"Miss, all the young ladies have entered the main hall one after another, will we enter the hall, miss?" Zijuan said respectfully, as if to report to Yunsheng. But it's more about explaining Yunshang's whereabouts to everyone.

Yunshang exhaled softly, put away the pounding heart, and tried to ask calmly, "What time is it?" ”

"Miss Hui, there are still two moments before the end of the day." Zijuan stepped forward with a smile and said in a low voice, "Miss's makeup? ”

Yunshang frowned slightly, just now in order to hide her figure, she and Xiaoyin hid in the rockery, thinking that her hair bun was a little messy, and her clothes were probably a little wrinkled.

The lights and shadows above the main hall are heavy, shining like daylight. It is very likely that he will sit in a seat, and such an abnormality will be seen by someone with a heart, and he may make some waves. It looks like it has to be sorted out, but fortunately there is still some time.

"Let's go to the side hall to rest for a while, I think it's still too late." Yun Sheng said softly, there was no panic in her eyes, but the thought of Xiao Yin's kiss always burned her cheeks.

Zijuan blinked in confusion when she saw that Yunshang was shy for a while, and she blinked in confusion with a moment of indignation, this is? Did His Royal Highness provoke Miss? Well, it's not very much like it, but Miss's expression, uh......

For a while, Zijuan didn't know how to react.

Carefully holding Yunshang, he kept a decent smile on his face, and walked all the way to the side hall.

Although the Celestial Empire is not very guarded against men and women, the male guests and female dependents are divided into two side halls in the east and west, and the east side hall provides a separate room for the female dependents to tidy up their makeup.

Yunshang's overall makeup is actually not too much of a problem, but the bun is slightly loose, the beads move slightly, and the cuffs are a little messy, which is still very obvious in the eyes of Zijuan, who has been serving Yunshang.

There were still two or three women in the side hall who had not left, and they saw Yunshang and bowed one after another. After greeting each other, Yunshang bypassed the screen to the dressing place, but she didn't want to see Xia Yuqi who was sorting out her makeup.

"The third sister made it easy for me to find it." Xia Yuqi said with a smile, and the double butterfly red golden hairpin on her bun trembled lightly with the wings of her body.

"Today's second sister is particularly dazzling, of course, which makes Shang'er envious." Yunshang chuckled and said, "The workmanship of this pair of double butterfly red golden hairpins is different from that of my dynasty, but it seems to be from the palace, isn't it sent by Princess Ning'an?" ”

"Exactly" Xia Yuqi smiled and helped the double butterfly hairpin on Fuyun's sideburns, and the smug look on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed on her face.

This pair of double hairpins is decorated with royal blue crystals to decorate the butterfly wings, which reflect a similar luster to a gemstone under the candle, but is more transparent, and may be more valuable if it is set with a gemstone. But it's a bit too heavy, and the crystal just satisfies the two advantages of sparkle and lightness.

It's just that the Celestial Empire does not produce crystals, and even the Liao Kingdom, which is rich in natural crystals. Of course, even if the price of crystal is a little lower, it is still only an object enjoyed by high-ranking officials and nobles.

Xia Yuqi has received a lot of envious glances along the way, and even Yunshang feels even more happy when she says this at this moment. The blue double butterfly hairpin and the ice blue flower necklace are even more shining against the backdrop of a sky blue water-patterned jacket and skirt. It also sets off the summer rain, whose skin is as white as snow. If you look at it alone, Xia Yuqi inherited Mrs. Xin's beauty, which can be regarded as beautiful, but in front of Chu Mengxi, Yunsheng, Lin Xuan, and even Xie Jiayao, they are just at a loss.

This is the first time she has appeared as the daughter of Xia Mansion after leaving the Zhenguo Mansion, and Xia Yuqi is afraid that she will be suppressed by others.

"The princess was very polite, but I was a little embarrassed. That's just the way your sisters are, aren't they? Third sister" Xia Yuqi's eyes raised slightly, and her hand gently stroked the crystal necklace on her chest.

Unconsciously the anger in the Zhenguo Mansion was dispersed, Mingli was saying that Princess Ning'an was generous, but in the ears of outsiders, he didn't consciously doubt that Yunshang was also a princess, whether he was dissatisfied with this cousin, and even a piece of jewelry could make Xia Yuqi feel that her sister was not as good as a princess of Liao who had just arrived in the Celestial Empire.

