As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 108 Makeup
The next day is September [-]th.

A chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was held in the palace, and the family members of civil and military ministers of third rank and above were invited to participate. It can be regarded as the largest palace banquet this year.

Of course, an honorable family like Liangguo Duke's Mansion is included in the invitation.

Usually, Yu takes Xie Zhaozhao with him.

Because Xie Xingchen was born to a second wife, he would not be invited to the palace banquets.

But this time, because she was given the marriage concubine Liang Wangwei, she also received a post.

For this chrysanthemum appreciation feast, Xie Xingchen and Mr. Dou stayed in the Yilan Garden every day, preparing for almost half a month.

Practice your piano and pipa skills, and carefully choose and match your clothes and jewelry.

They were so busy with this that they naturally never even felt uncomfortable in front of Yu and Xie Zhaozhao.

This actually made Xie Zhaozhao out of sight and out of mind for so many days.

Xiangrong said while helping Xie Zhaozhao change, "She's still practicing the piano. It's a palace banquet. Doesn't she want to go up and perform and play the piano? I really don't know what to say!"

The Ministry of Etiquette is always responsible for the dance and music programs at palace banquets.

Even if there are occasional performances by the children of ministers, they are basically the ones with low status.

A serious noble and aristocratic family would not let their children come on stage to entertain everyone.

"Now she has a sharp tongue." Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Xiangrong with a smile, "What does it matter to her? She can do whatever she wants. We'll just show off her tactics."

"That's what the lady said." Xiang Rong smiled and arched her eyebrows.

She was later sent to Xie Zhaozhao by the Yu family. During this period of time, she gradually became familiar with everyone in Wangyue Tower, including Xie Zhaozhao, and she became less restrained and became more lively.

"My lady, this outfit was made by Ruyifang last month. It's just in time for the banquet."

Xiangrong said, carefully helping Xie Zhaozhao tidy up her clothes.

Xie Zhaozhao is wearing a lotus-colored round neck, wide-sleeved wild goose skirt today, with a light pearl white gauze cover.

The cuffs and skirt are mainly made of indigo embroidery thread, supplemented by colorful threads on the side, and embroidered with broken branches of flowers, plants and birds.

The color is simple and elegant but very fresh and unique.

She looks exactly like a lady should.

This kind of dress has always been Yu's favorite style worn by Xie Zhaozhao.

Because others always laughed at their mother and daughter for being reckless, rude, and unsociable, Mrs. Yu was holding her anger in her heart and always wanted to dress her daughter up as a noble daughter of a noble family.

It's just that Xie Zhaozhao didn't like this style at all before.

She likes neat styles with wide sleeves and waist, and skirts that reach two inches above the ankles.

Although such dresses are specially made by tailors, the embroidery patterns and decorations are very unique and very beautiful.

But she always lacks a lot of the gentleness and grace that a noble lady should have.

"Madam, if she sees the young lady dressed like this, she will be very happy." Xiang Rong said with a smile, and helped Xie Zhaozhao put on the cloud shoulders.

"This dress is very beautiful." Xie Zhaozhao looked at himself in the mirror and said this sincerely.

It's just a bit long and the sleeves are a bit wide, but it's really pleasing to the eye.

No wonder so many noble ladies like to dress up like this.

"Miss, which set of jewelry are you going to wear today?" Xiang Rong adjusted her shoulders, "Ruyifang has a set of jewelry with this dress."

"I don't like that look." Xie Zhaozhao said, "Help me put on my pearls."

"it is good!"

Xiangrong carefully took out a wooden box from the cabinet and placed it on the dressing table in front of Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao added: "Don't use fake buns to comb those complicated hairstyles. Just wear a single snail bun and pick a few beads to decorate it a little. I don't like having a mountain on my head. My neck will be unbearable." "Yes." Xianggui, who had just come in, laughed when she heard this, "Miss still likes it to be simple and light, and I will take care of you."

She came closer, put her bun into a bun as per Xie Zhaozhao's request, and brought the box with the pearl in front of Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao chose three pearl flowers, one larger and two smaller.

Xianggui pinned the big one in front and the small one at the base of her bun. She took the earrings and put them on Xie Zhaozhao, and put a pearl flower on her forehead.

The pearl flower mother-of-pearl is made of small pearls as big as millet glued together with special techniques. It is extremely unique.

"Miss, please put on some makeup." Xianggui brought the powder and sniffed it gently, "This smells pretty good."

"No." Xie Zhaozhao frowned, "Just click your lips."

"That's fine!" Xianggui knew that Xie Zhaozhao didn't like makeup very much, so she stopped trying to persuade her and carefully followed Xie Zhaozhao's instructions to dress up.

After Xianggui makeup was finished, Xie Zhaozhao took a look in the mirror and said with emotion: "Miss is so beautiful, my slaves will stare at her. If I go to the banquet today, I don't know how many people will be amazed."

Xie Zhaozhao pulled the jewelry box, picked up a light white cat's eye jade bracelet and put it on her wrist: "You are also glib...is there any news outside?"

"Outside -" Xiang Gui suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously in a low voice: "The body floated to the north of the city and was discovered by the people. They reported it to the Yamen and Jing Zhaoyin's people have taken the body back."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "Just take it back with you. You can continue to keep people's attention and see how Jing Zhaoyin handles this matter."

"Yes." Xianggui nodded and glanced at the copper kettle dripping aside, "It's almost time, young lady, let's go out now."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, looked in the mirror, and felt quite satisfied. He stood up with a smile and went to Yu's Chunhe Building.

The Yu family has racked their brains over the years in order to dress up Xie Zhaozhao as a noble daughter of a noble family.

This time, I didn't expect that Xie Zhaozhao was obedient and pretended to be in line with Yu's wishes. From the moment she saw Xie Zhaozhao, Yu couldn't stop smiling.

Influenced by her, Xie Changan and Xie Changyuan were also in a happy mood.

The two of them went out together not far behind Yu.

Xie Changan suddenly said: "The pearls on the beaded flower my sister is wearing are of excellent quality. There are not many pearls of such quality and size in this holy capital. I don't know where they came from."

"I know."

"where?"

Xie Changyuan smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you!"

"..."

Xie Changan was stunned, "I have a chance to ask my sister myself."

After saying that, Xie Changan walked a few steps quickly, leaving Xie Changyuan behind.

Xie Changyuan frowned, suddenly realizing that he was very bored, he curled his lips and chased after him. Just as he was about to say something to Xie Changan, Yu, Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changan who were walking in front stopped.

Xie Changyuan took a look and raised his eyebrows.

Mother Dou and Xie Xingchen stood at the door.

Both mother and daughter were dressed in fine clothes, and the fabrics of their clothes and the jewelry they wore were all of the highest quality.

Especially Xie Xingchen, who was wearing a lilac-colored cross-collar Ruyi skirt with a moderate-length train.

The skirt is a waist-cinching style, with a wide purple belt woven with jade, and the waist is so thin that it doesn't fit into one's hand.

Her jet-black and shiny black hair was combed into a complicated and elegant corolla bun. She wore a complete set of purple jade-pointed gold hair and face, and a beautiful necklace on her slender and elegant neck.

At first glance, it looks noble, elegant and radiant.
