Chapter 226 The Purpose of Women’s Struggle
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Qi Yuyi is putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
Today their whole family will attend a banquet in the palace.
The banquet was of a grand scale, and people outside said that the emperor was holding a welcome party for the heroes of Yuncheng. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that it was just an excuse to welcome the fourth prince.
If it was just a reception for Yuncheng's heroes, there would be no need for such a grand ceremony.
All the important people in the former court and the harem have been notified. What’s the difference between this and announcing it to the whole world?
Even the generals guarding the border did not receive such treatment when they returned to the court.
The fourth prince, who was rumored to have died young.
The most beautiful Concubine Chen in the capital was his biological mother. For her, the Emperor abandoned three thousand beauties in the harem and favored only her.
If the Fourth Prince had stayed in the capital all the time, one can imagine the attention he would have received.
Many people speculated that the rumors over the years might have been spread just to provide the Fourth Prince with a good environment for studying abroad.
Now that I have finally returned from my studies, it is time to make achievements and establish my own career.
And such a godlike person, even if he just showed up briefly in the capital, is still on the minds of the noble ladies in the capital.
Therefore, tonight's banquet will definitely be full of splendor.
She was the first noble lady in the capital, a princess, and the only daughter of the royal family. How could she be compared to anyone?
She loves delicious food, beautiful clothes, and everything that is exquisite and beautiful.
She is in a high position and can enjoy these things with dignity, so why should she put herself in a difficult position?
Qi Yuyi ordered the maid who was dressing her, "Take out the red gold flower silk and white pearl butterfly headpiece from my makeup box. Wear that one today."
The maid put down the hairpin she was gesturing with and said, "Yes, Princess, I will get it right away."
"Wait, there's also the white jade headpiece with gemstones and butterflies playing with flowers that I customized at Lingyuxuan..." Qi Yuyi gritted her teeth and continued, "Wrap it up well, I want to give it to someone!"
The maidservant was stunned. The princess had waited in line for a long time and asked the master chef from Lingyuxuan to make it specially for her. She herself was not willing to take it with her, so who was she going to give it to?
"Princess, how about... changing into another set? That's..."
"Go if you're told to, hurry up."
"Yes."
Qi Yuyi looked at her puffy cheeks in the mirror and sighed helplessly. Alas...
What can I do if I need help from others?
Even though the focus of other people's attention may be on the Fourth Prince, the person she really wants to befriend tonight is the genius doctor Fuyao County Princess who has created miracles in Yuncheng and has extraordinary medical skills.
My father has been loyal to his country and fought on the battlefield for most of his life, but now he is suffering from illness every day...
As a daughter, how could she turn a blind eye?
It's just a set of headgear, isn't it just another two months of waiting in line? !
"Someone! Go to Lingyuxuan and bring back a copy of their latest pattern book. I want to see it when I get back! Go quickly!"
Prince Rong and Princess Rong walked to the door and looked at each other helplessly. Never mind, she is their daughter after all. She has been spoiled for so many years. Let her be.
……
Blue Moon Pavilion.
After Li Jiaojiao entered the room, she was really taken to change clothes first.
Inside the huge dressing room, there was a row of gorgeous clothes of various colors, and even the matching jewelry in the boxes next to them were ready.
The maidservant who was helping Li Jiaojiao change her clothes stood aside respectfully, "Princess, these are all prepared by the Queen. They will be delivered to the Princess's residence later. Take a look and see which one you want to wear today. I will help you change."
No matter how calm Li Jiaojiao was, she was no longer calm now. These beautiful clothes and jewelry were so beautiful, right? !
Isn’t this the ultimate goal of women’s struggle?
"Is this all for me?"
"My princess, yes. Time is short, so these are all we have prepared. The queen has already ordered your clothes for the four seasons to be custom-made, and the rest will be delivered directly to the princess's mansion. Some tribute fabrics will also be sent over." The little palace maid nodded and told the story.
"Tribute fabric?" Li Jiaojiao walked forward to look at her new clothes one by one and spoke casually.
"Yes, my lady. For example, the one in front of you, which is as light and soft as smoke, is made of tribute soft smoke silk. Due to the complicated production process, only a few pieces are produced every year. However, over the years, the lady has accumulated a lot of them and gave them all to you.
In addition, there are heavy lotus brocade, fish tooth silk, moonlight brocade, and linghan brocade, collectively known as the five treasures of brocade, which are sought after by all the ladies and young ladies in the capital. Now they all belong to the princess.
The queen said, if you like it, you can keep it for yourself, if you don’t like it, you can give it to someone else, in short, it’s up to you.”
After the little palace maid finished her long speech, she seemed to have completed her task and stayed quietly aside without saying anything else, giving Li Jiaojiao enough time to digest the words.
Li Jiaojiao took a look at the gorgeous clothes in the room and finally understood why they were so beautiful. It turned out that they were all tributes.
Her future mother-in-law is really generous.
She walked to a set of cool clothes and paused. She was familiar with the fabric. "What is this?"
The little maid raised her eyes and took a look. "My lord, this is Linghan Brocade. It is named for its refreshing cool feeling and water-like luster. It was a tribute from the Northern Kingdom."
"Oh~" It turns out that Liangliangbu's name is Ling Hanjin.
"Let's take this Ling Hanjin set... the green set next to it."
Try a different flavor and Ling Hanjin will wear it when the weather gets hotter.
……
After changing clothes, she was led by the little palace maid to the terrace of Blue Moon Pavilion.
Chen Fei and Lu Ling were already sitting opposite each other, drinking tea. On the small table next to them were fruits with water droplets on them, black grapes, red strawberries, dark purple and yellow cherries, and some small tomatoes...
Concubine Chen waved, "Jiaojiao, come and sit down."
She no longer looked as haggard as when we first met. She seemed to have aged faster than before and was as beautiful as a fairy on the moon.
Li Jiaojiao followed his instructions and went over, taking the hand that Lu Liang extended to her and sat down next to him.
"Jiaojiao, thank you for the fruit you sent to mother. You are so busy, yet you still think about mother. You have worked hard. You must have suffered a lot on this trip. You look so thin." The beauty frowned slightly and looked at you with a distressed face.
Li Jiaojiao's clasped hands moved, and then a Forbidden City-printed mirror with a human face and peach blossoms in red appeared in her hand.
She reached out and handed the mirror to Concubine Chen, "Mother, you are so beautiful, do you know it yourself?"
The bronze mirrors of this era were still good enough to reflect people, especially the mirrors in the imperial palace, which were polished very smoothly. However, they were yellow!
Even if the person in the photo is clear, it will still be yellowish!
Concubine Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to follow Li Jiaojiao's train of thought.
When she subconsciously took the mirror handed to her by Li Jiaojiao and saw herself in the mirror, she was stunned.
"This is... a mirror? Such a clear mirror?"
"Yes, a mirror. A mirror that can reflect my mother's skin that is whiter than snow!" Li Jiaojiao nodded, very seriously.
If she had wanted to give Concubine Chen some skin care products before.
Now I am only worried that things with unknown ingredients may destroy Chen Fei's reverse growth.
She finally realized that some people are the Creator's favorites and are the Creator's works of art.
If she were Emperor Qing, she would also fall in love with Concubine Chen at first sight!
Such a beautiful woman, I have to keep her by my side even if I have to force her to love me!
