Chapter 39: The Palace Festival of Lights
In a blink of an eye, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and after dinner on this day, the carriages of each family were dispatched, and they went to the palace in an orderly manner, to see the best lantern festival in the world.
When she arrived at the palace, Wen Hui found that the biggest difference between this time and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was that on Chinese New Year's Eve, they were all made up according to the product, and this time the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival was like a fashion party, with various female relatives competing for beauty and luxury. Chen Wenhui was dazzled.
What made Wen Hui happy was that half of the female dependents present were wearing clothes from Cuijin Lou. Because Chen Wenhui has a strong brand awareness, Cuijinlou has already dropped the logo of Cuijinlou on his clothes from the beginning of its establishment, so Chen Wenhui can see at a glance that those are clothes from Cuijinlou. I am very happy in my heart, because these are the most expensive and profitable clothes. These clothes look new, and no one comes over wearing old clothes, which must bring huge profits to Cui Jinlou.
Wen Hui is also wearing clothes from Cuijin Lou today, a blue-orange brocade leather jacket with bamboo leaf pattern, with a circle of white mink fur on the side, and a very warm small cotton jacket with yarn inside, which is windproof and warm, and below is a cherry blossom red skirt. Although it is very pretty, it looks much more low-key among the gorgeous ladies who are full of courtyards.
Bai is also dressed very well and decently, but low-key. Dressed in a 10,000-character makeup sleeve robe, the low-key dark purple looks luxurious and subtle.
Standing next to their mother and daughter were sisters Wenhua and Wenjuan, dressed in luxurious attire. These two sisters have been very close to Wen Hui recently, and Wen Hui took out some special clothes from her collection, and asked the people of Cuijin Building to step up their efforts and give the two sets that dare to be made. Wen Hua is wearing a glowing orange full-sleeved robe with a pine-green skirt underneath, while Wen Juan is wearing a golden-red full-sleeved robe with a cyan skirt underneath. The color jumps and is lively, which is not counting, Wen Hui took out a new variety of yarn. It's called the Night Veil, and it looks ordinary, and once a light shines on it, it will flash a little light. Wen Hui used this yarn to make a shawl for each of them, and put it on the outside of their clothes. Under this light, the shawl shimmered with a little light, and the two of them carried several pieces of gemstone jewelry with Wen Hui on their heads, which were even more dazzling, and as soon as they entered the palace, they attracted the attention of many noble ladies.
Because of the beauty that shines like these two light bulbs, Wen Hui and Bai are even more low-key. Wen Hui followed closely behind the Bai family, and as soon as she entered the palace, she separated from Wenhua Wenjuan, making them the focus, while the Bai mother and daughter found familiar friends. The chat went.
Chen Wenhui stood next to a cluster of flowers and trees and sighed, the palace is luxurious, these trees will not bloom in winter, in order to give people appreciation, they deliberately use exquisite silk to make all kinds of vivid flowers on it. It looks like the flowers are blooming all over the yard, making people feel that they are not in the cold winter, as if they are in the moment of spring when a hundred flowers are blooming. Not to mention, the most attractive thing is those gorgeous lanterns, of course, not as good as the neon lights seen in the previous life, but the exquisite Cheng dΓΉ, even more. There are beautiful women etc. Flower lanterns, fruit lanterns, animal lanterns, mythological story lamps, and lamps that can rotate, these dazzling lights are not enough for Wen Hui's eyes.
Wen Hui was admiring. There was a sudden voice next to him, and a woman's voice asked, "Which girl is the girl of those two beauties shining?" β
Another voice said: "It's the concubine of the second room of the Chen family, and they are all in the boudoir, and there is no one to do it." Does my sister want to find a daughter-in-law for her son? β
The woman's voice said, "Oh, it's a concubine, what a pity." It's so good-looking, beautiful, I can't take my eyes off our family Xuan'er. If he can take care of himself and marry a girl with a good identity and cultivation, I won't be so tired. It's a pity, it's a concubine. β
The other voice said, "What's wrong with the maid?" It's not the same girl from the Chen family, didn't you listen to the emperor on Chinese New Year's Eve? The Chen family is the best at raising their daughters, and this daughter-in-law is to pay attention to marrying a daughter with her head up and marrying a daughter-in-law with her head bowed. The status of the daughter-in-law is not high, and it is easy to educate as a mother-in-law. β
After hearing this, the woman hesitated a little and said, "What my sister said is very reasonable, wait until I go back and discuss it with our master." β
Another voice said: "Hey, I am a son and I am still young, now is not the age to get married, if I can marry the daughter of the Chen family, I will be satisfied." Don't you see? This day has changed, and the Chen family has begun to take power. Who is the first person in the palace? Chen Guifei. Who is the most powerful prince in the limelight, is the fourth prince, who is his princess, and the eldest daughter of the Chen family. And the new second-grade minister who has been most appreciated by the emperor recently, who is the Ministry of Industry? It is the third master of the Chen family. Also, at this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the daughter of the third elder of the Chen family, the sixth girl of the Chen family, was personally promised by the emperor to be named the county lord. Don't you see it yet? In fact, many families in the capital have begun to act, and they all want to take the Chen family's big ship at this time. Why are you still sitting in the drums? Still dislike people being concubines? β
The woman was anxious when she heard this: "Oh, I am a woman's family, where do you understand this, you also know that our master, the least able to drill camp, where can you understand, this time I must be backward again, no, tomorrow I will find someone to go to the door to ask for relatives, I must think of a way to take the Chen family's boat." β
Chen Wenhui smiled when she heard it, and when she wanted to listen to it again, the two voices had already walked away, and Chen Wenhui took a closer look, as if they were the two ladies of the Hanlin Academy.
