Chapter 778 Killing (3)
Shen Miao was somewhat speechless. Not to mention that Gao Yang's real identity was a court official of Daliang, even if he was in Mingqi, he was at least an imperial physician. Only Luo Tan could treat people with headaches and fevers all day long.
…
Meanwhile, Shen Dongling was dressing up in her mansion. Her attire today was exceptionally plain, almost to the point of being without makeup. She wore a rosin-colored Baitang long dress, the fabric naturally being of superb quality. Her jewelry consisted primarily of simple jade ornaments.
Xinghua looked around and said, "Madam, why are you dressed so simply today? Although you are naturally beautiful, when you go out, isn't it better to be more gorgeous?"
"What do you know?" Shen Dongling studied the beauty in the mirror. She was beautiful, with a striking resemblance to the graceful and elegant Wan Yi Niang in her youth. Even in such simple clothes, she looked quite charming and charming. Perhaps it was because she was married and had become a woman that she had acquired a certain inexplicable charm.
The servants in the mansion would sometimes whisper behind her back that Shen Dongling looked like a concubine. Most mistresses in wealthy families had handsome features, rounded figures, and a blessed appearance, suggesting loyalty and honesty. Shen Dongling, however, had large eyes, a pointed chin, and a foxy demeanor—the typical face of a concubine. Lady Wang and Master Wang had their complaints, but Wang Bi liked it, so all else was forgotten.
Shen Dongling looked at it for a moment, then took off the jade hairpin on her head and replaced it with a plain silver hairpin.
Seeing this, Xinghua wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Shen Dongling said, "Don't overthink it. I'm not the star these days. If I dress up, I'll steal the spotlight. I won't do such a foolish thing. There are plenty of opportunities to compete for attention, and this one won't be a big deal."
Hearing this, Xinghua added, "Madam, you are naturally beautiful. You don't need to be compared to others to be considered a top beauty."
Shen Dongling looked delighted by what she heard, but it wasn't the flattery of Xinghua that pleased her more. Today was the day that would make Prince Qin fall in love with Shen Miao at first sight. She was merely a foil. The more shabby she looked, the more she would highlight Shen Miao's elegance and grace, and the more natural this "marriage" would become.
However, since it was a "good marriage" that required many witnesses, the more people the better, and Wang Bi would also be there. This way, the prince would be constantly reminded that Wang Bi had made the greatest contribution to this good event.
Shen Dongling stood up and took another look at the post. The time on the post was Si, which was still quite early. She said, "Let's go outside and have dinner with my husband first. After dinner, we'll go to Yifeng Pavilion. It's just the right time."
She didn't know that while she was still having breakfast with Wang Bi, Huangfu Hao had already left.
The place for enjoying incense is Yifeng Pavilion, a pavilion in a mountain town outside Dingjing. It was once a scenic spot built by the previous emperor for the previous empress. From Yifeng Pavilion, one can overlook the deep canyon below and the azure sky above. The wealthy and refined often enjoy enjoying incense in Yifeng Pavilion. A lighted incense stick, accompanied by a gentle breeze, reaches the azure sky, evoking a sense of vastness.
Although it is winter now, the canyon below is covered with snow, and the aroma of boiling snow is even more interesting.
Huangfu Hao looked at the beautifully crafted invitation and chuckled. Falling in love at first sight with a minister's daughter in such a beautiful place sounded quite nice. But it was just giving someone else a free ride while he was just putting on a show.
Huangfu Hao's guards arrived, saying the carriage was ready and ready to depart. Huangfu Hao frowned and headed for the gate. Regardless, the invitation had been delivered, and the higher-ups insisted on arriving at Yifeng Pavilion at noon, which was a bit too early. And they had even insisted on him getting in early.
