Wei Shuwan knew there must be another reason for this, so she didn't dodge and let the light rain fall on her.
Sure enough, the little maid who was sprinkling water with leaves smiled and said, "Miss, this is pomelo leaf water, which can ward off bad luck and bring good fortune. Why don't you use it to wash your hands?"
Wei Shuwan didn't stand on ceremony. She scooped up a handful of pomelo leaf water and splashed it on her face, washing her hands and face, which had been covered in mud and grime for several days, clean. Then she took the dry towel handed to her by the maid behind her and carefully dried herself.
The three maids holding basins, leaves, and handkerchiefs, along with Ziqiao and Miaoxiang, surrounded Wei Shuwan. They were worried that she would catch a cold if she got wet and was exposed to the wind. But when Wei Shuwan moved the handkerchief away from her face, the eyes of the five of them lit up at the same time.
They had seen their daughter's radiant beauty so often that they were no longer surprised. Just like a peony, no matter how beautiful it is, you can't find anything special about it after staring at it for a long time.

Miao Xiang pursed her lips and didn't reply, while Zi Qiao nodded: "It's the young prince. Two hours ago, the young prince sent someone to the Sheng residence to inform us. After we returned, we rushed to clean and sweep each courtyard, but due to the short time, many corners have not yet been cleaned."
"So you still have time to prepare all this stuff?" Wei Shuwan joked.
Zi Qiao smiled mischievously: "The master has been wronged for no reason, so we should at least wish for a good omen~"
"Did you remove the seal as well?"
This time, Zi Qiao paused for a moment and didn't speak. Wei Shuwan looked at Miao Xiang again, but Miao Xiang still pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to meet her gaze.
"Is it the young prince? He came in person?" Wei Shuwan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
