Chapter 475 Dining at the Same Table as the Princess
“Miss, we can’t let ourselves be outdone today. We can’t be short of these hairpins, or we should add a few more.”
Ning Bao: ".............."
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he resembled a walking peddler.
"Leng Xue, how about this, you take all this mess down for me. I remember my mother and aunt bought me a whole set of jewelry, didn't they?"
Let's just find an outfit that matches our clothes today and wear it.
As Ning Bao spoke, she took out many sets of headwear from her storage talisman.
She carefully observed and found the simplest and lightest set.
"Just this one..."
Leng Xue opened her mouth, wanting to say that this outfit was too simple and not luxurious enough, but when she saw Ning Bao's gaze, she quickly shut her mouth.
With this outfit, Ning Bao immediately captured the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.
Although Ningbao has been in Mocheng for the past few years, she has not attended a formal school.
However, as a proper young princess of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, she did not miss any courses, and she studied everything, including etiquette, literature, the struggles of the inner quarters, and both literary and military strategies.
Although Ningbao is only nine years old, she has learned everything a well-bred young lady should learn. Except for her handwriting, which is not very good, Ningbao has learned everything else very well.
After a busy morning, Ningbao was exhausted and her back ached. Looking at the rich young ladies sitting in the hall, she saw that they were all young but pretentious.
She made an excuse to hide in the side room, thinking about how to escape and take a break.
Su Jingshu, who was entertaining the wives of various families alongside Madam Su, came over.
"Are you tired after a busy morning?"
Ningbao rubbed her lower back.
"Mother, my face hurts from laughing. These people all seem to be masked people."
Moreover, these ladies and young women, who appear so delicate and frail, some of them actually have a history of murder.
Su Jingshu affectionately ruffled the top of her head.
"Silly child, how many wealthy families have clean backyards?"
A man's battlefield is one of swords and shadows, while a woman's battlefield is one of intrigue and backstabbing.
The struggle for power in the inner quarters has always been like this.
Ning Bao was a little puzzled.
"But neither my uncle's family nor our family has this problem."
"Do you think everyone is as family-oriented as your father and uncle? You're nine years old now, and in a few more years you'll be old enough to be looking for a partner."
"What your mother wants to tell you is that when choosing a husband, you shouldn't only look at his appearance; family traditions are also very important."
"Your father and uncle aren't ugly either."
"Mom, getting married is too tiring. Ningbao doesn't want to get married."
Ning Bao muttered something under her breath, and then immediately decided to give up.
Su Jingshu lightly tapped Ningbao's forehead.
"Alright, you're still young, so don't worry about these things now. Your mother can't bear to let you get married so early."
If you're tired, you don't need to go to the main hall. I'll take care of things here later. Your aunt is worried her daughter-in-law might go hungry, so she wants you to bring food to your cousin's wife.
Upon hearing that she was going to deliver food to Yunfei, she immediately nodded excitedly.
"Don't worry, Mother, I'll go and bring my cousin's meal right away."
Yunfei was already hungry in the bridal chamber, while Wenrou, as a distinguished guest from her family who had accompanied her to the wedding, was eating at the banquet with the female guests.
Yunfei summoned her dowry maid.
"Xiao Cui, I'm hungry. Go find me something to eat."
Xiao Cui looked troubled.
“Miss, Madam said that I should keep an eye on you today. The young master is not allowed to eat anything before entering the bridal chamber.”
Yunfei was stunned for a moment.
