Chapter 14: Clothes
The new emperor ascended the throne and set up the eldest sister Empress as the queen, the Zhou Mansion was unlimited, and the dignitaries and nobles in the capital came to give gifts to the new abbot, and after the father and mother refused to do so many times, they could only go around every day, physically and mentally exhausted, and had no intention of managing the affairs of the house.
As for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, I am afraid that it is even more forgotten, when the new emperor first ascended the throne, the palace sent someone to pass on the will early, and the family banquet after the seal was scheduled for the full moon of August 15, and the Zhou Mansion, as the queen's mother, should naturally prepare early. But now...... I looked at my father and mother in the front hall with a busy appearance, sighed lightly, called sandalwood and walked out of the house.
Now there are three days left before the family banquet after the closure, and the Zhou Mansion, as the mother family, will definitely attract much attention, not that the Zhou Mansion can't afford to send valuables, but what the Zhou Mansion can have, how can there be no in the palace? So it must not be an ordinary thing. And the purpose of my trip this time is to prepare a family banquet for the Zhou Mansion.
"Sandalwood, you claim to be a jack of all trades, so do you know what is not in the palace in this capital?" I pretended not to care and mentioned it to Sandalwood.
"When Miss asked, I naturally knew, Miss had heard of the Wang family outside the city."
It's worthy of the person who has been following me all along, and sure enough, he guessed my mind at once. Sandalwood and I smiled at each other, and then walked out of the city.
In a blink of an eye, the time for the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet arrived, and because it was a formal occasion, I was picked up from bed by my mother's grandmother early in the morning. Originally, I wanted to play tricks, but after seeing the person in front of the bed clearly, I was stunned and instantly fell asleep.
"Mama Zhang, why are you here!" I hurriedly got up.
Mama Zhang is a maid brought by her mother from her mother's house, and she has studied women's makeup and hair.
My mother often praised Mama Zhang's makeup and hair in front of me, saying that when they were young, many big ladies in the capital would ask Mama to come to her door to make up when they got married, but as far as I know, Mama stopped grooming people after she got married, and the last time she made a move was on my sister's wedding day.
Now my mother has invited her to dress up for me, why is it?
"I haven't seen Miss Second for a long time, now that she's grown so big, you get up first, and when you can make up, I will slowly tell you what your mother thinks." After Mama Zhang finished speaking, she retreated to the outside room and waited.
I called Sandalwood to come in and wait, and after washing up, I went outside. In the outer room, Mama Zhang told me that my mother called her over because I was too similar to my sister, and now I am the most delicate age in my daughter's family. And Mama Zhang came over, just to cover up my appearance and comb my hair with ordinary women's makeup.
I didn't think much of it before.
"Second Miss, makeup and hair are already fine. I went out and called Sandalwood to come in and wait for you to change your clothes. ”
"Okay, thank you, Mama." I got up and thanked Mama. Just look at your makeup in the mirror, it is worthy of being specially arranged by my mother, and now I am in this mirror, how can I still have half a minute Miss Tuesday, but it is not ugly to look closely, I think it is grandma who has a heart.
"Second Miss, Madame's side is already waiting in the front hall, you have to hurry up." As soon as I got dressed, I heard my aunt next to my mother coming over and calling someone.
"Got it, I'll be right over."
I looked in the mirror, and although the face in the mirror was not as good as before, the emerald green clothes made my complexion more and more white, and for a while it had a different charm.
I originally wanted to change it, but this dress was given by the Queen Mother for the banquet, and my mother said that I couldn't wear it.
When everything was ready, we rode in the carriage to the palace. This is the first time I have entered the palace, so my mother has been talking to me about the rules of the palace, I didn't answer, just looked down at the clothes, and a trace of uneasiness faintly flashed in my heart, the color and pattern of this dress are Li Yu's favorite, it is impossible for the Queen Mother not to know, is it a coincidence or another arrangement that she gave me this dress?
I pulled the window and looked at the palace wall, listening to the sound of the wheels running over the road, I didn't think I would have a chance to come back here, but I would never be trapped here again in this life.
