Shen Qiaochen took a closer look at the clothes, and felt a sense of surprise in her heart.

This is a dark robe, the color is so thick that it can almost blend into the night. It should be said that it is even deeper than the night.

But I don't know what kind of technique was used, and there was a faint stream of light swaying against the candlelight in the room.

"This is……"

"It's Jinyun Satin." Shen Qiaochen confirmed.

"It's really brocade..." Linglan's eyes widened and she sighed:

"This is the first time I have seen clothes made of brocade satin! It is said that this brocade satin is very expensive. When Miss Liu from the Ministry of War Shangshufu came to our Zui Jiangyue last year, she brought a purse with this brocade satin. Satin. That small purse, just because it was made of brocade satin, made the other girls present jealous and almost got into a fight with Miss Liu."

Linglan looked at the clothes with bright eyes and talked nonchalantly.

It was as if what she saw in front of her was not a robe, but a sparkling peerless treasure.

Seeing Shen Qiaochen looking at the clothes in silence, Linglan continued softly:

"If you want to talk about brocade satin, it looks good, but the color is too simple. It only comes in black. It's better for men, but it's rare for girls to wear it."

When Shen Qiao heard this, her eyes flashed, and when she thought of someone who was also wearing dark clothes tonight, she had a strange thought in her heart.

Is it possible...

When she came back to her senses, she heard Linglan still complaining about the color of the brocade satin.

Shen Qiaochen shook his head and said softly:

"Things are rare and valuable. Brocade Cloud Satin is a tribute, and it can only produce more than a dozen pieces a year, so it is naturally precious."

"A tribute...but Miss Liu..." Linglan hesitated.

Shen Qiaochen recalled it, and she should be talking about Liu Pingting, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War.

Shen Qiao raised the corners of her lips slightly as she thought of something. This person was also an interesting girl.

So she said to Suzuran with deep meaning in her eyes:

"Miss Liu is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, and most importantly, she is the granddaughter of the eldest princess."

Linglan is not an ignorant girl who knows nothing. With a father like Ji Qingyuan, she is naturally extremely smart.

So after Shen Qiaochen reminded her, Linglan suddenly became enlightened.

This Miss Liu is also a well-known lady in Beijing. It is said that she was born in the Minister of War, but she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle and quiet temperament.

Although like Shen Qiaochen, he has rarely appeared in Beijing for many years.

But people's evaluations of the two are quite different.

Moreover, Liu Pingting's grandmother was the only eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty and the most respected imperial aunt of Emperor Chongming.

As the granddaughter of the eldest princess, her background is certainly different from other ladies in the capital.

A mere piece of brocade is naturally affordable.

After thinking about this clearly, Linglan looked at Shen Qiaochen with admiration.

Didn’t you say that Miss Shen Si has been ill and bedridden all year round? Why do you even know all this?

Is it possible that General Shen is always so strict in teaching his children...

Staring blankly at Shen Qiao's frail figure, Ling Lan's thoughts gradually drifted away.

After using the medicine and tasting every kind of dessert made from lily of the valley, Shen Qiaochen put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the teacup at hand and drank slowly.

Seeing this, Linglan roughly understood Shen Qiaochen's preferences.

Seeing that Shen Qiaochen had almost eaten, Ling Lan first carried the baggage brought by Xiao Jue to the small platform next to the screen.

When Shen Qiaochen came over, she had thoughtfully prepared hot water, and neatly placed the soap powder and face towels aside.

So Shen Qiaochen, with the help of Linglan, first took off the half-dry outer robe, then the middle coat and shoes and socks...

Shen Qiao and Shen were used to being served by Ju Bai and others, and were not quite used to other people approaching her.

Moreover, in her previous life, she had been in the cold palace for ten years. During those years, the four of them, Orange and Bai, left one by one. Even the nanny Lin, the nanny, died of a stick because she asked for medicine.

At that time, the Shen family had long been overthrown. As far as Xiao Li was concerned, Shen Qiaochen had lost the value of using her. After banishing her to the cold palace, he forgot about her.

And her good cousin, Xiao Li's new concubine Bai Xiaonian, would naturally not let go of this opportunity to humiliate her.

For a long time after that, Shen Qiaochen was the only one left in Nuo Da's cold palace.

This was naturally against the regulations, but with Bai Xiaonian's signal, it was different.

Of course, the palace people will not disobey the hot new queen for the sake of a deposed queen whose family has been wiped out.

Therefore, Shen Qiaochen can only rely on himself most of the time.

For a long time, Shen Qiaochen wandered alone in the cold palace. If the clothes got dirty, she could only wash them by herself. If there was not enough food, she could only count the hours and save food...

She was obviously the legitimate daughter of a general's family, and she grew up in fine clothes and fine food.

Just because he fell in love with Xiao Jue, his family collapsed and he no longer had anyone to rely on.

In the first days, she was also afraid.

She has been timid since she was a child, afraid of the dark, ghosts and loneliness.

But in the end, I discovered that the most terrifying thing in the world is not those illusory fantasies.

But the real human heart.

Whenever Shen Qiaochen closes his eyes, he can see the tragic scenes of the Shen family members before they die.

There was nothing she could do but suffer and struggle day and night.

It wasn't until the fire broke out in the cold palace that day that she finally found relief.

…

Smiling and stopping Ling Lan who wanted to help, Shen Qiaochen rolled up her sleeves, washed her face, and put on a brand new undergarment.

But when Shen Qiaochen had just fastened the belt of his middle coat, he heard the voice of Lily of the Valley behind him.

"Fourth girl, which outfit do you want to wear?"

"Huh?" Shen Qiaochen was a little surprised.

Shen Qiaoqi had only given him one set of men's clothes before, so Orange Bai would naturally not find another set of men's clothes to put in the car.

Therefore, there should be only one set of women's clothes in the bag Xiao Jue sent, so why would there be another set to choose from?

Shen Qiaochen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the collapse.

I saw that the heavy baggage had been opened by Lily of the Valley and spread out.

What also surprised Shen Qiaochen was that there was a smaller black baggage inside the cyan baggage.

The baggage had already been opened by Suzuran. When Suzuran reached out and took out the dark clothes inside, she almost screamed in surprise.

Under the moonlight, there seemed to be water patterns flowing on the dark robe,

Nan Xing was always silent, and Shen Qiaochen and Ling Lan didn't pay attention.

When Shen Qiaochen looked over, he saw Nan Xing holding a piece of peach cake and eating it in small bites.

She ate her snacks very quickly and made almost no sound.

She quickly got rid of the large piece of peach cake in her hand, and then quickly picked up the chestnut cake on another plate in front of her, eating it equally quickly and quietly.

While Shen Qiaochen was combing her hair with the help of Ling Lan, she looked at Nan Xing sitting behind her through the mirror in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.

When Linglan finally put down her comb and was about to ask Shen Qiaochen to get up and move behind the screen to change clothes, Nanxing heard the sound and quickly retracted her hand that was reaching for another plate of snacks.

Shen Qiaochen made a rough calculation in her mind. In the short time she was dressing up, Nanxing ate a total of two pieces of peach cake, three pieces of hibiscus cake, three or four pieces of chestnut cake...

Seeing Nan Xing reluctantly retracting his gaze towards Dim Sum, Shen Qiaochen couldn't help but lower his head, cover his lips and chuckle.
