Chapter 105: It's not hers to touch

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the plum tasting banquet.

Xie Zhuoning got up early in the morning and put on her makeup.

When Song Yuqiu put on the dress with scattered flowers, water mist and stars, which was made day and night by top embroiderers, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Her clear and bright eyes seemed to reflect the bright moon, and the smile on her lips was as bright as the sunlight.

She just stood there, like a fairy walking out of a painting, even the surrounding scenery became dim and dull.

The gorgeous and beautiful dress not only did not suppress her beauty, but complemented it and became her most exquisite embellishment.

"Sister Zhuoning, you are so beautiful!" Song Yuqiu's eyes sparkled and he was drooling all over the floor.

Xie Zhuoning raised his hand and poked her head, chuckling, "You're not bad either."

Although she did not have stunning facial features, she had a narrow nose, almond-shaped eyes, and delicate features. She wore a bright red triple narcissus skirt with a belt around her slender waist, making her look like a peach in spring, extremely delicate.

Yinxuan even specially combed their hair into two fashionable hairstyles that matched their clothes. Even with simple pearl hairpins as embellishments, they were already beautiful beyond words.

The two of them stood together, like a pair of sisters.

Song Yuqiu sighed and said with regret, "What a pity, Sister Zhuoning, you can't show your true face to others."

Otherwise, she would definitely stand out from the crowd at the plum-tasting banquet!

Xie Zhuoning wore a human skin mask and smiled nonchalantly, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

She has always known that being in the spotlight is never a good thing.

If it wasn't for achieving her goal, she wouldn't have bothered to dress up so carefully today.

After everything was ready, the two set off in a carriage to the royal residence.

This time the Queen held a plum blossom banquet and invited many daughters of wealthy and noble families to join her.

Originally, Song Yuqiu, a concubine's daughter, was not among the invited guests, but who asked her to befriend Prince Xuan's concubine?

What's more, Xie Zhuoning's body was still very weak, and she had to take care of him all the time to feel at ease.

"Miss, we're here."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Royal Villa.

Song Yuqiu helped Xie Zhuoning and slowly got off the carriage.

Without waiting for the visiting card to be delivered, the eunuch guarding the door immediately came forward to greet him attentively.

"You two must be Madam Xu and Miss Song, right? Come in, please."

In the flower hall.

People were surrounding Xie Wanyin, praising her outfit today.

"Isn't this Yun Jinxuan's treasured robe? I heard that Marquis Zhao's wife refused to sell it even though she offered it 10,000 taels, saying it was the treasure of the store and not for sale. I didn't expect that you, Wan Yin, were so capable that you actually got it!"

"Look at the workmanship, the embroidery, and the gems inlaid on it. It is truly the treasure of Yunjinxuan. Which embroidery workshop can make such gorgeous and beautiful clothes?"

"Wan Yin, when can you lend me this magnificent dress? I will give you the red gold and ruby ​​hairpin my father gave me!"

Xie Wanyin smiled sweetly and covered her lips with the fan, being praised by everyone to the point of being ecstatic.

This Wanbao Huayi is the treasure of Yunjinxuan. When Xie Zhuoning was in Xie Mansion, she couldn't even touch a corner of the clothing.

But now that Xie Minglang has handed Yun Jinxuan over to her to manage, she can wear whatever she wants without any scruples.

"Huh? So many people!" Song Yuqiu didn't expect that the Queen would invite so many people for a simple plum-tasting banquet. As soon as she entered the flower hall, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

However, Xie Zhuoning on the side seemed not to hear what she said. He stared at Xie Wanyin with cold eyes, who was surrounded by many people in the center of the crowd.

Wanbao Huayi...

How dare she wear a Marble dress!

The reason why Wanbao Huayi is the treasure of Yunjinxuan is not only because the dress is embellished with gems and is expensive, but also because this dress is a relic left by her mother.

The Xie family used to be very poor. Old Lady Xie had to support two brothers through their studies alone and was often short of money.

Her father would fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, and he would make excuses saying that he didn't like studying and wanted to work as a farmhand for rich families.

As a result, because he was so handsome, his mother took a fancy to him.

Her mother was the daughter of a merchant. She married into the Xie family with a large dowry, and only then did the Xie family's life begin to improve.

This Yunjinxuan was created by her mother with great effort.

This exquisite dress was also sewed by her mother stitch by stitch.

When she was little, her mother often hugged her and said, "When Ningning gets married, I'll put this dress at the bottom of the box for you as a dowry. You can take it out and wear it when you need to show off. If you're short of money, you can take it apart and sell it for money. It kills two birds with one stone. Do you think your mother is smart?"

Xie Zhuoning could no longer remember how he answered, because even the familiar voice and appearance had long since become blurred.

But this magnificent dress was something her mother left for her, and Xie Wanyin had no right to touch it!

"Let's go." Xie Zhuoning raised his head, took Song Yuqiu's hand, and took the initiative to walk into the crowd.

As expected, their arrival instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh my god, what beautiful clothes!"

"The bright and clear spring water makes one forget the mundane world when seeing it, forget the mundane world when seeing it!"

"That's right. When I wear that dress, I look like a fairy. It's not like that gorgeous dress, which is covered with gems all over the body. It looks gorgeous, but the style and pattern are so ugly."

Xie Wanyin was enjoying everyone's praise, but when he heard this, his brows furrowed and he quickly raised his eyes to look at the person who came.

She knew the person on the left. Wasn't she the crazy concubine sister Song Yuqiu from Song Yuyao's family?

The person on the right looked unfamiliar. She thought about it carefully and was sure that there was no such person in the capital. Her eyes suddenly became contemptuous.

"This dress is just so-so. Our Yunjinxuan is the most famous clothing shop in the capital. What beautiful styles can't we make? Any dress we make will be better than theirs."

"Only those who have no taste and vision would like such flashy things."

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Although they felt in their hearts that the clothes of those two people were more beautiful than the Wanbaohua dress that Xie Wanyin was wearing.

But if I open my mouth now, wouldn't it prove that I have "no taste and no vision"?

Seeing this, Song Yuqiu whispered in Xie Zhuoning's ear, "How come your second sister is even more annoying than the one in my family?"

No wonder Xie Wanyin and Song Yuyao can play together, it really is true that birds of a feather flock together.

Xie Wanyin was not in a hurry, because she calculated the time and someone should be arriving soon.

"Oh? I just heard someone say that people who like fancy things are tasteless and have no vision?"

The sound arrives before the person arrives.

Everyone looked up and saw Princess Yunheng walking towards them in a colorful robe.

When it comes to being flashy, who can be as flashy as she is?

But it is really beautiful, as if a mixture of chaotic colors bursts out with gorgeous and bright beauty.

It is extremely powerful and dazzling.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up!
