Chapter 67 Even wearing a sack is more beautiful than her
Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly: "You guys praised me for being extremely beautiful, then even if I wear a sack, I'll still be more beautiful than Lu Mingzhu. This color is too eye-catching, change to something more plain and elegant."
It was not that she intentionally avoided the limelight to accommodate Lu Mingzhu, but she no longer liked these gaudy clothes in this life. Look at those huge crabapple flowers, densely covering the entire skirt, which was really an eye-catcher.
Even if a major occasion requires heavy makeup, it is never like this.
"Miss, the old lady knows that you like bright colors, so she made a new one for you." Are you sure you don't want to think about it again?
The cloud covers the path that does not let the heart die.
"My grandmother made me a lot of new clothes. Let me pick the light purple one." Lu Xiang took a casual look and pointed at the purple skirt.
Yun Zha looked in the direction of Lu Xiang's finger and couldn't help but frown: "Isn't it too plain? There are no patterns at all."
What she wanted was a simple pattern. She really couldn't understand what her vision was in her previous life.
But then again, if she had good taste, she wouldn't have fallen for that scumbag Xiao Muheng.
Seeing that Lu Xiang insisted, Wu Yue picked up the light purple dress and put it on her.
The soft lavender silk fabric was embroidered with auspicious clouds in silver thread, with fine stitching and a faint sheen. The dress covered her feet, and the hem was clearly embroidered with gold edges, adding a touch of splendor.
There was a hint of laziness on her peach-like face, her long eyelashes slightly raised, her dark eyebrows forming a bright arc under the light, and her pair of dark pupils were rippling with bright light. She was truly beautiful and her delicate face was in unparalleled beauty.
Yun Zha looked at Lu Xiang like this and immediately smiled happily again. No matter how simple the dress was on her young lady, it could not conceal her elegance.
Suddenly I feel that this casual dress is more lethal than wearing full makeup.
"Let's go." Lu Xiang straightened his collar and said, "Let's go to Qinghui Court to find my sister-in-law."
"Ah?" Yun Zhe was stunned: "Aren't you going to Fuyuan Hall?"
Concubine Zhen held a banquet to entertain the female family members in Fuyuan Hall, and the invited guests arrived early.
During the day, the female family members mainly come, and only a few young masters who come with their mothers are entertained by Lu Chao. The male owners of each family will come at dinner time, and then Lu Youping, as the host, will appear.
The emperor came to Yangning City quietly, and Lu Youping naturally followed him back. Except for the eunuchs and guards who followed him closely, he was the only official in Yangning City who knew about this. Lu Youping was so excited that he suddenly had a sense of superiority that he was the emperor's confidant and others were not worthy of being valued by the emperor. He walked in a floating manner. If there was no banquet tonight, he would have stayed with the emperor all the way to eat, drink, and defecate to show his loyalty.
Lu Xiang walked out the door without looking back and said, "I'll go later." Anyway, it wasn't her that Zhenpin wanted to praise, and if she went earlier, she would just have to listen to that group of people's flattery, which would be tiring for her ears.
Wu Yue quickly followed up: "Miss, the old lady wants you to learn how to manage the household from her. This banquet hosted by the queen is a great opportunity."
The Fourth Young Miss has been so proud these days. If she continues to keep a low profile, who knows what kind of power the Empress will give her before returning to the palace. It will be difficult for the Old Lady to stop her then.
"The two aunts Su Wei and Fu Yue beside the queen are not just for show. With them around, grandma will let go. What can I do if I go? If I dare to say anything, I'll be surprised if Concubine Zhen doesn't eat me."
Now that Concubine Zhen is back, she has the final say in the Lu Mansion.
"The Fourth Miss is eyeing you with all her might. If you go too late, won't she find fault with you even more?" Yun Zha said.
"That's why I'm with my sister-in-law. Besides, there are many people here today, and the queen won't scold me in front of outsiders and embarrass herself." Lu Xiang said, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned in a different direction and went to the small kitchen.
No matter what you do, don’t forget to feed the whitebait.
Since the arrival of the White Tiger, the small kitchen in Qixiayuan has been stocked with raw meat every day, including pork, chicken, duck, goose or rabbit, and the variety of dishes changes every day.
Carrying the pork leg meat cut into large pieces, Lu Xiangle walked out of the yard happily.
Suddenly, a scream was heard outside the yard, accompanied by the sound of something falling.
Isn't that scream Lu Mingzhu?
Lu Xiang's face darkened immediately and he quickened his pace. As soon as he went out, he saw Lu Mingzhu and the maids behind her with pale faces in front of the big white simple house, and there were debris at their feet.
Ah Man held the rope with an innocent look on his face, confused by what had suddenly happened.
"You stupid girl, are you looking for death? You don't understand like a beast, don't you have a brain? You broke the thing given by the emperor, let me see how you will explain to Concubine Zhen." Huamei pointed at A'man and cursed in anger.
Ah Man glared at her, baring his teeth and angrily said, "It was obviously you who ran over here and didn't take the good stuff, so why are you blaming me?"
It’s so infuriating. Can the Fourth Miss just accuse people at will?
She just pulled Dabai out for relief as usual, without even untying the rope, and was right next to its house, so how did she bump into the Fourth Miss?
The road is so wide, why do you insist on squeezing this way? Are you sick?
"You dare to quibble." Huamei said gritting her teeth, and reached out to push Ah Man hard. However, Ah Man stood as steady as a rock. Instead, because she failed to push Ah Man down, she retreated due to inertia, and staggered a few steps before she could barely stand firm.
"Fourth sister is showing off her power in front of my door. Do you think you can bully me at will because you have Concubine Zhen's support?"
I've been staying at home recently, so do you think I'm a pushover?
Lu Mingzhu looked at Lu Xiang's gloomy face, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her expression, but she soon became arrogant again: "What are you talking about, Third Sister? It was your maid who was reckless with this beast and broke the pair of red jade bracelets that the empress gave me. My sisters were all waiting to see what happened. Now, it's not a good thing for my sister to break the things, but it's a serious crime to deliberately damage the gift from the emperor."
So what if she just bullies Lu Xiang?
Everyone knows that Concubine Zhen likes her. These days, people flatter her wherever she goes. Even Qin Shuyan has to avoid her when she sees her. So what does Lu Xiang count for?
"Third Miss, I didn't do that to Dabai. It was Fourth Miss who ran here and fell down herself." Ah Man looked at Lu Xiang aggrievedly and said.
Yunzha and Wuyue were dumbfounded. They naturally believed A'man's words more than Lu Mingzhu's.
But...why?
Yunzha and Wuyue didn't understand, but Lu Xiang saw a hint of calculation in Lu Mingzhu's jealous and twisted eyes. She sneered at Lu Mingzhu, her sparkling eyes full of sharpness: "Don't beat around the bush, tell me your purpose."
Lu Mingzhu felt as if her throat was being pinched by a pair of invisible fingers, making it difficult for her to breathe. However, she sneered and said, "How can you talk standing outside the door? Third sister, why don't you invite me in and have a seat?"
