There has been an undercurrent in the circle of famous ladies in the capital recently. Many silk shops and rouge shops are working overtime all night to meet the special needs of these famous ladies.
"Shopkeeper, why do you feel more tired this year than at this time in previous years?" Yipin Rouge Shop is the rouge shop most frequented by celebrities in the capital. It has the most complete range of spices, the latest and best rouge gouache, and the prices are expensive.
Limited sales, it was dark every day, and the shop couldn't be closed yet. The shopkeeper asked to light the lamp, and the waiter asked.
The shopkeeper just took the time to take a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned around and said in a low voice: "You don't know, right? News came out early this morning that the two young ladies of the Yan family will participate in the concubine's reward this year.
Flower banquet!”
"So what's wrong?" The man was puzzled.
"What?" The shopkeeper looked at the waiter angrily: "You are stupid! Why does the concubine hold this flower viewing banquet every year? Isn't it to choose a concubine for the prince?"
"Yes, what does that have to do with the two young ladies of the Yan family?" The man was still confused.
"You stupid head!" The shopkeeper was very disappointed. Normally, this guy is quite smart. Is it all an illusion? "Don't you think about the fate of these two young ladies from the Yan family! This noble daughter of the capital city.
Everyone, can you not be nervous? In previous years, if she didn't go, it would be fair competition for everyone, and everyone would depend on their ability. But this year, she is going, and she has become the target of public criticism. All the noble ladies have pointed their fingers at her! No, it's all here.
Stand guard, do you want to find out what she was wearing that day?"
The clerk hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but asked cautiously: "But our shop didn't receive an order from Taishi Yan's Mansion..."
"Shh!" The shopkeeper quickly reached out and covered the waiter's mouth!
"Do you think I don't know?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened, suppressing his anger, and reprimanded: "Are you stupid? The key is that they don't know, and they think we know! So now everyone else is promoting us without looking at it.
The most expensive rouge and gouache in the store? Don't be idle, hurry up and get busy!" After sending the waiter away, the shopkeeper took a fancy to a plump woman and went to meet her.
"Mrs. Zhuo, welcome to our store. Is there anything you need?"
The waiter huddled in the corner, and after a few twists and turns in his mind, he finally understood what the shopkeeper meant. He jumped up in excitement and greeted a customer.
At Yan's house, Miss Six was invited to Miss Seven's yard.
"Seventh sister, what are you doing?" Yan Shuangyu looked at the yard in astonishment as large and small boxes were placed all over the floor. A large open space was also cleared in the house, with a circle of clothes and jewelry placed around it.
There is a huge mirror.
Yan Shuangyu approached the mirror and sighed at the clarity of the mirror: "This mirror is so clear, as if someone like me is walking towards me..."
"Sixth sister likes to come back and I'll ask Xuan'er to move to your yard."
"No, no, I can't take away what others like!"
"It doesn't matter, I still have it." This is just a full-length mirror made by refining magic weapons.
"Oh, you're welcome then." Yan Shuangyu glanced around and asked, "What is the seventh sister doing?"
Yan Qing said righteously: "I secretly went out to look around yesterday evening. The fashionable clothes in the capital are all the same. At the flower viewing banquet in a few days, I want everyone to look at Sixth Sister with envy. Just because these clothing stores are
It won’t work. But don’t worry, Sixth Sister, I have brought back many fairy clothes from my master, which are not only beautiful but also have certain protective functions.”
After saying that, he asked the maids to show off several dresses in turn. They were full of fairy spirit and made of materials they had never seen before. They were light and thin, yet very flexible.
"What kind of fabric is this? I've never seen it before." Yan Shuangyu touched it and asked.
"This is not an ordinary fabric. It is made from various materials. It can repel water and some minor spells. With this set of jewelry, Sixth Sister, you will always look radiant!" Yan Qing!
Giving full play to her eloquence, she changed Yan Shuangyu's clothes into seven or eight sets of fairy clothes, and finally chose a bright yellow cross-collar skirt, paired with citrine jewelry, which was bright and dazzling.
"That's it! Blind their eyes!" Yan Qing was very satisfied.
Yan Shuangyu stared blankly at herself in the mirror. Could it be that she was so beautiful?
She couldn't believe it, and then felt a little embarrassed... She didn't want to be the target of public criticism, and she didn't want to be favored by the prince, so dressing up like this was a bit too outstanding!
But...this dress is really beautiful.
"Sixth sister, the face you and I have is the face of the entire Yan family!"
"Yes!" Yan Qingzheng's words strengthened Yan Shuangyu's determination. She was no longer worried. There were thousands of beautiful women in the world, but she was not the most beautiful before or after. She did not outshine the others... she was just dressing up normally.
, you can’t embarrass your family!
Nalan Lianyue was very surprised. Her daughter was not the kind of person who was willing to join in the fun and get the limelight. Why would she want to go to the dowager's banquet?