The two or three official ladies in the side hall had not left yet, and these words were deliberately said by Xia Yuqi, and the voice could just reach the ears of several people.

The corners of Yunsheng's mouth raised, Xia Yuqi, this palace doesn't plan to deal with you, but you are in a hurry to provoke this palace, don't blame this palace for not showing you mercy.

"Princess Ning'an is indeed generous, this crystal is used less in my court, and the exquisite workmanship is what Princess Ning'an loves. It is much more delicate than the sapphire cloisonné enamel Ruyi orchid head that was given to the second sister last time. No wonder the second sister likes it so much. Yunshang said with a smile, her eyes seemed to be full of sincerity.

As soon as these words came out, the ladies outside didn't laugh ashamedly, a crystal hairpin, I'm afraid it was still the so-called Princess Ning'an who wore the leftovers, and she was so intimate, saying that her sisters were just like that.

And Princess Yunshang clearly sent a more precious sapphire cloisonné enamel head, a set of sapphire heads, and a pair of crystal buns.

Xia Yuqi didn't want to slap Princess Ning'an and think crazy, so she actually belittled Princess Yunshang here and went to promote Princess Ning'an.

"Princess Ning'an has never seen this palace yet, seeing Bai Guifei is graceful and luxurious, the eldest emperor's brother is elegant and funny, and she is the palm treasure of the emperor and queen of Liao, I want to meet the phoenix among people, and this palace is very much looking forward to it." Yunshang said with a smile, not giving Xia Yuqi a chance at all.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Xia Yuqi's eyes, the news that His Highness was very satisfied with herself should have been spread, what did she mean by this? Do you want to insinuate that what you want is not shallow?

But I can't be too obvious, after all, this news is also intentionally promoted.

Xia Yuqi frowned slightly and said, "The head that the third sister gave me is too precious, but the third sister and Princess Ning'an both chose blue jewelry, and I think it is fate." ”

"Yes, the house has been busy for the past two days, and I haven't been able to visit the second sister, otherwise I will definitely be able to see Princess Ning'an. I heard that the second sister was quite popular with Princess Ning'an, congratulations. Yunshang said softly.

is quite pleased, no matter how you hear it, you think that Xia Yuqi intends to please Princess Ning'an, and this jewelry does not seem to be because of fate, but a kind of reward from the master to the subordinates. Xia Yunshang! What do you mean!

"It's not as good as the third sister, it is quite favored by the second and third highnesses, and the second highness's request for marriage has just passed, so I will get along with the third highness" Xia Yuqi gritted her teeth a little breathlessly and said.

"Bold! Which young lady are you, you are disrespectful to Princess Yunshang, Your Royal Highness has not asked for a decree, and now you are out on an envoy with a heavy load. It's so choreographed. Moreover, Princess Yunshang and the two Royal Highnesses are both royal brothers and sisters, how can you be suspicious! Even if Princess Yunshang marries into the royal family, she will return to the palace, not enter the palace, is it possible for Xiao Xiao to arrange it? A crimson woman reprimanded angrily.

Mama was full of anger, and it was transmitted directly to the outside of the side hall, which provoked the side hall, and the young masters, young ladies and ladies in the square all cast their inquiring eyes to the east side hall.

Yes, not many people know about the request of these two highnesses, not to mention that it did not succeed in the end. And Princess Yunshang and the two highnesses are brother and sister, and it is natural for them to be close. If Princess Yunshang marries a prince, it will also be in line with the wishes of the Queen Mother and the emperor. Everyone looked at each other and waited silently for the next words.

"I've seen Mama" Yunshang politely bowed, looking at this person's outfit I am afraid that it is a three-grade palace maid, this crimson shirt is made by the Clothing Bureau, the fabric is exquisite, there are more auspicious cloud lines, the hair bun is meticulous, and it is also worn with black jade beads, I am afraid that the status is noble, but I can't remember which palace it is for a while.

Mama saw that Yunshang didn't dare to accept the salute, so she turned sideways slightly, and said: "The old slave has seen Princess Yunshang, the banquet is about to start, and I ask the princess to prepare as soon as possible, and the mother is looking for the princess." ”

"Thank you, Mama" Yunshang smiled slightly and said no more.

