Ming Lanruo was looking around in front of the mirror at her concubine-colored double-breasted gown and light blue horse-faced lotus pattern skirt, and then she supported the delicate beaded lotus palace lantern between her bun and swayed it.
"Isn't it a bit too grand?" she muttered to herself.
Jing He covered his mouth and smiled lowly: "What's the grand ceremony? Master Qiantose is out of seclusion today. You should be a married woman and make up to welcome him."
"Hmph, that's nonsense. The little girl is actually making fun of me." Ming Lanruo casually knocked on Jing He's forehead.
She thought for a while, then inserted a delicate emerald begonia hairpin into her temple, bent her bright eyes and hummed: "I'm not dressing up for him, I just saw the weather was nice and wanted to dress up myself!"
Seeing his master's arrogant look, Chunhe couldn't help but smile.
After everything was packed, Ming Lanruo led Chunhe out.
However, as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a row of red boxes being carried towards the palace with people blowing them.
Ming Lanruo looked at the handsome man on the horse and frowned slightly. What is King Qin doing here?
Shangguan Hongye was riding on his horse and saw the graceful figure at the door of Prince Mou's Mansion.
He has always known that Ming Lanruo used to be the most beautiful woman in the capital, but since that incident five years ago, she no longer dresses brightly and prefers to dress plainly and low-key.
But today, she was dressed in a color as bright as the morning glow, with rare hairpins and pearls, all of which showed off her cool and gorgeous facial features and temperament.
As soon as Tingting stood there, the people around her became dim and dull, like a bright rose in the spring rain.
Shangguan Hongye felt his heart tremble slightly, and he suddenly understood why his father favored a woman like Chun Zhaoyi who had both the charm of a girl and a woman.
Flowers in bud, ready to bloom, have their own beauty, but they are not as beautiful as flowers in full bloom.
Shangguan Hongye got off his horse and stepped forward with a smile: "Lan Ruo, today is extremely beautiful."
Did she dress like this to welcome him? What a duplicitous woman!
"What are you doing here, Your Highness?" Ming Lanruo asked coldly.
Shangguan Hongye didn't pay attention to her indifference, he just thought she was still awkward: "My father gave me a plaque for Concubine Ming's Mansion, and ordered the Inner Court Department and Prince Qin's Mansion to give you the remaining one hundred and fifty dowry gifts."
come over."
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment and then understood: "Then please ask someone to carry it in, Your Highness."
She almost forgot and told Chun Zhaoyi to work hard on the emperor's side and ask the damn old man to send her the missing betrothal gift!
The old emperor tricked her into marrying the King of Qin. If she didn't trick him enough, how could she do it?
When Shangguan Hongye saw that her face looked better, he thought it was him who personally sent the betrothal gift to make Minglanruo happy, so he smiled and held her hand——
"Let's go!"
Ming Lanruo turned around and avoided his hand neatly: "Just put it in. I have to go to Dongchang, so I won't accompany you."
Shangguan Hongye felt inexplicably uncomfortable and turned around to block her face: "Are you going to pick Jiu Qiansui out of seclusion?"
"That's right, my uncle came out of seclusion today, and everyone is going to congratulate him. Why don't you go?" Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows, not hiding her provocation.
Shangguan Hongye suddenly turned cold and handsome: "Today, the king personally delivers the betrothal gift. As the head of Concubine Ming's Mansion, you have to count the boxes and then sign them. Otherwise, the king cannot deliver the betrothal gift casually."
She was not dressed for him, which made Shangguan Hongye feel extremely bad!
How could Cang Qiao, that dead eunuch, deserve to be dressed like this!
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but get angry: "You..."
This person must have deliberately prevented her from going to Dongchang!
