Chapter 72: You're False, I'm Fake

Xue Rou'er quickly said: "Oh, don't throw it away. It's hard to deal with without it." After saying that, she took the tray in her hand. Inside was a colorful glazed peony. This peony was a tribute from other countries.

Yes, no one knows the casting skills.

The eldest princess closed her eyes and said, "What did it look like? I'm really afraid that you will ruin my image."

Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't peek, it will be fine soon."

She carefully fixed the colorful glazed peonies right behind the eldest princess's bun, then took a few steps back to take a look, and then said with satisfaction: "Okay, take a look quickly."

The eldest princess was a little afraid to open her eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She saw a beautiful woman appearing in the mirror.

The makeup is still the same, but there is a red plum blossom on the forehead, and the pearl earrings on the ears are replaced by a string of gold leaves that reach the collarbone. The white hair on the head is braided into countless little braids, but there are strips in each strand.

The golden ribbons, white and gold, look like gold and silver jewelry. Especially Xue Rouer carefully made these little braids into a peony. With the one on the back of her head, she is very dazzling.

Grandma smiled and said: "The white hair is invisible. If you didn't look carefully, you would think that the peony is made of gold and silver."

The blush on the eldest princess's face deepened and she said, "This won't make you look older, right?"

Xue Rou'er looked at her shy look and immediately understood one thing in her heart. Her story had enlightened the eldest princess, and the eldest princess had a man like Zhi Cao silently guarding her. Today's transformation of her

It was just for that man, but it was a good thing. She no longer had to live a life of a walking zombie.

"To the eldest princess, the lights in the imperial garden are starting to light up. Do you want to go over?" the maid outside the door asked timidly.

The eldest princess was in a good mood. She stood up and said, "Go, of course, I have to do two things today."

Xue Rou'er didn't dare to ask anything, she thought it was better to be a fool.

The eldest princess took Xue Rou'er to the imperial garden. Xue Rou'er was holding a gift dedicated to the emperor. Because the mother-in-law had to go to the imperial concubine to serve her, she had to do this by herself.

When they arrived at the Royal Garden, some ladies didn't recognize the eldest princess. They all looked at her in surprise, and some frivolous men even started to point fingers at her.

The father-in-law who was setting up the venue looked at the eldest princess for a long time, then came over and said, "Slave, please see the eldest princess."

This sentence shocked the whole audience. The faces of those beauties had different expressions, but their eyes were full of surprise.

The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "Where is your royal brother?"

The father-in-law said: "The emperor is at Fengqi Palace and will be here soon."

The eldest princess nodded and said: "That's all, I'll wait here. Okay, you go and do your work."

"Yes." Before the father-in-law left, he couldn't help but look at the eldest princess. He felt that she was like ice on weekdays, but today she was like the scorching sun!

After waiting for a while, when the lanterns were all lit and everyone was almost seated, the emperor came with the queen.

Xue Rou'er was curious about what the emperor looked like, so she took a few secret glances. However, she was very disappointed. The emperor was just an ordinary person with a nose, two eyes and one mouth, but the skin on his body was different.

But when they arrived at a brightly lit place, Xue Rouer's impression changed again. Why did the emperor's face look familiar? But he was too far away and couldn't see clearly.

The empress can clearly see her. Her golden hair makes people ignore her appearance.

The emperor kindly announced the start of the banquet, and a group of people quickly ate and sat down while the dancers danced gracefully.

After the dancers went down, some people began to offer treasures, but they were just precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, nothing new.

When it was the turn of the women to gather, the concubines changed their tricks to make the emperor happy, and tried their best to lure the man on the dragon throne to his palace. Of course, you don't need to think about it to know what the anger behind the queen's fake smile was.

exuberant.

When they arrived at the eldest princess, the eldest princess stood up and said calmly: "It's a pity that I don't have a gift, but the adopted daughter I just adopted has a gift for the emperor." After saying that, she and Xue Rou'er tore open the canvas one by one.

The ribbon embroidery is even more effective in the dim light, and the dragon on it seems to be flying away in the clouds.

The scene that originally had some sound immediately became silent. The emperor saw it and praised loudly: "Okay, it's wonderful."

The queen was also quite surprised. She had seen a lot of embroidery, but had never seen such a novel thing. She became interested for a while and wanted to call Xue Rou'er to come and ask. But then she thought about it and thought that she was the adopted daughter of the eldest princess.

He gave up the thought that just arose, after all, being close to the eldest princess would be a slap in the emperor's face.

The emperor looked at the eldest princess with burning eyes for a long time before he said: "The emperor has adopted a good daughter."

The eldest princess blessed her and said, "Thank you very much, brother, for your support over the years. I used to be a naive sister, but today I heard a story and immediately became enlightened. I also know the person who has suffered all these years."

The emperor asked in surprise: "What allusion? Can you tell me?"

The eldest princess repeated the story told by Xue Rou'er vividly. At the end, she smiled and said: "My sister is just as stupid as that spider."

The emperor nodded and said: "You finally understand, then are you willing to get married?"

The eldest princess nodded and said, "My sister is willing."

The emperor said: "But it is a grassland and there are no high beds and soft pillows like those in the palace."

The eldest princess smiled and said: "Glory and wealth cannot buy a lover."

The emperor nodded and sighed: "If you need anything, just ask, my brother will definitely satisfy you."

The eldest princess smiled sweetly but said nothing. Xue Rouer was stunned there, the things in her hands had been presented to her by the eunuch, and she became at a loss.

The emperor and the queen discussed in a low voice after looking at the ribbon embroidery. The queen said: "The legitimate daughter of the Xue family is indeed very clever. I wonder if she has an engagement?"

Xue Rou'er quickly knelt down and said: "Go back to the Queen, the daughter of the people has already been engaged."

The emperor and the empress looked regretful, and the empress said: "Hey... that would be a pity. I wonder if any of the princes want to marry the Xue family?" She winked at the ninth prince frequently.

As soon as the Ninth Prince took a step forward, he was stopped by the Fourth Prince. He said, "After returning to our mother's house, none of the three of us want to marry a lowly businesswoman."

The queen's expression changed, but the emperor said happily: "Don't talk nonsense, all living beings are equal, how can you be noble? Since we are engaged, I will give you a thousand taels of gold as a dowry."

Xue Rouer kowtowed with an expression of extreme surprise and thanked her, and then hugged the box of gold without letting go. Everyone who saw it began to sneer, and some even whispered in a low voice: "She is indeed a businesswoman, and she smells like copper."
