Chapter 95 Give me makeup
The eighth day of May is Princess Xiqing's 15-year-old birthday. It is said that on such a day, the host invites only close relatives, elders, or virtuous female guests. Lin Shuran thought that maybe because of Princess Xiqing's special status , so the palace will be more grand.

It's just that I seemed to have offended Princess Qing last time, why did she post a post for herself?I don't know how her health is now, are the prescriptions I gave to Dr. Mei useful for her condition?

"Miss, would you like to attend Princess Xiqing's banquet?" Chunxi asked, looking at the invitation from Prince Qing's Mansion in front of Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran picked up the post and flipped through it again, looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, and said, "Go, of course I'm going! This is an invitation from the palace, it's inappropriate for us not to go."

"But—" Chun Xi's face was a bit tangled, "Will someone bring up the matter of Eldest Young Master and Princess Xi Qing to embarrass you?"

"Whether anyone will mention it or not, we have to go. Besides, that matter has been investigated. Brother Chen and Princess Xiqing were plotted against. They were all wronged. Princess Xiqing is no longer afraid. Rumors and gossips have passed the gate of the Xu family, so we have nothing to worry about. Sometimes the more we avoid the taboo, the more we care about it, and the more people talk about it. It's better to communicate openly, and others will say nothing! "Lin Shuran can think about everything. If there are a lot of people going to the Prince Qing Mansion to attend the Jiji Banquet, then seeing him appear, someone will definitely say what happened to Xu Mingchen and Princess Xiqing at Penglai Restaurant last time, but I don't know whether to say it explicitly or in secret. I said it.

Chunxi felt that what her lady said was right. There was nothing wrong with Xu Mingchen and Princess Xiqing in this matter. Someone wanted to harm them, and they were the victims.

Afterwards, Lin Shuran took Chunxi to the storeroom to choose a gift for Princess Xiqing. The gift of a woman and a hairpin is a big deal, and as an invited guest, she also has to offer a gift for congratulations.

However, after choosing and choosing, Lin Shuran didn't see any suitable ones, so she took Chunxi to the largest gold, silver and jade shop in the capital—Yaoguang Pavilion, where she wanted to choose a gift for Princess Xiqing.

But when the master and the servant stepped into the store, they saw Gu Xiruo and Guo Shi who also came to choose jewelry. Today is the fourth day of May, and two days later it will be the day when Gu Xiruo will marry into Ling Wangfu as a side concubine up.

Gu Xiruo and Guo Shi did not expect to meet Lin Shuran in Yaoguang Pavilion. Gu Xiruo was still the well-behaved and sensible daughter in front of Guo Shi. When she saw Lin Shuran, she first smiled and greeted Lin Shuran.

"Sister Lin, it's such a coincidence that you also came to see the jewelry!" Gu Xiruo supported Guo Shi, but when she looked at Lin Shuran with pride and provocation, Guo Shi felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lin Shuran. of.

Lin Shuran calmly stepped forward to greet Mrs. Guo, then looked at Gu Xiruo and said, "It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect Aunt Gu and Sister Gu to be here."

"Sister Lin, are you here to choose jewelry for yourself? But I heard that the property of the Xu family has been returned to the imperial court, and the shops of the Xu family have also been closed. Look at you, you are obviously the wife of the general's mansion. It’s really plain to wear!”

Gu Xiruo scanned Lin Shuran up and down. Today, Lin Shuran is wearing a sky-blue plain gauze skirt, no pearls and jade accessories around her waist, earrings as small as rice grains, and a simple white jade hairpin on her head, which is even eye-catching. She didn't even have any gold ornaments, so she wouldn't think it was the national mourning period.

Mrs. Guo turned her head slightly and glanced at Gu Xiruo. This daughter of hers was not like her anymore, and her words and deeds became more and more unruly.

But Gu Xiruo pretended not to see Guo's warning eyes. Seeing that Lin Shuran didn't speak up immediately, she knew that she didn't think she had a good impression of her now, so she continued: "Sister Lin, I'm going to get married in two days. Will you come to put on my makeup then?"

"Xi Ruo!" Mrs. Guo didn't expect her daughter to ask others for makeup gifts in person, which made her feel very ashamed, and immediately reprimanded her.

Gu Xiruo's face darkened, as if she was not afraid that Mrs. Guo would be angry at all, she curled her lips and said, "Mother, the elder sister of the Lin family is not an outsider. If her brother is still here, she will be my sister-in-law. She will add makeup when I get married." What's wrong!"

The more Mrs. Guo heard it, the more angry she became. Just when she was about to reprimand Gu Xiruo again, Lin Shuran said with a smile: "Auntie, what the sister of the Gu family said is right, you don't need to be angry, but on the day when the sister of the Gu family got married, I'm afraid it's true. I can't go because I have something to do, the Empress Dowager has sent a message to let me go to the palace to accompany her that day. But today is just the right time to add makeup, so the younger sister of the Gu family will choose a piece of jewelry in this Yaoguang Pavilion, may I give it to you?"

"Sister, it's not appropriate!" Mrs. Guo immediately refused.

Originally, if Gu Xi married into the Ling Palace, Guo Shi and Gu Chang were unhappy. They only hoped that their daughter would marry into an ordinary family and live a normal life. The husband-in-law chosen for her last time was a few years older than her, but She is decent and kind, and her parents-in-law are also very good-natured people, but she insists that the other party is an old man, and she refuses to marry no matter what.

"Mother, why is it inappropriate!" Gu Xiruo hurriedly teased Guo Shi, feeling annoyed in her heart. If it wasn't for Lin Shuran, her brother wouldn't have died. If her brother was still there, the Gu family would be more beautiful than it is now. She got married. It wouldn't be so shabby, but it's just a piece of jewelry she deserves, so why is it inappropriate, "Sister Lin, you can't count your words, so I'll choose it unceremoniously!"

After finishing speaking, without giving Guo Shi and Lin Shuran a chance to talk again, he asked the shopkeeper to show her the beautiful jewelry in the store.

Just now, Gu Xiruo and Guo Shi had been choosing in the store for a long time. They couldn’t afford the ones they liked, and looked down upon the ones they could afford, but the shopkeeper knew what he knew and didn’t say anything. He still let them choose with a smile on his face. Now She is still the daughter of the prince Jijiu, and she will be the side concubine of Prince Ling in the future. It is better not to offend such a guest.

"Shopkeeper, take out the set of jewelry I fancy just now!" Gu Xiruo looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, her tone was unnaturally arrogant, and at the same time she looked back at Lin Shuran and raised her eyebrows slightly .

Soon, the shopkeeper took out a set of emerald and gold-encrusted gorgeous heads, and then said to Gu Xiruo with a smile: "Miss Gu, you still have a good eye, this is the only head in our capital."

Gu Xiruo's eyes lit up again, she liked this set of jewelry very much just now, but the shopkeeper asked for 1000 taels, how could she afford it, but Lin Shuran walked in, so don't blame her for opening her mouth like a lion.
