The dress in Yinxing's hand was the palace dress that Su Chenyu was going to wear at the sacrificial ceremony. It was delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs late last night. Because it was too late, Su Chenyu was not allowed to try it on.
"Sir, you should try it on first. It's still early. If it doesn't fit, you can ask Madam to alter it."
Su Chenyu stroked the dress embroidered with gold thread, her eyes dark, "Mammy, you have all of mother's things, right? Bring out mother's old dress for the grand ceremony of sacrifice."
Nanny Xu had no doubts and immediately took out the dress that Concubine Chen had worn before.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with this dress?" Ginkgo was puzzled.
Su Chenyu ran her fingers over the pattern embroidered with gold thread: "Look carefully at the feather pattern. Is this a red bird or a phoenix?"
The Vermilion Bird and the Phoenix are extremely similar, and when the embroiderer was embroidering it, she deliberately made the Vermilion Bird look extremely like a Phoenix. Not to mention the Ginkgo, even Aunt Xu didn't notice it.
Nanny Xu naturally preserved the Concubine Chen's things very carefully and she wished to sort them out every day, so she got the dress very quickly. When she came back, she just heard what Su Chenyu said, so she unfolded the dress that the Concubine Chen had worn before.
After comparing the two, everyone finally discovered the subtle inconsistencies.
If the phoenix turns into a red bird, doesn't that mean it's a mockery of Su Chenyu being a fake phoenix?
Aunt Xu was so angry that her face changed. "Thank God you found out. Otherwise, wearing this dress with the Vermilion Bird pattern would make you a laughing stock in the whole capital. I will get rid of this Vermilion Bird dress right now."
“No need.” Su Chenyu waved her hand. “Take it with you. It will come in handy someday.”
Knowing that Su Chenyu was interested, Nanny Xu quickly dressed up Su Chenyu.
When Su Chenyu put on the dress that Concubine Chen had worn, it unexpectedly fit her perfectly. She looked similar to Concubine Chen, and even Madam Xu was a little confused.
"Prince has really grown up." Aunt Xu had tears in her eyes. When Prince was such a tiny little girl, he has grown into a graceful young lady. It's a pity that Concubine Chen can't see him anymore.
Su Chenyu looked at herself in the mirror. Based on her vague memory of her mother, she knew how similar her outfit today was to her mother.
"Mammy, it's time to go."
The hour of Mao was approaching, and everyone was waiting outside the Golden Palace.
Just when everyone was bored, Su Chenyu appeared.
Prince Xin was the first to notice it. He tugged at Princess Xin's sleeve in a daze and said, "Princess, I think I'm seeing Rong Zhen."
Princess Xin looked at Su Chenyu walking towards her against the light, and her eyes softened a lot. Rong Zhen, is this your child?
Rongzhen, when she was the imperial concubine, had been the target of countless men’s proposals before she married Emperor Jing of Wei.
Some people looked at Su Chenyu with tears in their eyes. Unknowingly, Su Rongzhen had been gone for so many years and her daughter had grown up so much.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Su Chenyu knew that she had become famous.
Mother, if you still have a spirit, please forgive your daughter for taking advantage of you. I also hope that you can bless me and make everything go well this time.
The queen naturally noticed that everyone had strange expressions, and she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from losing her composure.
Rongzhen, the woman who almost made her lose everything, she will never forget her in her life.
"Feng Yi, why didn't you wear the dress that the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared for you, but instead wore the old dress of the Concubine Chen?"
The Queen was so familiar with everything about Concubine Chen that she naturally recognized that the dress Su Chenyu was really hers.
