Full of anticipation, Zhuang Zhenmeng watched the maids in the Zhuang mansion move items into her room one by one.
These items were the betrothal gifts sent to the Zhuang Mansion by the palace last time. Zhuang Zhenmeng found it a little strange because the people in the Zhuang Mansion seemed to have no interest in these betrothal gifts at all. Moreover, these betrothal gifts were all wrapped in black cloth into a square shape and finally sealed with red paper.
Zhuang Zhenmeng didn't know what these betrothal gifts were. All she could see now was the bright red wedding gown spread out on her bed and the gold and silver jewelry that matched it.
By the way, those jewellery are really gorgeous!
Zhuang Zhenmeng originally wanted to try on the jewelry, but a maid suddenly rushed in. In her haste, she knocked over the betrothal gifts placed beside the bed, and one of the boxes even rolled under the bed.
The maid didn't expect to scare Zhuang Zhenmeng, so she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss. I...I didn't mean it."
"Okay, you go out first!"
She wanted to send the maid away, but she said, "Miss, I was ordered by the master to come and accompany you for one night. I can't leave!"
To say "accompany" actually means to monitor, because tonight is the most critical moment. Zhuang Tianming always has an ominous premonition. He feels that Zhuang Zhenmeng's entry into the palace tomorrow may not be so smooth.
Zhuang Zhenmeng naturally didn't know what Zhuang Tianming was thinking. She thought this was the rule before a concubine entered the palace. However, she saw the box of betrothal gifts fall under the bed, and she had to pick it up before anyone found out.
"uh-huh……"
Clearing her throat, Zhuang Zhenmeng pretended to say to the maid, "You can accompany me, but I need to change my clothes. Come back later."
The maid immediately asked nervously: "Miss, you still want to change clothes at this time, don't tell me you want to go out?"
"Of course not. You must wear something comfortable to sleep. The clothes I'm wearing now are too tight. It won't allow me to sleep."
"Why don't we let Lvliu help the young lady change her clothes?"
Zhuang Zhenmeng glanced at the maid named Lvliu and said impatiently, "I don't need you to take care of this kind of thing. Don't I have hands or feet?"
After being yelled at by Zhuang Zhenmeng, Lvliu was so frightened that she retreated to the door. She whispered, "Okay, Miss, I'll wait for you outside. Once you've changed your clothes, I'll come in then."
"Get out of here now, seriously, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Zhuang Zhenmeng almost pushed Lvliu out of the door with force. After closing the door tightly, she lay on the ground and looked under the bed.
However, the light from the bed was too dim, and the box containing the betrothal gift was black, so Zhuang Zhenmeng couldn't determine the direction of the box at once. She had to use a wooden stick to stir the bottom of the bed randomly.
After stirring for a while, the wooden stick in Zhuang Zhenmeng's hand finally touched something like a box, and she immediately picked the box out with force.
However, perhaps too much force was used, and when the box was picked out from under the bed, the red paper on it cracked.
Zhuang Zhenmeng was already curious about what kind of betrothal gift she would receive. When she saw that the box could be opened, she lifted the lid. However, when she saw what was inside the box, she froze in disbelief.
After a long moment, Zhuang Zhenmeng whispered to herself, "How is this possible? How could there be paper clothes and pants in this box? This must be a mistake, absolutely!"
