Seeing that the birthday celebration day was just around the corner, Gu Yunru calmly cleaned up the house, waiting for Rong Zhen to show up.

"Princess, the prince's carriage is ready and waiting for you."

Qingxing stood obediently by the side. Gu Yunru chose a pomegranate red brocade cloak and exposed her slender hands generously. Qingxing stood by, holding a string of polished round red jade beads and putting them on her fair wrist.

She wore no makeup on her face because she did not want to steal anyone's limelight, but she used rouge to dye her lips red, which made her look even more charming and attractive. People could not help but stop and watch from afar, as if she was a red plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow.

"Why didn't the princess wear the Phoenix Coronet that the prince gave you?" Qing Xing whispered softly. Although she knew that the princess paid attention to comfort and simplicity in everything she wore, she would be showing up at Xie's house this time, and there must be many ministers in the court. The prince might not be happy if she wore such simple clothes.

"broken."

The words "simple and casual" frightened Qing Xing so much that her face turned pale. She quickly searched the box again, and sure enough, the pair of phoenix coronas were gone.

"Okay, aren't they just a pair of ordinary phoenix crowns? At worst, I can ask someone to make a pair for them later. Now I have to get on my way." Gu Yunru didn't take this matter to heart at all, so she got on Rong Zhen's carriage. The two of them sat in the carriage in silence, but Rong Zhen smelled a faint floral scent emanating from her. This scent was not pungent, but made people feel very comfortable.

"What kind of fragrance did you use on your clothes today?"

Rong Zhen looked at her fair and rosy face, which she quickly put on makeup before going out. It seemed that she did not take this banquet seriously. He felt a little annoyed, but she was particularly eye-catching. Even though she was simple, she was not gorgeous.

"Your Majesty has a very good nose. The fragrance on my body is the fragrance of melons and fruits."

Gu Yunru said to him complacently as the carriage drove all the way to Xie's house. There was a straight road with an end. At the door sat two mighty lions, with their bloody mouths wide open holding a huge moon pearl, shining brightly.

After getting off the carriage, looking at the huge goose-shaped plate hanging above my head, it seemed that the Xie Mansion was even more magnificent.

With the butler leading the way, they walked slowly along the narrow jade stone road. Looking at the graceful and slender branches along the way, Gu Yunru felt relaxed all over. The Xie Mansion was not as luxurious as she had imagined, but it was like falling into a sea of ​​clouds. The environment here was indeed warm and cozy. Xie Bingyan had already come to the main hall and was waiting for them.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw Xie Bingyan looking eagerly at me. She was only wearing a light pink slim dress. There was an alluring blush on the girl's cheeks, and the cuffs were embroidered with intricate falling petals in gold thread.

The pearl hairpin on her head set off her beautiful and delicate face. She raised her lips, and the hollow flower hairpins on both sides also had tassels. She walked to Rong Zhen and asked him to come and pay respects to his father. "Meet my father-in-law." Rong Zhen looked ahead and bowed.

Gu Yunru stood aside, her wide sleeves swaying gently in the wind.

"Your Highness Prince Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. It's a rare occasion that you come to wish me a happy birthday in person. My heart is filled with joy."

Gu Yunru looked at the great chancellor, who looked to be in his sixties, but whose eyes were still sparkling, whose temples were slightly gray, but whose voices were still firm and forceful. He must have pretended to look weak so that others would think he was a non-threatening person.

"What are you talking about, father-in-law?" Rong Zhen was rarely so polite. Gu Yunru saw that the two seemed to want to talk about something, so she winked at Xie Bingyan.

"Sister, sister, this is my first time in Xie's house, why don't you take me around for a walk?"

Gu Yunru was indeed curious about this place. The sparse and slanting shadows on the wall made people stop and look.

"Okay, then father, you can chat with His Highness first, and I will take my sister around for a walk."

Xie Bingyan said calmly and reasonably, so he said goodbye to his father and King Zhao, and took her to the blue brick road, and then he saw a small building with raised eaves and dense mountains all around. It seemed to include the mountains and rivers.

"Sister, there will be several noble ladies and young ladies gathering together later. Do you know what they will talk about?"

Xie Bingyan knew that she was a casual and wild person, and it was probably her first time to see such a lively occasion. As for what she would say, it was hard to say.

Gu Yunru's dark eyes seemed to reflect the broken moonlight. He turned around and slowly looked at her and smiled, "Then come with me later, sister. I have never seen those noble women."

Women are always the most troublesome, there is no doubt about that. She stood there, her posture like a fairy.

Not far away, the brothers Xie Changming and Xie Changyong were preparing for the birthday banquet. They accidentally saw their sister and a fairy-like woman through the bamboo forest.

"That woman was the one who insisted that my Gel Cream plagiarized her Herb Cream and caused a big commotion in my Sanchun Hall. But who is this woman?"

Xie Changyong looked at the woman with some confusion. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes today. Although she was plain, one could still see her noble and arrogant temperament. Her brilliant and flawless charm deeply seduced others.

"She is the famous Princess Zhao."

Xie Changming narrowed his deep eyes slightly, his face was as cold as an iceberg and his gaze was sharp.

"It seems that my brother has known her for a long time!" Xie Changyong looked at his brother's expression and suddenly felt a little dazed. Could it be that this dazzling woman had already seduced his soul? However, watching her standing on the stone steps and talking with her sister, her hair flying and her body cold and blue.

"Sister, it's windy here, let's go sit in the pavilion."

Xie Bingyan led her all the way to meet those noble ladies. The identities of these ladies were all noble and extraordinary.

"This is the wife of Minister Zhao, and this is the wife of Minister Zhang..." Xie Bingyan actually introduced them to her one by one. It seemed that she knew the identities of these people very well. It was a pity that Gu Yunru had no impression of the women here.

Gu Yunru saluted these people foolishly, but was laughed at by everyone. She looked at Xie Bingyan beside her in confusion and asked curiously, "Why are they laughing?" Xie Bingyan couldn't help but cover her lips to hide her smile and looked at her and said, "You are the princess, why are you saluting them?"

As soon as she said this, her whole face froze.

It’s not Xie Bingyan’s fault that she didn’t remind him in time, it’s just that she was too nervous and didn’t have the calm and relaxed atmosphere like her.

Xie Yihui on the other side looked at Rong Zhen in front of him, which made people feel uneasy.

"I didn't expect that there was such good tea hidden in my father-in-law's house."
