Cuixian saw this and leaned over with a smile. She picked up the dress and waved it in front of Song Wanning, "Madam, this dress is extremely valuable now. It was given to Princess Xiangyu by the Empress Dowager. Even Princess Xiangyu usually doesn't wear it. If Madam wears it, you will surely be extremely rich and beautiful."
Song Wanning got closer and saw that the dress was inlaid with gold and jade, and the material was also the finest brocade. She was afraid that it was not suitable for someone of her status. This time, Princess Xiangyu had reluctantly given up her love just to deal with her.
In this situation, if Song Wanning doesn't cooperate with her, she's afraid she won't know what kind of things she might do.
Song Wanningzhi smiled faintly at Cuixian, "It's hard for the princess to think so much about me. There is such a beautiful dress in this room, and it was personally awarded by the Queen Mother. It's really a coincidence."
"This dress is so precious, it's just a coincidence that it's here." Cuixian forced a smile. "Madam, please change quickly. It would be bad if you catch a cold wearing wet clothes."
Song Wanning put on the clothes with the help of the palace maid. The color and material of the clothes were both excellent. When she wore them, she looked even more beautiful. She was not as cold and lively as usual, but she looked more elegant, like a rich flower blooming in the world.
Even Cuixian couldn't help but admire Song Wanning when she saw her wearing it, "Madam, you look so beautiful in this dress that you don't look like a mortal, but like a fairy from heaven."
Song Wanning chuckled and looked at Cuixian beside her and said slowly, "If it weren't for the fact that my clothes were wet, I wouldn't have worn such precious clothes. In this case, I have to thank you very much."
Cuixian forced a smile and quickly changed the subject, "Now those ladies are all waiting for you outside. When you go out, it's a good opportunity for them to see your grace, Madam Yin. They will surely be amazed at your beauty."
Song Wanning felt it was ridiculous in her heart. It was hard to say what she meant by looking at her demeanor, but she really wanted to make fun of her.
Princess Xiangyu's move was designed to embarrass Song Wanning in front of the other ladies, and she had come up with such a detrimental method. The current dynasty placed great importance on the reputation of its ladies, and if she truly lost her composure in front of everyone, I'm afraid her story would spread throughout the capital in a matter of days.
Although Song Wanning was thinking this in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. She just looked at Cuixian and said calmly, "We can't let the princess and the ladies wait anxiously. Let's get out quickly."
When Song Wanning went out, all the ladies were called to the pavilion by Princess Xiangyu to drink tea. When these ladies saw Princess Xiangyu and Consort Xian, they really didn't know what the mother and daughter were up to, but they could only endure it.
The ladies were all sitting in their seats. When they turned around, they saw Song Wanning coming out from the side hall. She was wearing an autumn-fragrance-colored Liuxian dress inlaid with gold and jade. She had an extraordinary temperament and was really eye-catching.
Upon seeing this, all the ladies exclaimed in amazement. Madam Xu, who was sitting next to Princess Xiangyu, had already echoed this sentiment, "Her Highness actually let Madam Yin wear such a beautiful and dignified dress. This dress is so elegant and luxurious, most people probably wouldn't have the good fortune to wear it."
Princess Xiangyu chuckled twice, glanced at Madam Xu, and echoed, "After all, it was me who was wrong to Madam Yin. I let the little palace maid splash her. As the host, I should always consider the ladies. Look at how beautiful Madam Yin looks in it."
At this moment, the lady sitting in the back also spoke up, "The princess is really generous. She actually gave me such a precious dress with just a wave of her hand. I am dazzled by the sight."
"As long as the ladies come and go frequently in the future, won't they worry about not having beautiful skirts like this?" Princess Xiangyu said with a faint smile, "Even if I can get ten skirts like this, it won't be difficult."
Princess Xiangyu apparently said that the ladies should interact more with her, but in fact she was asking the officials in the ladies' families to interact more with Prince An Xie Ke. No one present could fail to hear what she said.
Seeing Song Wanning getting closer and closer, the lady on the other side sighed twice, "Madam Yin is indeed a beauty. Clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. This is really true. Now seeing her wearing such luxurious clothes, she is even more outstanding than usual. I am very fond of her, let alone the Prime Minister."
As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Xiangyu, who was sitting above, suddenly looked two points colder.
The lady's praise of Song Wanning was like a slap in her face. Her desire to marry the Prime Minister was a joke. She was not as beautiful as Song Wanning, which was why she was not in the Prime Minister's eyes.
The lady obviously realized she had made a mistake. She immediately covered her mouth and sat down on the chair, not daring to look up at the princess. She only managed a smile to atone for herself, saying, "But when choosing a wife, one certainly doesn't just look at appearance. I guess Madam Yin has other outstanding qualities."
Now the situation is getting worse and worse. Princess Xiangyu looked unhappy and turned away, ignoring the lady.
After Song Wanning entered the pavilion, she bowed to Princess Xiangyu who was sitting in the main seat and said, "Thank you, Princess, for giving me the clothes today. It gives me the opportunity to wear such beautiful clothes."
"It's all as I should. Please take a seat." Princess Xiangyu said, glancing at the empty seat beside her and said calmly, "There's still a seat reserved for you. Please sit down and have some tea."
Song Wanning responded and walked to a chair beside her. After a while, she sat down like the other ladies who came to the banquet.
Princess Xiangyu's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing. She looked at the ladies and said slowly, "Thank you all for coming to my banquet today. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come and talk to me. We are just family."
All the ladies sitting beside Princess Xiangyu agreed, while Song Wanning sat in a chair and drank tea quietly.
During the banquet, Princess Xiangyu kept glancing at Song Wanning, anticipating a specific reaction from her. Even Madam Xu and Wu Junrou, who were standing beside Princess Xiangyu, kept glancing at Song Wanning.
As the banquet drew to a close, Song Wanning remained normal, causing Princess Xiangyu to frown in confusion. At this moment, Song Wanning stood up, a faint blush on her face. "Princess, I've drunk too much and am feeling unwell. I'd like to go downstairs and rest for a while."
Princess Xiangyu thought the drug she had given her was starting to take effect, so she looked at Song Wanning and said, "I saw you didn't drink much, so how come you're drunk? You want to sneak away, but I won't allow it. Sit a little longer. I've drunk more than you, and I'm still sitting."
