Shen Yuhan's face suddenly darkened. He flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Alright, I'll just take it as my meddling. You'll be fine."
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.
The wooden door behind him slammed with a loud noise, and it was obvious that Shen Yuhan was not in a happy mood.
Fang Qingyue fell back on the bed, staring at the thick bed curtains, but she was actually distracted.
In fact, she mentioned this matter to Shen Yuhan in the hope that Shen Yuhan could help her.
If you are going to a banquet hosted by the imperial concubine, you naturally cannot dress too poorly.
However, her father had been an official for so many years and had always been incorruptible. He had never been corrupt and even used his salary to support poor scholars and help them with their studies.
The Fang family was just barely making ends meet. Although they hired a few cooks and servants, how could they compare to the wealth of other officials?
Now that the Fang family has been accused of a crime, all that is left is this dilapidated old house.
Apart from that, there is really nothing left.
How could she find suitable clothes to attend the party?
Fang Qingyue was so worried that she didn't sleep well the whole night. She planned to go to the clothing store the next day.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I saw Shen Yuhan standing outside, followed by several maids.
Shen Yuhan was originally planning to knock on the door, but when he saw Fang Qingyue's dark blue eyes, his fingers couldn't help but move, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
"Come in first. I've had some clothes prepared for you. See if they're suitable."
He had someone prepare a common light gauze shirt, which was neither so good as to make people think Fang Qingyue was living too well, nor so good as to make her lose face at the banquet hosted by the imperial concubine.
Fang Qingyue changed into one of them. The goose yellow shirt made her face look even more beautiful, and the size was just right.
She twisted her clothes left and right, letting Shen Yuhan see clearly how the Luoshan looked on her. Then she smiled and said, "This one will do. You can take the rest back with you."
"It's better for you all to stay in your house." Shen Yuhan said calmly, "Since the imperial concubine invited you once, she will definitely find excuses to let you into the palace from time to time in the future. If you dress inappropriately, it will hurt my face."
"Okay, I knew that adults are the best." Fang Qingyue said with a smile, having put her mind at ease.
"Don't give me that." Shen Yuhan raised his hand to stop Fang Qingyue's actions.
If Fang Qingyue had not been so insistent, he would never have allowed Fang Qingyue to enter the palace.
"Tomorrow is the banquet, so let Chuntao stay at your house and be responsible for your makeup."
"You must be extra careful once you enter the palace. People in the palace are fickle and much more chaotic than in the capital. I will go and wait for you in advance."
"I know." Fang Qingyue smiled faintly, "I will pay more attention."
The next morning, Fang Qingyue got up early and dressed.
Just after the hour of Si, a palace maid knocked on the door: "Miss Fang, the Imperial Concubine knows that you are currently unable to move around easily, so she has specially ordered this servant to come and fetch you. Please come with me into the palace."
She walked out of the courtyard, locked the door, and got into the carriage with the help of the palace servants.
It must be said that the palace carriage was truly magnificent. The interior of the carriage was like a small chamber, with a variety of seasonal fruits placed on the table.
Fang Qingyue had no intention of eating the fruit. She just looked outside the carriage through the curtains.
The street became wider and wider, finally stopping outside the palace gate. A palace attendant said calmly, "Miss Fang, it's time to enter the palace."
She stepped out of the carriage, stepped down on the footstool, and looked up at the palace gate in front of her.
The towering palace gate stood before her, with snow-white railings and walls above it.
The morning light shone on the palace gate, bringing a faint glow. Fang Qingyue was stunned for a moment before following the palace maid into the palace.
After entering the palace, there is another long palace road.
Through the thick palace walls, one cannot see any scenery outside the palace.
Fang Qingyue couldn't stop looking around, but a clear but disgusted voice came from behind her: "What are you looking at, country bumpkin?"
She was slightly startled and turned to look.
The person in front of him was wearing a bright red dress and had a bright and flamboyant appearance. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes stared straight at Fang Qingyue, with disdain written all over them.
She looked away, pretending not to notice the woman's malicious intent.
As she turned and walked forward, she heard someone stomping their feet behind her, with a hint of exasperation in their voice. "What did she mean by that? Does she look down on me?"
The palace maid's soothing voice came from behind her: "Miss Chu, don't worry, she is just the daughter of a criminal, no one will look down on her."
Even so, Chu Qingqing was still not satisfied.
Last name Chu?
Fang Qingyue thought of the current general Chu Yunsheng and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She said nothing and continued forward under the guidance of the palace servants, finally stepping into the imperial garden.
Many children from aristocratic families have already arrived in the Imperial Garden.
When they saw Fang Qingyue coming, they all curled their lips and had no intention of talking to her.
Fang Qingyue's own identity was awkward, so she just huddled in the corner and quietly watched everything in the imperial garden.
After a while, the imperial concubine appeared in the imperial garden.
She was dressed in luxurious clothes and her head was adorned with jade hairpins and pearls, making her look particularly noble.
The gold and red color combination of his clothes makes him look particularly luxurious.
She looked up in the imperial garden, her eyes fell on Fang Qingyue who was sitting in the corner, and then she walked towards this direction.
Walking up to Fang Qingyue, she smiled and said, "Why don't you go sit at the banquet, but stay here instead?"
Fang Qingyue was somewhat flattered by the familiar look.
However, she knew that Shen Yuhan was quite hostile to the Imperial Concubine, probably because the Imperial Concubine was not as friendly as she appeared to be, so she just responded: "I am the daughter of a criminal, and I should not be here."
"Oh? So you think that I made a mistake in inviting you here?" The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyebrows, which were outlined very thinly, looked a bit mean.
"I dare not." Fang Qingyue lowered her head and said softly, "Your Highness is willing to invite me into the palace, which shows that you are kind-hearted. But I am a person of special status after all..."
"Nothing." The imperial concubine smiled and comforted her, "You will sit next to me later and see who dares to offend you."
The imperial concubine had already spoken, and Fang Qingyue could only smile in response.
During lunch, the seat arranged for her by the palace servants was indeed next to the imperial concubine.
Although there were two tables, the distance between them was not far, as if the imperial concubine could touch her by just raising her hand.
"This is Fang Qingyue, the daughter of Lord Fang Xifu. I heard that she is now a famous doctor in the capital. Her skillful hands can make rotten bones revive. Come, Qingyue, say hello to everyone." The imperial concubine said with a smile, holding the gold and jade wine cup in her hand.
Fang Qingyue raised her eyes and met the gaze of the woman she had just met.
She looked at Fang Qingyue viciously, her eyes full of jealousy, as if Fang Qingyue had taken away something that belonged to her.
Fang Qingyue frowned slightly, then adjusted her expression and said calmly, "Your Highness, I'm too kind to ask you to do me a favor. I only have a little knowledge of medicine, so I'm not up to par with anyone."