This reading family is nothing more than that, think about it, what is the purpose of studying hard? It's not for fame, power, or profit.
Chen Wenhui smiled when she thought of this. Today is still very successful, originally, she has appeared in front of everyone, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is in the limelight again, which is not a good thing, how to think of diverting everyone's attention.
Just when she was thinking about it, Wen Hua and Wen Juan just bumped into each other, which gave Chen Wenhui a good opportunity, taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Hui pretended to be intimate with her sister, and the poor sister was ignored by her mother-in-law, and voluntarily took out her good clothes and jewelry to dress up her sister, pretending to be a rich and wronged leader. But Aunt Sun was so happy, she was already worried, her daughter had reached the age of marriage, and the marriage had not been given by the second lady for a long time, and Aunt Sun was going to die of worry. At this moment, Wen Hui is small and has a lot of money, she pities her two sisters, and she presents her good things to the two sisters to dress up. To be honest, Wenjuan's appearance is still top-notch, plus the gorgeous costumes and decorations, and then the makeup, it is the appearance of a great beauty.
The second lady in the second room saw the two concubines dressed up so gorgeously before leaving, and was a little puzzled, and after asking, she knew that it was Wen Hui who dressed her, and the second lady snorted coldly, and set off with the two concubines. Anyway, her concubine is already married, since someone is willing to pay for and help dress up her concubine, why not do it, dress up well, just sell it for a good price in the future.
Aunt Sun and Wen Hua, Wen Juan was originally afraid that the second lady would stop them and not let them dress up so well, but when they saw that the second lady did not speak, they were overjoyed and hurriedly followed out. Of course, it can only be Wenhua, Wenjuan goes out, and Aunt Sun is not qualified to enter the palace enough, so she can only stay at home.
Princess Lichuan and Concubine Chen Guifei also noticed the strangeness in the crowd, everyone was looking at those two beautiful and shining beauties, where did they still have the heart to find Wen Hui. Even the emperor couldn't help but look at it several times, a little unscrupulous.
Chen Guifei and Princess Lichuan glanced at each other, and they both thought in their hearts, it seems that the original plan is useless, originally, the emperor may interfere in Chen Wenhui's marriage at the banquet, so the Chen family's third room must be very nervous, at this time, Chen Guifei came forward to mediate, find a reason, so that Chen Wenhui can marry independently, the Chen family's third room must be very grateful, in this way, the half-brother of the third room must be obedient to her in the future. However, although the plan was good, now something has changed. Everyone, including the emperor, the eyes of the prince were attracted by the two concubines in the second room of the Chen family, where did they still have the heart to find Wen Hui. Wen Hui is also very smart, far from the center of the crowd, dressed appropriately and low-key, just said hello in the circle of familiar ladies, and went to the flower tree on the edge to enjoy the lanterns. It's just too smart.
Chen Wenhui walked happily while admiring the dazzling array of lanterns, which was a beautiful scenery that could not be seen in the previous life. She was dressed in warm clothes, and she had a small hand stove in her hand, so it was not cold at all, and she had a good time walking around the garden.
As he was walking, a person suddenly flashed out of the flowers and trees in front of him, and took away all the light of the gorgeous lights at once, Wen Hui glanced at it greedily and sighed, what can have such an effect is Liu Yan, the fourth prince who was born to captivate the city and the country, what a waste of good skin, such a beautiful man, how can he be a prince, or the kind of prince who is hard-hearted and unkind?
Liu Yan couldn't help but smile in his eyes as soon as he saw Wen Hui, this slim figure had long been imprinted in his heart, indelible, but when he saw it today, it was still different from his impression, he grew up, the childishness on his face was less, and he began to grow towards the appearance of a fair lady. Liu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Sister Wen Hui, what are you sighing for?" It's been so long since I've been back in the capital, why haven't you come to my palace to play? β
Wen Hui bowed in a proper manner and said, "My mother was going to come to the Lantern Festival and take me to the house to say hello to my eldest sister." β
Liu Yan's eyes darkened, this smart girl, is this reminding him, is he her brother-in-law? Is he so unwelcome?
