280 Foil, Ninth Prince, you are a bad guy
The Ninth Prince is gone, but the lotus flowers are still there. How can I ruin my mood of enjoying the flowers just because of the Ninth Prince?
Feng Qingchen stole a half-day of leisure from her busy life. She put aside the possibility that the Ninth Prince might be angry and leisurely admired the flowers. The Ninth Prince's boat had not gone far yet, so Feng Qingchen unceremoniously called the boat back.
Shuttled among the green lotus leaves, Feng Qingchen in a bright red dress was more beautiful than the lotus. Her bright and carefree smile and bell-like laughter made people want to treasure her and hold up a sky for her so that she could keep this happiness and worry-freeness forever.
The servant rowing the boat couldn't help laughing. Feng Qingchen's laughter was very contagious.
The Ninth Prince was sitting on the observation deck, and by coincidence he saw the entire scene. His fingers gripping the wine glass loosened, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
The eunuch who was serving also laughed, and diligently stepped forward to pour wine for the Ninth Prince. He sincerely wanted to say a few words of praise, but when he saw that the Ninth Prince's eyes were fixed on Feng Qingchen, he thought better of it.
"Go, have someone prepare some snacks, and arrange for the people from the music studio to go over there." The Ninth Prince vaguely heard Feng Qingchen picking lotus flowers while saying, "It would be even better if someone played a song and prepared some snacks."
"Yes." The eunuch hurried down to make arrangements, but he thought to himself: As expected, the Ninth Prince likes people, and he likes everything they do.
You should know that the Ninth Prince treasures the lotus flowers in this pond. The elegant fragrance of the lotus is one of the rare flower scents that the Ninth Prince is not allergic to. In addition, the lotus is the gentleman among flowers, so the Ninth Prince's favorite flower is the lotus.
The lotus flowers in this pond are carefully tended by the people in the Ninth Prince's Palace. Looking around Dongling, there are no lotus flowers anywhere else as beautiful as those here by the Ninth Prince.
Normally, anyone who wanted to enjoy the flowers could only look at them from the viewing platform. The Ninth Prince would never allow anyone to go to the lotus pond, not even the Emperor and Empress. But now...
Miss Feng not only went boating in the lotus pond, but also picked lotus flowers directly.
I have to say that Miss Feng is a really weird person. Normally, when a lady enjoys flowers, which one would pick or destroy them? But Miss Feng did just that. She was so graceful and elegant that it was hard to hate her. Well, the most important thing was that the Ninth Prince didn't hate her, so no one else dared to hate her either.
Soon, Feng Qingchen heard the sound of a zither. Feng Qingchen didn't understand what was being played, but listening to this elegant sound while boating on the lake made people feel soothed and all the heat disappeared...
Feng Qingchen spent the entire afternoon soaking in the lotus pond. The Ninth Prince stayed with her from a distance for half an hour and then left.
He is not Feng Qingchen and is not so leisurely. Since he is inviting people to dinner tonight, some things need to be prepared in advance. Although this is a banquet he has worked hard on, he must get something in return for his time.
Since the emperor does not want Xiling Yaohua to marry Dongling Ziluo, as her younger brother, of course he will fulfill his brother's wish.
His food is not tasty!
Everyone in the entire villa was busy, except Feng Qingchen, who was leisurely covering her face with a lotus leaf and sleeping comfortably under the leaf. When the servants woke her up, she found that it was almost dark.
Looking at the wrinkled clothes, Feng Qingchen was embarrassed: "Where is my maid?" She had no idea what to do with these ancient clothes. At this time, she had to look forward to her two omnipotent maids. It seemed that she always had a spare set of clothes in her carriage, but she didn't know if it was still there.
The servants in the Ninth Prince's mansion were as serious as the Ninth Prince. They bowed and said, "Don't worry, Miss Feng. I have prepared your clothes. Please go and wash and change."
