Among all the prefectures in Kyoto, which concubine is qualified to attend such an occasion?
Even though Liu was able to control herself normally, she couldn't help but shine on her face. Her mind had already flown away, and she couldn't stop dreaming.
At this moment, the young ladies from various prefectures in Kyoto only regretted that their parents had not given them two more hands and mouths. They had no free time to do anything else. They were either directing the selection of new clothes to wear when they were about to enter the palace, or choosing jewelry. When the time came, they hesitated about what kind of makeup to put on.
Otherwise, some people may take this opportunity to review and practice their talents.
I was feeling very nervous and was just waiting to shine at the banquet today!
The Ling Mansion was also bustling with activity, except for Baili Feiyue in Qingfeng Pavilion, who was still sleeping soundly.
"Miss, Miss!" Su Yi knocked on the tightly closed door and rushed in anxiously. "Miss, why are you still sleeping! The carriage sent by the palace to pick you up has arrived at the gate of the mansion!"
Yawning, Baili Feiyue sat up lazily, picked up the light lotus-colored dress beside her and put it on slowly.
"Miss...just wear this..."
Baili Feiyue took a look at the clothes on her body. Well, they were clean, not bright red, and did not violate the birthday girl's taboos. There was no tear or damage anywhere. In that case, the clothes were good. Anyway, she was not the protagonist of this palace banquet.
"Miss, you don't really want to wear this? Without even putting on some makeup?" Su Yi was stunned.
Baili Feiyue nodded without realizing it, "That's it, it doesn't matter what I, your lady, wear." No one would let her, the future Princess of Qi, go, so she might as well wear something comfortable!
After tidying up her clothes and washing up, Baili Feiyue and Suyi went out. Chunshan, who was waiting outside, looked at Baili Feiyue in plain clothes and his eyes widened when he saw Chenwen.
Which man doesn't like a pretty woman? No matter how ugly or pretty a woman is, she needs to dress up.
The third young lady had a veil on her face, revealing only a pair of eyes as black as ink and a little lazy. She could have also half-covered her face, wanting to reveal nothing, but her makeup was eye-catching, and she might have taken the opportunity to win the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.
But...
But Chunshan did not stop it.
But I couldn't help thinking that if the Third Miss went there in this state, she would probably become a laughing stock...
Sure enough, Baili Feiyue is too low-key.
The eunuch standing by the carriage that was sent by the palace to pick up the young ladies from the palace looked at Miss Ling San strangely. If he had not seen her once before in the palace of Concubine Hui, he would have almost missed her!
It was obvious that he had not dressed up, but he was just a servant, and all he had to do was follow the orders from above and invite everyone to the palace.
This time, everyone in the general's mansion was invited except Miss Ling Jiu, who had been bedridden for years.
It's not just the Ling family, the same goes for the young ladies in other families.
The palace would send people and carriages to pick them up.
Just as everyone from the General's Mansion was setting off, hundreds of identical carriages set out from various mansions in the capital and headed towards the Imperial Palace.
People on the street were talking about it.
Every street was crowded with passers-by who came to watch the excitement. In the blink of an eye, a carriage sent by the palace would pass by. Looking at these carriages, one had no idea who was sitting inside.
Only when there was an occasional gust of wind that lifted the curtains of the carriage could one get a glimpse of the people inside.
After walking for a while, Baili Feiyue, who was bored and could only stare at Ling Ruolan, lifted the curtains and looked outside. As soon as she lifted it up and took a look, Ling Ruolan coldly let it go.
"It doesn't matter if you lose your own face, but don't lose mine too."
Oh, look, look at the way her second sister looks at her, Baili Feiyue.
Are you not allowed to lift the curtains and see what’s going on?
Baili Feiyue raised her eyebrows. What's the matter? You don't want to ride in the same carriage with me, but I am willing to ride in the same carriage with you?
God has no idea why the father-in-law who came to pick her up put her and her second sister in the same carriage.
She was not annoyed at all, but said with great pride, "That's just how I am. If you don't like it, just get off the carriage and walk. I won't give in to you anyway. Although I am a concubine's daughter, I am also the future legitimate princess consort of the King of Qi. There is no reason for me to get out of the carriage and let you go just because you don't like me."
Ling Ruolan looked down upon her sister deeply.
It’s not because of the relationship with the King of Qi, but I feel that although the person in front of me has some brains, he is not stupid, but he was brought up by my aunt after all, and was born to a woman like my aunt Zhen.
It is not worthy of being accepted by the upper class.
He suppressed the disgust in his heart and said calmly, "I know I am a broken jar, so I can only break it."
Baili Feiyue curled her lips, "How can I be as noble and elegant as you, my second sister? I am just an ordinary person. I want to look at what I am interested in, I want to eat what I see delicious, and I want to fight back against people I don't like!"
He sneered in his heart, did he think that Baili Feiyue would really behave herself and attend the palace banquet?
She is here just to cause trouble!
However, just as he opened his mouth, the voice of his accompanying father-in-law was heard from outside.
"Ladies, we have arrived at the palace. Please get out of the car."
Ling Ruolan glanced at Baili Feiyue and said nothing more. She straightened her clothes and got off the carriage before her.
At this time, outside the gate of the imperial palace, there were carriages of uniform specifications parked in an orderly manner. The young ladies from various families who got off the carriages were all dressed up beautifully, as if they were not here to celebrate Concubine Hui's birthday today, but to compete with each other for beauty.
Another thing that was both unexpected and reasonable was that many young princes and nobles had arrived earlier, and at this moment, they were looking at the young ladies of various families, whispering to each other and laughing.
Not only are there members of the royal family, but there are also young masters from the mansions of prominent figures in Kyoto!
Because the ladies and gentlemen of Kyoto's upper class society had never gathered together like this before, even a majestic and solemn place like the Imperial Palace seemed lively and relaxed.
There aren’t so many rules anymore.
You know, both these young ladies and young men understand that only a few can be chosen as a prince's concubine. Now that they can finally see each other openly, they can't help but pay attention to each other secretly.
The ladies thought that if they were not selected, they could still pick a good one from here.
Especially those illegitimate daughters, who knew that they were not qualified even if they were concubines, would almost set their sights on these young masters. If they could be favored by a young master, they would be very lucky.
However, those young masters thought that since the princes ate the meat, they could always have some soup.
If you see a suitable woman, you can propose to her.
They had just stepped off the carriage and were standing at the gate of the palace, but many young men and women had already started to make comparisons in their hearts.
"A fairy! I saw a fairy! What a cold and beautiful woman who is not interested in worldly things!"
