It was truly chilling to the bone.
Because of Chu Pingyao, Rong Ning felt a sense of anticipation for tonight's family dinner. "Aying... prepare some hot water for me. I need to get ready to meet my future sister-in-law!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ah Ying happily went downstairs to run errands.
Soon, everything was ready, and Rong Ning soaked in the hot water, feeling much more comfortable all over.
"Your Highness... what clothes will you be wearing later?" A-Ying asked from the side.
"Just a dress from an ordinary girl's family..."
When Rong Ning first met Miss Chu, she didn't want to dress too fiercely and scare her away.
After all, her reputation is really bad.
When Ah Ying heard that she wanted to wear a skirt, her eyes lit up and she quickly told someone to prepare it.
Rong Ning used to live in Zhaoqing Palace. Although she didn't live there for long, Rong Yang prepared everything she needed, including clothes of all styles.
Aying didn't dare to make a decision for her, so she took out six sets of dresses and placed them in front of Rong Ning, asking her to choose. "Your Highness... I heard from the head maid in Zhaoqing Palace that these dresses are all fashionable styles. The Imperial Concubine had them prepared beforehand. Your Highness, please take a look and see which one you like?"
Rong Ning opened her eyes and glanced at it, then lazily closed them again. "Let's go with the white one."
Aying frowned. "Your Highness, white is too plain. Tonight is a family dinner. Why don't you choose something more festive?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just the white one!" Rong Ning said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Aying touched her nose and resignedly put the new one on her.
She was the last to arrive; even the emperor, who was in a high position, had been there for quite some time. Rong Ning rarely wore a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), so when she came to the banquet hall in this outfit, everyone unconsciously looked up at her.
They looked at it like it was something new and exciting.
This made Rong Ning very uncomfortable.
If she had known it would have this effect, she would have preferred to wear it as usual, at least she would be more comfortable.
Rong Ning was irritated. She bowed to the emperor on the high throne and then sat down in her own seat.
Because it was a family dinner, there were no separate tables.
Rong Ning sat below the Crown Prince, and to Rong Ning's left was Chu Pingyao.
The placement of this location is absolutely brilliant.
This was the first time Rong Ning felt superfluous.