"Mother, Sixth Sister is so pitiful." Yan Qing sighed softly, frowning and said: "The Emperor doesn't know what he means, just letting Sixth Sister's fate of the Crown Princess be passed down, and not asking her to marry her.
The prince did not say that he would not let her get married. The sixth sister is already fourteen years old, and everyone is looking at her! Our Yanfu can block the discussion for her for a moment, is it possible that we can block her for a lifetime? "
Nalan Lianyue touched her little daughter's face with pity: "You are still a little girl, so it is really not your turn to worry about these things."
"But the temperament of the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt..." Yan Qing shook his head and said: "Just look at the fifth sister, they don't have any good ideas."
"What about you, is it a good idea to just push your sixth sister in front of everyone?"
"At least this time the emperor and the prince can see Sixth Sister in public. Let alone being raised in a boudoir and no one knows her. After meeting, they should be able to determine whether they want Sixth Sister to be the Crown Princess."
"It's okay if they want it, but what if they don't want it? Have you ever thought about the situation of your sixth sister?"
"You can't look forward and backward when doing things. Besides, Sixth Sister is not that fragile. If you stretch your head out, it's the same as shrinking your head. It's better to know the result earlier than to keep hanging like this and suffer!"
Nalan Lianyue tapped the tip of her daughter's nose: "You are the only one who is smart!"
Yan Qing was acting coquettishly to his mother, shook Nalan Lianyue's arm, and then said seriously: "Actually, my daughter knows about the difficulties in the family. She has been unable to make up her mind after weighing both sides. She is just afraid that if one of them can't handle it well, the sixth sister will suffer.
I'm wronged. But now it's me who takes the lead. If it works, it's naturally the opinion of the elders in the family. If it doesn't work, if something goes wrong, it's because I, the little girl, was reckless and made the decision without authorization. This is good for the family and the sixth sister. After all, it has always been like this.
If you are worried, Sixth Sister will not be really happy."
Nalan Lianyue pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that it's hard for my son."
Yan Qingzheng shook his head: "A family should help each other."
Nalan Lianyue felt happy in her heart, and suddenly felt indescribably moved. She couldn't help but lean forward and ask: "My son, how did you spend the eight years in Tianyimen?"
Although there were letters exchanged, he had never seen it with his own eyes. What his son said when he came back was very cursory, and the male and female disciples were not always together. He really didn't know much.
"Just practicing, studying... um... just hanging out." Yan Qing tilted his head and thought for a while, that's all in general, let's not talk about breakthroughs, breaking into forbidden areas, stealing spiritual treasures, etc.
, after all, they are all independent events, they cannot be called daily life, they are not important...
Nalan Lianyue vaguely felt that her daughter was hiding something, but now that her daughter was sitting right in front of her, she didn't care so much about these details.
After some hesitation, Nalan Lianyue still asked: "About the marriage with Prince Xuan...what are you going to do?"
Yan Qing paused, his eyes flickered, and he said softly: "Let nature take its course. There are at least two years left to consider."
Nalan Lianyue nodded, stood up and was about to leave, but couldn't help being curious, so she turned around and asked: "Sister Qiao, what is your current level of cultivation?"
Yan Qing was stunned, she couldn't speak for a moment, her lips moved a few times but no sound came out. Nalan Lianyue took a deep breath when she saw this scene, and said: "Forget it, mother is just asking casually.
"
Then she left.
Yan Qing was thinking about why he subconsciously didn't want his mother to know his true cultivation...
My father and mother were also highly anticipated geniuses in the Tianyi Sect, but they have not reached their current level, nor have they touched the threshold of the Immortal Sect. If they had touched it and reached a height that they had never reached, it stands to reason that they
She should be happy. But if they knew about it, would they immediately send her back to Tianyimen and devote themselves to cultivating immortality?
I don’t know, so I don’t dare to bet.
It’s not that I refuse to continue cultivating immortality, I just hope that everything will happen on the basis of my own volition and not because of other people’s wishes and hopes.
At night, Yan Qing was standing on the roof of the tallest building outside the palace, dressed in white. Tonight she was going to visit the palace at night.
It was not for anything else, but she said she wanted to ensure the safety of Sixth Sister in the Royal Garden, and she must do it.
The night was as cold as water. She looked up and saw the bright moon being gradually covered by a floating cloud. She smiled slightly, gently put on the black cloak in her hand, hid her peerless face in the wide hat, and raised one foot towards the void.
Stepping on it, she floated towards the palace as light as a wild goose. She entered the palace from a very high altitude and landed in a remote corner. No one noticed in the huge palace. This was her absolute strength.
This is the location of the Cold Palace. There are only a few deserted palaces nearby, and further away are the residences of some unpopular concubines. She shuttled through these palaces like a ghost and came to a corner of the imperial garden.
She had already asked during the day and found out that the concubine's flower viewing party was near the Baihua Hall, so based on the direction she had detected, she easily found the Baihua Hall.
