Chapter XVIII. Choice
When there was still more than an hour before the palace banquet, under the urging of Tao Yao, Su Wanqing finally got up slowly and leisurely, and went to bathe and change clothes with hard work.
In the rising smoke, Su Wanqing lay lazily in the huge bathtub, enjoying the comfort of bathing. Tao Yao put some freshly stepped rose petals for her, and sprinkled them all over the bathtub. Su Wanqing said that Tao Yao's move won her heart.
In the past, when Su Wanqing was at home without a task, she liked to do two things the most, one was to sleep, and the other was to take a bath. For Su Wanqing, in addition to relaxing her body and mind, taking a bath can also empty everything, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, don't need to think about anything, and get a short period of peace.
After Su Wanqing finished soaking, Tao Yao held two sets of clothes, looked at Su Wanqing and said, "Miss, do you want to wear this set of gifts from the second lady, or is it from an unknown source?" ”
Su Wanqing: "......" is indeed of unknown origin.
Tao Yao said after a while: "Eldest Miss, didn't you say that the set of clothes given by the second miss was drugged?" That ......"
Su Wanqing smiled and said, "I'll wear this set, another set, bring it." ”
Although Tao Yao was a little unsure, she nodded obediently and handed over the set of clothes that Su Wanqing was referring to.
On the other side, in the courtyard of the West Wing, where Su Wanyue was, Su Wanyue stood in front of a few maids holding a few skirts, frowning slightly and looking carefully.
Ruan Shi walked in and saw that Su Wanyue was still entangled, and said softly: "Yue'er, haven't you chosen yet?" It's time to leave in a moment, but don't let your big sister wait, or she will be unhappy again. ”
Speaking of Su Wanqing, Su Wanyue pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Yue'er knows, mother, on such a good day, don't mention her." ”
Ruan Shi covered his lips and chuckled, and responded: "Okay, okay, my mother won't mention it." Why, didn't you decide to wear that pink palace dress before? Why are you hesitating again? ”
Su Wanyue stared at the skirt that Ruan Shi was referring to, which was a long pink dress printed with flowers of the valley, worn on Su Wanyue's body, which just showed the delicate and sweet of her age. But Su Wanyue still felt dissatisfied, and always felt that there was not enough of it.
She bit her lip slightly, and said for a while: "Mother, this skirt is already the style of Liuli Pavilion last year, if you wear it, Yue'er may not be teased by those young ladies of the family, and besides, they already look down on my identity as a concubine." ”
Ruan Shi was stunned, but still patiently coaxed: "You are too careful, when you meet with Miss Housekeeper on weekdays, which time are you better than them?" It's too late for them to be jealous of you, how can they look down on you. ”
Su Wanqing's eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled, and she looked at the smoky and red skirt of the fairy, which was embroidered with large peonies, looking graceful and extraordinary.
Ruan Shi followed her gaze, was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Yue'er, although this skirt is new this year, you can't help but be too mature to wear it......
"That's it!" Su Wanyue said with a final word: "Mother, Yue'er wants to tell the world that Yue'er is not far from Jilu." Besides, the big sister wears that dress, which is much more gorgeous than Yue'er's, and even if others want to say it, they are saying that the big sister will not pay attention to Yue'er. ”
Looking at Su Wanyue's firm eyes, Ruan Shi sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, since Yue'er likes it, let's wear this set, my mother is not the main room after all, and I can't accompany you into the palace, you have the opportunity to enter the palace this time, you have to be careful in everything in the palace, and you can't easily offend others." ”
Su Wanyue's mind had already flown into the palace, and she was only thinking at the moment that if she wore this dress, the second prince would definitely be fascinated by her, and where did she notice what Ruan said.
After Su Wanyue cleaned up and put on the jewelry that Ruan Shi picked for her, the eyes of Ruan Shi and the maids present lit up. On weekdays, Su Wanyue wears pink clothes, looking innocent. Now he has changed into a slightly cumbersome and gorgeous palace dress, although his face is still immature, but it has a unique flavor.
Ruan Shi thought about it, picked up the paintbrush again, and slightly sketched a few strokes on the corners of Su Wanyue's eyes, making her silhouette more solemn, looking more mature, and more compatible with this palace costume.
Su Wanyue looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and the maid outside had already come to report: "Second Miss, the prime minister said that he was going to go." ”
Su Wanyue hurriedly responded: "This is coming." ”
She hurried to the door, her skirt was too long, and she almost tripped over, but Ruan's eyes quickly helped her.
Su Wanyue walked to the door, and the maid was already waiting in front of a sedan chair. She looked left and right, but she didn't see Su Wanqing's figure, and couldn't help asking, "What about the eldest sister?" ”
The maid replied respectfully: "The eldest lady said that she is not ready yet, and she will arrive later, so please ask the prime minister and the second lady to set off first." ”
At this time, Su Jianlian poked his head out of another sedan chair and smiled helplessly: "Your sister, it's just rubbing." Yue'er get on the sedan chair and go with your father first, it's not good if it's late. ”
Su Jianlian spoke, although Su Wanyue wanted to see Su Wanqing's "respect" at the moment, she also had to get into the sedan chair.
Thinking of Su Wanqing's appearance tonight, Su Wanyue showed a grim smile on her lips.
