After the two changed their clothes and walked out, a maid came forward and took the old clothes from their hands.
The princess was currently leaning on the phoenix couch in the middle of the hall, her dark red gilded dress making her look unattainable.
She sat with her legs casually spread apart, one hand resting on her knee, the other hand leisurely holding a wine glass.
Seeing the two of them come out, he looked them over with a calm and generous gaze, and said with a curled lip: "The lotus in the autumn mist is as beautiful as a painting, and the beauty is as charming as a flower."
After saying this, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, her movements elegant yet graceful.
"Ladies, please!"
After Li Nian and Li Sisi expressed their gratitude, they took their seats, and the maids in the hall began to serve wine and snacks.
In the side hall, a female musician had already started playing melodious and lingering music without anyone noticing.
As the music started, a group of crimson dancers, with bird feathers in their hair, wearing long veils and silver bells on their bare feet, filed into the center of the hall and stopped, dancing to the rhythm.
Li Sisi casually picked up the wine glass on the wooden table in front of her and took a sip. Then her eyes lit up. It was fruit wine!
She leaned towards Li Nian and whispered, "Sister, I feel like something's wrong with this direction! This princess is being too nice to us, isn't she? Is it just because we were…"
At this point, she suddenly realized, "That's not right! You were humiliated in public by your husband, so it shouldn't be her turn to apologize, right?"
Li Sisi shifted her butt a little restlessly: "Tell me, what is she planning?"
Li Nian has also been thinking about this question. Why did the princess do this?
If she liked Xiao Yunyu, then she should take this opportunity to fan the flames and make Xiao Yunyu hate her even more, then she should keep Xiao Yunyu to enhance their relationship.
However, she left herself and Sisi behind, and even considerately led them to her own bedroom to change clothes. Now she invited them to watch dancing and taste wine in Fengxi Pavilion.
"My two ladies, the princess asked me to make you some ginger tea. I've placed it on the table."
The maid's voice sounded low and respectful.
Li Nian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
How sweet! This is not the right attitude to treat a love rival.
The two best friends looked at each other with tacit understanding, their eyes full of confusion.
What exactly is this princess planning?
When the dance ended, none of the dancers left. Instead, they sat down on the wooden table below.
The maids in the hall also served them wine and snacks.
According to the rules of this world, it is never allowed for a dancer to sit at the table, let alone in front of the princess.
However, they sat down very naturally, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this.
The princess drank her wine while observing the attitudes of the two people calmly.
Seeing them looking around curiously, she decided to kindly explain their confusion: "Don't be surprised, ladies. All the women who enter my princess's mansion are good sisters, regardless of status."
"They just happened to have some dancing skills, so they used their talents to entertain us."
One of the dancers covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly, then said in a loud voice, "The princess has always treated us like sisters. It is a great blessing for the two girls to have the honor of meeting Her Royal Highness!"
The princess smiled and said, "You're the only one who talks sweetly." She looked towards the entrance of the hall and asked casually, "Why hasn't Miss Furong come yet?"
"Miss Furong said she would definitely present her newly choreographed dance music to Her Royal Highness today. She even had a custom-made dress specially made for the dance. Unfortunately, we were a little rushed, so the store was a little late in delivering the dress."
The dancer, praised for her sweet talk, smiled especially sweetly: "It should be about time now, but Your Highness the Princess always appreciates beauties with talents. I wonder if these two sisters have any talents?"
Everyone looked at Li Nian and Li Sisi.
Li Nian smiled and replied, "We don't have any special talents."
The princess's gentle voice rang out, "They are both wives of ministers in the court. They should be familiar with needlework, 'Women's Virtues' and 'Women's Precepts', but they probably can't sing or dance."
"You don't even know how to play the piano?" The dancer tilted her head and looked at the two of them with curiosity.
Li Sisi: I can recite 300 Tang poems and 800 Song poems. Is that considered a talent?
Li Niandan smiled and replied, "No."
At this moment, a bright red figure rushed into the hall like a demon. She held a pipa in her arms and half covered her face. A large area of snow-white skin on her slender waist was faintly visible under the red gauze, accompanied by the faint sound of golden bells.
The jade feet were painted with bright red nail polish, and red silk thread was wrapped around the toes, up to the ankles, and then around the jade legs.
The golden bells hanging on the red silk thread rang softly as she walked, and every step she took was graceful and charming.
Although all the people present were women, they were all mesmerized by the sight.
The sounds of the piano and bells are so pleasing to the ears that it is hard to tell whether the music follows the dance or the dance follows the music.
After a long time, the setting sun outside the house shone in obliquely, as if it was specially plated with golden light for her, as if the heavens were attracted by her.
Li Nian was surprised to find that the dancing woman was none other than the girl Furong whom Xiao Yunyu had bought at a high price that day.
When I just heard them say "Miss Furong", I thought it was just a name.
Thinking back to that day in Hibiscus Pavilion, the princess said, "Thank you for Xiao Yunyu's gift, she likes it very much." Could it be that the gift she was referring to was actually Miss Hibiscus? A woman?
Li Nian's CPU is about to burn out. Why are all these things going against common sense?
Li Sisi was so excited that she kept pulling at Li Nian's sleeve, exclaiming in a low voice: "Sisters, sisters, it's Miss Furong! Ahhh, being a princess is so cool, you can ask such a beautiful woman to dance with you alone!"
Li Nian looked at Li Sisi in confusion, a little bewildered for a moment. Sisi didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. Was she too suspicious?
They sat there for the entire afternoon until the banquet ended, and the princess invited them to participate in the fireworks party in the evening.
Hearing that fireworks would be set off in the evening, Li Sisi readily agreed with great interest.
