Entering the palace to participate in the palace banquet is a major event, and you must dress up to attend, but you must pay attention to proportion, and you can't steal the limelight from the concubines and Shangguan's wife, so how to make yourself outstanding will not attract the jealousy of others, this is a skill.

Cui's family was born in everyone, and he had the experience of going to the palace for banquets many times, so he was quite researched in this regard, so he asked Liu Jiaojiao not to go to Qingxinfang the next day, and happily dragged her to the street to buy a business.

Liu Jiaojiao was originally ready to be used as a doll in various poses and try on clothes today, but who expected that Cui Shi had already done everything, she only needed to try it on to see if it fit, and let the tailor make some small details of the modification.

Seeing her puzzled eyes, Cui Shi explained with a smile: "Since you came back, hasn't someone measured you every month?" Even if you don't go to the palace for a banquet, you still have to make some new clothes during the season, and it's always a bit troublesome to do it temporarily. ”

"So, this garment has been made a long time ago?" Liu Jiaojiao didn't mean anything else when she asked this, and she didn't feel that Cui's was deliberately mistreating her, because the clothes she tried on were really well made, and the materials looked extremely high-end, and it was enough to wear them into the palace.

"Some time ago, my mother's family sent some Yunjin, such a good material is of course more suitable for your flowery age, so I asked people to take your size and asked the master in the store to personally make this dress for you, I originally wanted to wait for your birthday to give it to you, but I met the palace banquet, so I gave it to you in advance."

Liu Jiaojiao's birthday was at the end of October, so there weren't many days left, but she didn't expect Cui Shi to prepare such an expensive birthday gift for her in advance.

This is Yunjin, a valuable cloth with no price, it is said that the amount produced every year is very limited, even in the palace, no wonder the cloth looks so beautiful, and it feels so comfortable to the touch.

"Auntie, you are so good to me." Liu Jiaojiao was moved to hold Cui's arm, gently leaned her head on her shoulder, and her nose was inexplicably a little sore.

Being so closely relied on by her niece, Cui's heart was happy, she said that it was okay to raise a girl, she would be coquettish and clingy, like those stinky boys in the family, when she was seven or eight years old, she was no longer allowed to touch their heads, and she had to say that men's heads could not be touched.

The half-grown kid dares to call himself a man, it's really not cute at all, it's better to be a girl.

"You are the only girl in the family, and you are the youngest, who is good for you if you are not good? The jewelry that matches this set of clothes has already been made for you, and you will try it after a while, and if you are not satisfied, you will immediately tell the shopkeeper that you can change it immediately. Cui smiled gently, like a loving mother, and gently rubbed her hair.

"No need to change it, the eldest aunt's vision must be excellent, I must like it." Liu Jiaojiao's words are really not intended to compliment, background and vision determine a person's vision, if Cui's is in modern times, she is definitely the kind of wealthy lady with great taste, and what can enter her eyes will definitely not be bad.

Cui Shi sounded very comfortable, after all, it was a very pleasant thing for her efforts to be recognized, but she still said patiently: "Where will your little girl's vision be the same as mine, I am old, you may not like what I like, or try it first." ”

"Auntie, are you kidding again? You look like my sister, where are you old? ”

"Hahaha, all nonsense, if I become your sister, wouldn't it be a mess of time?"

"Really, really, you look like you're twenty years old at most."

"You, you know how to make me happy by saying something nice."

As mentioned earlier, the biggest behind-the-scenes owner of the jewelry store in the capital is the Xie family, I think Liu Jiaojiao still met Su Fengjiao here by accident, but I didn't expect that it would only be a long time, and it was already a matter of fact, and when she came here again, Liu Jiaojiao inevitably had some sighs in her heart.

The shopkeeper had already prepared the jewelry, and when he saw Cui Shi and Liu Jiaojiao coming, he hurriedly led her to the private room inside, and after serving tea, he personally came over with several large boxes of jewelry and asked them to choose carefully.

Cui's vision is indeed excellent, and also takes into account the psychology of the little girl who likes gaudy things, the head and jewelry are all dominated by colorful tourmaline, with the light pink clothes mixed with silver filigree and dark lines, not only will not steal the limelight of the clothes, but will add a lot of points.

Liu Jiaojiao liked it very much when she saw it, and she had the urge to put it all on immediately.

It was rare for Cui Shi to see her show the same joy as a child seeing his favorite toy, a gentle smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and deliberately teased: "Jiaojiao, I look at your eyes and are about to stick to them, I really like it so much?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao also felt that she was acting a little naïve, but women, who doesn't like Bling Bring's jewelry? So she looked away with some difficulty, which was almost embedded in the jewelry box, turned back to Cui Shi with an extremely bright smile, and nodded: "Well, I like it, thank you, auntie!" ”

Seeing that she was so happy and answered so seriously, Cui's couldn't continue to ridicule, so he raised his hand to close the box and said with a smile: "If you like it, tomorrow you will put on new clothes and wear this set of jewelry into the palace. ”

The corners of Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, I really can't overwhelm the crowd like this now." ”

Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Actually, you are very good now, it is not necessarily a good thing that a woman is too beautiful, you are already very good, if you are as beautiful as a fairy, Jiaojiao, I am afraid that that person will think about you." As she spoke, she vaguely stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky.

