Chapter 666 Parent-child Outfit
After drinking the medicine, Bai Qianqian leaned back in her chair subconsciously. Her pale face, which was originally covered by powder, seemed to have a little more redness, and her whole state showed a rare sense of relaxation.
It was unknown how long it took before she opened her eyes again, and it was visibly clear that she was in much better spirits than before.
Zi Yue was no longer worried and immediately helped her change clothes.
Also, because Bai Qianqian had been taking medicinal soup every day recently, her body was more or less stained with the smell of bitter medicine, which might make the prince unhappy, so Bai Qianqian ordered the palace maids to give her two sachets.
In addition to the one hanging outside, I also hide one inside my clothes to ensure that I smell good.
After everything was ready, he went out with satisfaction.
…
In Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Li had packed up early and came to Yuxiu Palace, waiting for Si Linglong to come over together.
When she came over, Si Linglong was still dressing up.
Because it was a festive day, New Year's Eve, Si Linglong wore the indigo flying crane palace dress that had been prepared in advance by the embroidery studio. It looked solemn yet lively.
On the table was a set of sapphire headpieces that matched the clothes perfectly.
Li Guipin only took one look and felt a hint of envy.
But it's just envy.
After drinking half a cup of tea outside, Si Linglong was finally dressed properly. Every part of her body was exquisite. Compared with her usual casual and carefree appearance, she had added a bit of reserve and splendor that a concubine should have.
This is also what Helian Yue meant.
The New Year's Eve palace banquet was the first formal occasion that Si Linglong attended after being crowned as a concubine. Rather than dressing up in those lively and pretty attires, she had to show some of the elegance and grace that a concubine should have, so as not to let those clan members look down on her.
But I have to say that Si Linglong's makeup is more refreshing.
Li Guipin stared blankly for a few seconds, then retracted her gaze and looked again, unable to help but sigh inwardly.
No wonder she is so favored. Just based on her looks, any woman would like her.
But what I like more is Si Linglong's skin which is as delicate as tender tofu.
Sometimes women look at other women more carefully than men do.
Concubine Li envied Si Linglong's appearance and began to envy her skin.
I obviously also bought the same facial cream, but it doesn’t look as delicate as Langfei’s.
I don't know if she secretly uses another formula.
Li Guipin thought with a little bit of pettiness.
At this time, a palace maid hurried in from outside the palace, with a smile on her face. She bowed to the two ladies first, and then told them the news she had heard.
"Your Majesty, the maid we sent outside the Lianrui Palace just came back to report that Concubine Lian has packed everything and is now on her way to Chonghua Palace."
The palace maid was a maid from Yuxiu Palace. She had known in advance that her queen would be in attendance, so she naturally told the news with a smile.
When Si Linglong heard this, she clapped her hands and happily rushed to Li Guipin's side. Her elegant and graceful demeanor disappeared instantly, and she looked smug instead, "I won!"
Xue Sha on the side also cheered.
If Linglong wins, then she wins, and the gold is saved.
Xue Sha will also be attending the banquet today. Perhaps to show her special status, Xue Sha is wearing a small palace dress of the same color and pattern as Si Linglong, but with a slight difference in the style of the dress.
But at first glance, it is just a three-headed Si Linglong.
In the palace, there are many rules to follow when attending a banquet, and the most taboo thing is wearing the same clothes as others, especially if a person of lower rank wears the same clothes as someone of higher rank, as that is disrespectful.
For example, the clothes Si Linglong wore today, the other concubines had already found out about it and avoided her.
As for those who wore the same clothes as Xue Sha, not much was said about it. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these were deliberately made to be parent-child outfits. One was for fun, and the other was to elevate Xue Sha's status, lest the royal family would look down on her by thinking that she was just a little orphan fostered in the palace.
Of course, Xue Shan didn't know about all the twists and turns behind this. She just simply liked this dress very much.
The same clothes as Linglong.
She has never tried parent-child outfits.
At that moment, Xue Sha, who was wearing a short indigo shirt, happily jumped to Si Linglong's feet and jumped with her. The two of them, one tall and one short, were like a pair of treasures.
Xue Sha, the little villager, was obviously as proud as Ling Long at this moment, "There is gold."
Li Guipin looked at the two people, one big and one small, in front of her, her mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's just a little gold, there's no point in being so happy about it.
Then I saw Xiuliu standing next to me quickly opening a booklet hidden in her sleeve, flipping through it, and starting to count money as if no one was around.
People in Yuxiu Palace were so happy that it seemed as if they were celebrating New Year in advance. In other palaces, the Queen Mother, Helian Yue, Concubine Quan, and even Yuan Zun also knew the result of the gamble almost at the same time.
Although the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with Si Linglong's educational methods because of Xue Sha's previous behavior, she even called him over to scold him.
But the Queen Mother still felt an unusual sense of novelty about the first time someone invited her to place a bet.
So even though she reprimanded Si Linglong for teaching her child badly, she still let someone take the gold ingots.
I heard that Concubine Lian had left for Chonghua Palace, and I felt a little dissatisfied.
"You are too sick to get out of bed, so why are you joining in the fun?" Empress Dowager Sheng said, shaking her head and sighing, "You are really ignorant."
Jin Xin, who was standing by, laughed out loud when she heard the Queen Mother's mumbling.
This is because the Queen Mother has bet that Concubine Lian will not attend the palace banquet.
Logically speaking, since there was such a gamble in the palace, and the Queen Mother had bet on Concubine Lian not to go to the palace banquet, if it were someone more sensible, even if they were healthy at the moment, they would have to find an excuse not to go to the palace banquet, so as not to cause the Queen Mother to lose the gamble.
But on the one hand, Bai Qianqian had been imprisoned for some time, and she had already felt disheartened by the attitudes of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, so she had no choice but to give up. On the other hand, she had her own plans, so she naturally could not let herself be wronged because of the Empress Dowager's amusement.
Besides, the Queen Mother detained her and prevented her from attending the palace banquet.
The emperor has detained her to participate.
At this time, it is useless to follow anyone's wishes. It is better to just play dumb and pretend that you know nothing.
As for Helian Yue, he didn't care much about Bai Qianqian's attendance. After hearing the result, he just asked someone to pass on the message that the won gold should be left with Xuesha and there was no need to send it back.
Although Xue Sha had not originally thought about returning the won gold to Helian Yue, he happily agreed when he heard the palace maid say so.
The remaining Concubine Quan also bet that she would not go, but the bad guy Yuanzun bet that he would go, which meant that he had to give the gold that Yuanzun won to the other party.
Xue Sha thought about the villain's usual pretentious demeanor, and it was obvious that he regarded money as dirt. He then said to Xiu Liu in a childish voice,
"The bad guy's gold is also kept. He doesn't want it."
Xiu Liu nodded blankly.
He glanced silently at his booklet.
So that's the calculation.
That pile of gold is still my young lady's gold, so I don't even need to move it...
So, what is the point of these masters opening the gambling market?
Just to build a small mountain of gold for your little lady? ? ?
