Since the annulment of the engagement, Sang Jiang found that her life was much more leisurely than before. Even when she secretly went out to find Liu Ruyu, no one paid any attention to her.
Sang Jiang was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet about this matter, but there were always people who wouldn't give her that opportunity.
She slightly raised her phoenix eyes to look at Cuiping standing in front of her: "Are you sure you want to take me with you to the palace banquet?"
Cuiping nodded with a smile: "Yes, Fourth Miss, in other families only the eldest daughter has this opportunity, but ours was specially requested by the First Madam from the Imperial Concubine."
Sang Jiang frowned deeply: "Can we not go?"
They even begged for it. Could that old hag really be so kind?
Besides, she wasn't really interested in the palace. What if she went there and accidentally offended someone and lost her life? How would she get home then?
Cuiping wasn't angry at all, and still had a bright smile: "But the Imperial Concubine has already spoken to the Empress Dowager about this. If Fourth Miss doesn't go, I'm afraid... it will displease the Empress Dowager."
Sang Jiang: ...
So what's the point of asking for her opinion?
Seeing that Sang Jiang didn't speak, Cui Ping curtsied to her and said, "Since Fourth Miss knows, then this servant will go back to report to the First Madam. Fourth Miss, don't forget to dress up nicely and don't embarrass the Prime Minister."
Sang Jiang: ...
She looked down at the shortened her herbal band and realized that this task might be a bit difficult.
Her clothes were either hand-me-downs from Sang Rui or from before; this light pink one was almost up to her calves.
Fine, since I don't have any pretty clothes, I might as well put on some makeup. If I can't be the most fashionable, I can at least be the most beautiful.
"Kou'er, go get me a whole egg."
Soon, Kou'er returned with a peeled egg and handed it to Sang Jiang.
Sang Jiang: ...
Seeing that she didn't react for a while, Kou'er moved the egg closer to her: "Miss, eat up, I've already peeled it for you."
Looking at her sincere little eyes, Sang Jiang couldn't stay angry. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Kou'er's chubby little cheeks: "Baby, I want raw eggs, take a few more, okay?"
Recently, because the food has been good, both she and Kou'er have gained a lot of weight, and Kou'er's face is no longer as thin and sallow as before.
Kou'er blushed instantly when Sang Jiang called her "baby," and she nervously turned around and ran to get the eggs.
She noticed that the young lady really liked pinching her cheeks lately.
Sang Jiang didn't think much of it. After Kou'er brought the raw egg, she carefully separated the egg white and yolk and then slowly applied it to her face under Kou'er's surprised gaze.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Kou'er couldn't help but ask.
While looking in the bronze mirror and applying egg white to her face, Sang Jiang stiffly said, "Apply a face mask. Your face will become bouncy and supple after applying it. Do you want to try it?"
Kou'er quickly shook her head; this stuff was too hot to put on her face...
"Forget it," Kou'er thought to herself, wanting to back out.
Seeing that she didn't like mulberry ginger, I didn't force her. After she evenly applied the mulberry ginger to her face, she simply leaned against the soft couch next to her.
"Honey, wake me up in fifteen minutes."
"Oh." Kou'er nodded, but what about fifteen minutes later?
Seeing that Sang Jiang had closed her eyes, Kou'er didn't ask her any more questions. She took out the needle and thread from the basket and began to do embroidery.
Sang Jiang used to make all these things herself, but she hasn't done it since she fell into the water.
Kou'er glanced at Sang Jiang, whose breathing had become even, and sighed. She still couldn't fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
Kou'er looked at her, her eyes flashing with an unreadable light: "Should we tell Miss about that matter...?"
