In the side courtyard of Hui Nuan Pavilion.
As Lin Shuang listened to the sounds of fireworks outside and the laughter of Ji Fengyao, Xi Que, Bai Lu, and Hu Ji on the rooftop, her gaze gradually sharpened as she looked at the lotus-white dress that had been prepared in front of her.
This was a birthday gift she had prepared herself for the bandit;
But now, those bandits are not worthy!
Lin Shuang took out scissors from her storage ring and cut the dress in front of her into shreds.
Suddenly, her divine sense swept across a corner of the storage ring and saw several sets of beautifully embroidered bright red clothes. A meaningful smile appeared on her lips.
She took out the set of clothes embroidered with peach blossoms, which she originally intended to give to Hei Xiao but he refused. Lin Shuang began to cut and alter the clothes to fit Ji Fengyao's size.
The inclusion of Princess Chonghe in the imperial family genealogy is a major event for the royal family.
However, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress had no good intentions. They simply followed the rules and had the ancestral hall matrons come to receive them. There was nothing ostentatious arranged in the palace.
But the next morning, before dawn;
Hundreds of guards and servants poured out of the Ninth Prince's mansion, some laying out red carpets, some hanging lanterns, and others decorating with colorful decorations. In less than an hour, the main street from the Ninth Prince's mansion to the palace gate was all decorated.
When the people got up and went out, they found the streets decorated in a grand and festive manner. They thought it was decorated by people from the palace and couldn't help but marvel at the bandit's good fortune.
The marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, and now she has also gained the favor and recognition of the Ninth Prince!
Once she is officially included in the royal family genealogy, she will no longer be a vulgar and lowly bandit, but a royal noblewoman!
The concubines in the mansion were also alarmed.
Qian Yingying was alright. Knowing she couldn't beat Ji Fengyao, she clung to Ji Fengyao's coattails from the start and even received a promise from Ji Fengyao that she would be freed in the future and married in a grand ceremony.
Therefore, she now only cares about eating and drinking well every day, living a carefree and happy life.
Princess Zhaoping and Xi Ningchang, however, were bitter to the core:
What kind of bewitching potion did the bandits give the prince?
Even though the prince is not in the capital, he still takes such meticulous care of the bandit; fearing that the bandit might lose face, he specially asked Zhou Fu to make such a big show of it.
Think about the treatment they received when they entered the mansion.
It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others!
After Ji Fengyao finished breakfast, Lin Shuang brought over the bright red dress that she had altered overnight. She placed her hands on her forehead, knelt down, and said, "This servant wishes Your Highness a happy birthday. This is my birthday gift to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will accept it with a smile."
Ji Fengyao looked at the clothes with their fine stitches and lifelike flowers and leaves. She was deeply moved. It was impossible to make such a delicate garment without a lot of effort and thought.
At least, this girl was sincere in making this outfit.
"You're so thoughtful," Ji Fengyao said, her tone softening slightly. "Bailu, take this outfit with you. Today is a joyous occasion, and the color of this outfit is festive too. You might find it useful."
Lin Shuang's heart stirred upon hearing this, and a smile appeared on her lips. She seized the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, I used to handle these matters. Today is different from usual. I'm afraid Bai Lu might make mistakes due to unfamiliarity with the process. Let me take charge of these matters instead."
“No need,” Ji Fengyao said directly. “Jade must be carved to become a useful object. She will eventually grow up and be able to stand on her own. This is also a good opportunity for Bailu to gain experience.”
She was moved by the outfit, but not enough to forgive.
Moreover, today's events are enough to affect her life and fortune, so she absolutely cannot have any untrustworthy people around her!