Knowing that she was talking about the current emperor Gu Tingjun, Liu Jiaojiao shook her head with a smile and said: "That one doesn't look like a person who will be fascinated by beauty, but aunt, you are right, I am afraid that showing my true face will cause trouble, after all, there are still many people in this world who pay attention to appearance." ”

"Sometimes I'm glad you didn't grow up in the capital, otherwise your face might really cause trouble for you, wasn't your mother back then? If it weren't for her appearance, she wouldn't have provoked King Wujun and made you break an unwarranted marriage contract for no reason. ”

Liu Jiaojiao wanted to defend Xie Linlang a few words, and wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with her, and she could only blame King Wujun for seeing the color, but thinking of the current era, people are already very critical of women, especially women who are too outstanding, the Xie family and the Cui family are already relatively enlightened, and if they are those who are brainwashed by feudal society, they may complain that Xie Linlang is a red face and a disaster.

She was suddenly a little dazed, although she had changed her appearance with the disguise technique provided by the system, she couldn't always wear a mask to show people, right? There's always a day out in the open. Trina

At that time, will it cause a lot of trouble?

She has a system in hand, but she is not afraid of trouble, but if there is too much trouble, it will be very annoying, and the most afraid is that it will affect her family and friends around her, she has the confidence and ability to protect herself, but as she stays in this era, there are more and more people who are tied to her, can she protect them all?

Sure enough, you still need status and power, and only when you stand tall enough can you not be afraid of any wind and rain.

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here.

The time for the palace banquet is set in the evening, so you can go out an hour early, and you don't need to be in a hurry.

Xu Tianci came directly to Xie Mansion to pick up people, and no one in the Xie family was willing to give him a good face, so he just pulled Liu Jiaojiao and kept admonishing him, plus deliberately pointing at Sang and scolding Xu Tianci for stabbing Huai.

Xu Tianci was unexpectedly good-tempered this time, not only did his face not change, he kept smiling, and he didn't refute a word, just like the person they said had nothing to do with him.

After talking for a long time, the other party acted as if he hadn't heard it, and the Xie family couldn't continue to talk, and after a few more words, they reluctantly sent Liu Jiaojiao to the carriage of Xu's mansion.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Liu Jiaojiao was stunned.

There was already a beautiful woman sitting in the carriage, who looked six or seven percent similar to herself, and her eyes were full of tears when she looked at her, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

This man...... Could this person be Xie Linlang, the biological mother of this body?

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao......" The woman burst into tears before she spoke, biting her lower lip with her teeth, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to control her crying.

"Mother?" I don't know if it's the instinct of this body, Liu Jiaojiao's eyes turned red inexplicably, and she involuntarily called her mother, and then she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

Xu Tianci quickly got into the carriage, with a kind smile on his face, and said to Liu Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, originally your mother didn't attend any banquet because of physical reasons, but it was just because you haven't returned home, and your mother misses you too much, so she came here on purpose." ”

Liu Jiaojiao was completely controlled by the consciousness that came with this body, and she only cared about tears and sadness, but she didn't notice the ridicule that flashed in Xie Linlang's eyes after hearing Xu Tianci's words.

"Jiaojiao, mother's good daughter, mother is sorry for you!" Xie Linlang stretched out her hands and hugged Liu Jiaojiao tightly in her arms, and hid the darkness in her eyes by the moment when she lowered her head and cried.

"Mother!" Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help crying, and her heart suddenly rose with infinite grievances, so she could only hug her tightly.

Seeing the mother and daughter who had been reunited for a long time hugging and crying, Xu Tianci didn't say a word, just looked at them quietly, his expression was full of relief, but his eyes were cold.

The mother and daughter who have been separated for many years are finally reunited, and it stands to reason that there should be endless words, but Xie Linlang was afraid of Xu Tianci's presence, so naturally she couldn't show her heart to her daughter, and Liu Jiaojiao finally got rid of the influence brought by the original owner, and she also understood that this was not a good place to talk when she regained her composure.

So, a very miraculous thing happened, the carriage was extremely quiet, until it stopped at the gate of the palace.

After the family of three got out of the car, Xu Tianci handed over the sign and led the way in front, while Liu Jiaojiao helped Xie Linlang to follow silently behind, and the red sleeves, agarwood and listening to the lotus, who were in charge of serving, all walked at the end with their heads down.

Xie Linlang deliberately slowed down his pace, a few steps behind Xu Tianci, and after making sure that he couldn't hear himself, he approached Liu Jiaojiao, lowered his voice and said in her ear: "It's not good to talk in front of his mother, stay for a while and go to the place where the ladies gather, and my mother will talk to you well." ”

Liu Jiaojiao nodded clearly.

After the imperial garden, the three of them must be separated, Xu Tianci has to go to meet the emperor, and Xie Linlang must lead Liu Jiaojiao to meet the queen, and then wait for the evening banquet.

Before leaving, Xu Tianci said to Xie Linlang with a smile: "Madam, Jiaojiao is not familiar with the ladies in the palace and other mansions, you must remember to take her well, and I will pick you up after the banquet." ”

"Hmm." Xie Linlang replied extremely perfunctory, but holding Liu Jiaojiao's hand subconsciously tightened.

When Xu Tianci left with the little girl, Xie Linlang closed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look at Liu Jiaojiao, and promised with a touch of resolute warmth: "Jiaojiao, don't worry, my mother will definitely protect you." ”

Liu Jiaojiao replied with a good-looking smile and nodded: "I believe in mother, I will also protect you well." ”

Yes, she will definitely protect Xie Linlang with her heart, even if it is for the original owner who occupied her body, even if it is for the mother's love she felt for the first time from the other party.

This mother, she is protected!
