Shen Sisi waited until midnight, only to hear the news that Hong Yu had returned without success.

"Trash, you can't do such a small thing well."

With a snap, five clear finger prints appeared on Hongyu's face. Although she looked fine after applying ointment, the pain was even more burning than usual.

Covering her face and kneeling on the ground: "Miss, I really don't blame this slave. I have tried my best. But you also know that since the renovation of Jianjia courtyard a few days ago, it is like an iron bucket. I really can't find you." Go somewhere and sneak in."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Shensi stared at Hong Yu. When she thought about the only useful person around her, and she was still powerless, she became angrier and angrier, and she grabbed Hong Yu's arm twice.

There were tears in Hongyu's eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out, so she could only hold back and reply: "I have already thought of a way. I will wait until the day of the Queen Mother's birthday party, and then I will secretly sprinkle the powder on the second lady's skirt, so that she can You will make a fool of yourself at the birthday party."

Surprise flashed across Shen Sisi's eyes, so what if she was allowed to attend the birthday banquet. If she got a rash all over her body, she would not only be laughed at by the noble ladies, but also be disliked by the Queen Mother.

"You have some brains, go down, I want to rest."

Hongyu resignedly stepped back and walked out of the room. She quickly applied some ointment given by Shen Qingyun, and her cheeks suddenly felt cool and relieved a lot.

"Bah." Thinking of the second lady's plan, Hongyu spat with some gloating, and left with a sneer.

...

On the day of the birthday banquet, everyone in the house started to get busy early in the morning.

Shen Shensi got up early and cleaned up for an hour.

Today she is wearing a light blue moiré-breasted jacket and a moonlight-colored water-patterned skirt. The hem of the skirt is embroidered with dark patterns with silver thread. This plain yet exquisite dress makes her skin even whiter and translucent. , the head is also set off with a sparse Suiyun bun, and the steps are rocked. When walking, the tassels gently sway across the cheeks, making it look very spiritual.

I have to say that the way she dressed today really made her look 50% more elegant and elegant.

But soon, she stopped laughing.

Just because she saw Shen Qingyun.

How could it be!

Not only was Shen Qingyun not overshadowed by the gorgeous clothes, but it made her whole person look noble and noble. A strand of hair fell on her collarbone, and her slender and graceful neck looked fragile and flexible. Her eyes were even more like black. She was as bright as a pearl, different from her usual immature look, and her raised eyelids added a sense of grace and charm to her face. When this cool and beautiful face smiled, it was even more difficult to look away.

When Shen Sisi got closer, she realized that Shen Qingyun had almost become as tall as herself without even realizing it, and even the bulge on her chest that could not be ignored was exceptionally white and plump.

Standing next to her, Shen Sisi felt as if he had lost his light.

"Sister, you look really special today.",

"Really? My sister is also very beautiful. Let's go. Mother and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Ignoring the jealousy and sourness in Shen Shensi's eyes, Shen Qingyun got on the carriage first. Han and Shen Zhifeng were already sitting on the other carriage. Shen Shensi and Shen Qingyun looked at each other in silence, and Shen Qingyun closed his eyes. Rested.

Shen Shensi quickly gave Hong Yu a wink secretly.

Hongyu nodded lightly, and when the carriage turned a corner, she pretended not to sit still and threw herself directly on Shen Qingyun's skirt.

"Oh my god, Second Miss, I'm sorry, I wrinkled your skirt, I'll help you straighten it." After saying that, she helped Shen Qingyun straighten the hem of her skirt.

Pearl glared at her fiercely and said nothing.

Shen Shensi saw that everything was going well, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep, but in her heart she began to fantasize about the time when she would shine.

Arriving at the palace gate, the carriage slowed down.

Shen Zhifeng and his colleagues went to the emperor's side first, while Han took her two daughters to the back garden, where the queen would receive the female family members before the birthday banquet began.

Mrs. Han told them: "There are many rules in the palace. Please follow me carefully and be careful in your words and deeds."

Shen Shensi and Shen Qingyun both nodded.

Shen Qingyun was actually a little nervous in her heart. This was the first time in her past life that she had stepped into the palace. The towering and oppressive palace walls had imprisoned many women in their lives, just like her previous life.

Not everyone is as lucky as her and can live a new life for themselves.

But in this case, she demolished the square wall in her heart and lived a free and easy life for once.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know. Is there such a beautiful girl in Kyoto? Which family is she from?"

"Look next to her, is it the Han family?"

...

Shen Qingyun was immersed in his own thoughts and had reached the entrance of the garden unknowingly.

Many ladies and ladies cast curious glances at her.

Shen Qingyun suddenly calmed down in her heart. She folded her hands in front of her, and her skirt barely moved as she walked. If she met a lady Han knew, she would also smile and salute, showing the etiquette of a lady.

"Is this actually Shen Qingyun, the second young lady of Duke Shen's mansion?"

"Didn't you say that she was just picked up from the countryside? How do you think her style is no worse than that of a noblewoman from Kyoto?"

"No way, I heard before that Shen Qingyun is ugly."

"What's the use of being beautiful? It's just because of Han's good looks. It's said that she doesn't even know her words. Which wealthy family would marry such a woman."

"Yes, have you ever met Princess Jing'an? She is truly the most talented and beautiful woman in Kyoto."

"I heard that the princess will come today."

"Then Miss Shen's family is not enough."

...

There were a lot of discussions around her, but Shen Qingyun's expression did not change, which made everyone couldn't help but look at her.

Shen Shensi's face was pale. In the past, when she attended banquets with Han, she would always receive praise from many ladies, but today, whether they were appreciative or disparaging, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Qingyun.

Mrs. Jiang Hou saw Mr. Han and came up to say hello with a smile: "Sisi, Qingyun, you are all here. Come and sit here quickly."

Shen Shensi took a look and saw that the table was filled with ladies and ladies from lower social status. Disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she still followed Han and sat down obediently.

Not surprisingly, everyone at the table couldn't stop praising Shen Qingyun.

At this time, a maid came to report: "Princess Jing'an has arrived."

Everyone looked towards the maid's voice.

Shen Qingyun met Princess Jing'an's eyes at a glance. She was truly as beautiful as a fairy. Shen Qingyun couldn't help but admire her, but for some reason, she saw obvious hostility in the eyes of this princess.