Empress? Not the queen mother, not the queen, but the mother? Who the hell is this?

"As for this young lady, the rules and precepts in the palace allow you to talk nonsense! For the crime of slandering the royal family, he can be sent to Dali Temple for interrogation! Mama said fiercely.

The majesty of perennial immersion in the palace cannot be questioned. This sentence of Dali Temple's interrogation made Xia Yuqi panic for a while.

But seeing that Yunshang was already sitting in front of the dresser and Zijuan was tidying up her hair and clothes, she didn't even mean to help her, and she was even more angry.

stiffened his neck and said: "Miss Ben is the concubine of Xia Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, how can a palace maid like you practice at will!" ”

"Miss is Xia Shilang's daughter-in-law?" Mama asked with a frown.

"Exactly" Xia Yuqi raised her head, as if she was waiting for her grandmother to panic and flatter, but she didn't want to think that in the eyes of this grandmother, the so-called squire had no deterrent power at all.

"Miss Xia's tutor is really good, the old slave admires it, and when the hall is over, I want to let the mother ask for advice and ask the goddaughter of the Xia Mansion to do so." Mama snorted coldly and said, "Come on, go and ask the Queen Mother to teach Mama, the old slave doesn't understand this, I don't know how to deal with a non-grade white cloth who sees the old slave, a third-grade official, who does not kneel or worship, and even arranges and slanders the prince and princess in the palace compound!" ”

"You, you ......" His father is a good official of the second grade, but he is indeed a white cloth with no rank and no rank. And since the person opposite him is a palace maid of the third grade. It is even said that please teach the mother mother by her side. If these words are transmitted to the ears of the Queen Mother.

Xia Yuqi shuddered for a while. The Queen Mother's emotional expression at the time of Xia Yunsheng's birthday is still vivid, and now if the Queen Mother knows that she arranged Xia Yunsheng, her granddaughter who loves abnormally, it will be terrible.

"Mama, I'm just joking with the third sister, the third sister, right?" Xia Yuqi hurriedly pulled Yunshang's sleeve and said.

"Miss Xia, why embarrass Princess Yunshang, since Miss Xia feels that the old slave has wronged Miss Xia, please teach Mama to comment, don't wronged Miss Xia." Mama said coldly.

"No grievances, no grievances." Xia Yuqi hurriedly waved his hand. While pulling the cloud dress more vigorously.

"Miss Xia, the princess's clothes are easy to wrinkle, please be merciful to Miss Xia's subordinates." Zijuan unceremoniously broke Xia Yuqi's hand away.

"You! Third sister ......"

Xia Yunshang put down the horn comb in her hand and smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Mama, the second sister doesn't understand the rules of the palace when she enters the palace for the first time, and I hope Mama will forgive me." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, the time for the banquet has come, and the princess is invited to the table." Mama lowered her eyebrows and said kindly.

The rapid transformation of these two attitudes made Xia Yuqi a little stunned for a while, what does this mean, is it letting herself go?

Xia Yuqi was a little timid, watching Yunshang get up, for fear of being pulled by her grandmother and not letting her leave, she hurriedly stuck to Yunshang and walked out of the screen.

Yunsheng's eyes were cold, a hint of sarcasm was drawn on the corner of her mouth, and she turned around and nodded slightly at Mama. I saw that Mama's eyes were very calm, as if she knew that Yunshang would not be too embarrassed by Xia Yuqi, she was slightly blessed, and lowered her eyebrows to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth.

Yunshang walked out of the side hall and walked in the direction of the main hall, but she was even more puzzled in her heart, how did Xia Yuqi know that she was a lady in white? Just because Xia Yuqi only said his uncle's official position?

The turmoil just now was completely listened to by a few young ladies outside the side hall, not to mention, if you don't want to let one thing become a secret in the imperial city, then this matter will spread rapidly like an active spark and a firewood flooded in the gossip.

However, at the time of a banquet, Xia Yuqi belittled Princess Yunshang to curry favor with Princess Ning'an, arranged the royal family, and the immoral things spread all over the mansions present. And Xia Yuqi, who was frightened, didn't even have the spirit to flatter His Highness.