How could the Ninth Prince allow Feng Qingchen to wander around the villa wearing the clothes prepared by Wang Jinling? It would be easy to get clothes dirty while boating and admiring the flowers, and Feng Qingchen was quite cooperative. She slept with such a young man and made her clothes look unsightly.
So, the clothes and jewelry that the Ninth Prince had prepared in advance came in handy.
Feng Qingchen had not expected the twists and turns here. When attending a flower party or something, if your clothes get dirty, the host will arrange for servants to change you into a new set of clothes. After all, if a guest shows up in dirty clothes, it will not only embarrass himself, but also the host.
As for the body shape issue you mentioned, that is not a problem at all. Nowadays, thinness is considered beautiful among noble ladies. Everyone is very thin. It doesn't matter if you are taller or shorter. The length of the skirt can be adjusted. There are not many people as beautiful and graceful as Feng Qingchen, but she can wear ordinary clothes. Most skirts are wide.
Feng Qingchen handed the lotus in her hand to the maid: "Help me raise it, I will take it away later."
The Feng Mansion was very small, not to mention a pond, there wasn't even a rockery garden. There was absolutely no chance to enjoy the flowers in the Feng Mansion, so she planned to take the lotus back with her and take good care of it so that she could enjoy it for a few more days.
The two maids were stunned. Oh my God, someone actually picked the Ninth Prince’s lotus flowers. What should they do?
At Feng Qingchen's urging, the maid took the lotus in a daze, nodded, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
…
The clothes that the Ninth Prince prepared for Feng Qingchen were completely different from the one she was wearing.
The red dress that Wang Jinling prepared was just like the one Feng Qingchen wore at the poetry meeting, with wide sleeves, a loose waist, and a streamlined skirt. It was simple and casual, with the skirt fluttering as she walked, elegant and unrestrained, free and natural, vaguely resembling the style of a noble lady from the previous dynasty.
The Ninth Prince prepared a sky blue palace dress with intricate floral decorations, which was exquisite and noble. Even a single sleeve showed that a lot of effort had been put into it.
There were seven pieces in total, including inner garments, middle garments, outer garments and pullovers, stacked up in layers. Feng Qingchen was overwhelmed by the sight. Wearing so many clothes in such a hot day would surely heat him to death.
But when he put it on, he found that the material of the clothes was cool and refreshing to the skin, and it was even more comfortable to wear. Feng Qingchen sighed again, no wonder everyone wants to be powerful, it is really good to be powerful.
Different clothes need to be matched with different hair accessories and makeup. The complicated palace dress with Lingyun bun and golden step-shaking hairpins is definitely not acceptable. This bun cannot weigh down the formal dress. The maid took apart Feng Qingchen's bun, loosened it, and combed it again.
I have to say that the professionalism of maids these days is comparable to that of modern professionals. Feng Qingchen didn't even feel the pain of her hair being pulled before she found that her bun was combed.
Feng Qingchen didn't know what this bun was called, she only knew it was very beautiful, exquisite, and complicated. When the maid put the matching hair accessories on it, Feng Qingchen felt that the self in the mirror was completely different from usual.
Noble and elegant, beautiful and dignified, the corseted palace dress shows off her perfect figure.
Is this her? When did she become so noble and graceful?
Feng Qingchen couldn't believe what she saw until the maid stepped forward and praised: "Miss Feng is naturally beautiful. She looks good no matter how she dresses. Miss Feng, please change into these soft-soled shoes. They are more comfortable for walking in the courtyard."
The maid knelt on the ground and changed Feng Qingchen's shoes. Before Feng Qingchen knew it, all the things that Wang Jinling had given her were taken off and replaced with those from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
From a wanton and flirtatious girl, she suddenly became a noble and dignified lady. Feng Qingchen was not used to it for a moment, until the maid helped her walk over and saw the Ninth Prince in a blue shirt under the candlelight, she finally reacted...
Oh...she has been plotted against by the Ninth Prince again. This time she can’t clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River!
