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide the gaffe on his expression.
Just when everyone was thinking about it, the eunuch standing at the door of the banquet hall suddenly sang:
"Miss Shen Zhiyu of the Prime Minister's Mansion is here-"
Shen Zhiyou?!The stupid and ugly eldest lady of the right prime minister's family?!Why did she come over today......
Among the people who were invited, there were still many people who didn't know that Shen Zhiyou would also come, and when they heard that Shen Zhiyou was also here, they almost thought that there was something wrong with their ears.
Could it be that the eunuch guarding the door mispronounced, how could His Majesty's banquet call a fool over? Aren't you afraid that she will make jokes at the banquet?
With this in mind, everyone stopped talking and looked at the door in unison.
I saw a woman dressed in white walking in slowly, and her dusty temperament was like an ice lotus quietly blooming by the pool, which made people forget to see it.
Hiss –
This...... This is the stupid eldest lady of the Xiangfu family?!Don't be mistaken.
The entire banquet hall was suddenly silent.
Shen Zhiyou stopped, her eyebrows and eyes looked around, and landed on Shen Qiaolian and Shen Qianxi.
Shen Qiaolian stared at her with a distorted expression, the words "unbelievable" written all over her face, while Shen Qianxi was holding the teacup tightly, not even noticing a few more cracks on the teacup.
Shen Zhiyou raised her eyebrows, she suddenly found that she could "appreciate" the expressions of these two younger sisters now, and it was worth it to appear in this white dress in such a high-profile manner today.
She reluctantly sent a good person card to the "uninvited guest".
