Chapter 707 Face Slapping Father and Son (1)
September 12th, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the autumn tiger is still fierce. It is slightly cooler in the morning and evening, but the daytime is as hot as midsummer. However, this did not affect the mood of the nobles who came to the palace for a banquet. As we all know, the princess doesn't like to be lively, and she rarely holds banquets in her own mansion except for necessary entertainment. The last time they entered the mansion was the wedding of the two young masters. Four months have passed. How can they not be happy to finally receive the request of the palace? Another tacit reason is that they can finally take a good look at Xuanyin's sick wife.
It is said that the princess of the county attended the banquet of Sikong's family, but unfortunately she stayed in the wing all the time, and few people saw her. Afterwards, they heard that Princess Jun was the owner of Huichun Hall, so they couldn't help being curious and went there to try their luck, but they didn't come across it.
Ning Yue didn't know that more than half of those people came for her. Today is a good day to choose a husband for Qin'er, and she is carefully choosing clothes for Qin'er.
Dongmei and Lianxin displayed the summer and autumn clothes that the embroiderers rushed to make.
"How about this blue fairy dress?" Dongmei asked.
"The color is too light." Ning Yue waved her hand.
Dongmei picked up another rose red set: "What about this one?"
"It's too gorgeous." It reminded Ning Yue of Qionglou's mother Rong, with a rose red dress and heavy makeup, which was too vulgar.
Lian Xin unfolded a bright red high-waisted skirt: "What do you think of this, Grandma Fourth?"
Red is very good, Qin'er has fair skin, and can afford this color, but the style is too simple, not suitable for such a solemn occasion.
Ning Yue shook her head, not very satisfied. Although the world often says not to judge a person by their appearance, dressing up beautifully is also a kind of respect for the guests, not to mention that Qin'er is not confident enough, of course she doesn't want Qin'er to lose in her attire.
Finally, it was Dongmei who came up with the idea: "Miss, do you remember that Madam made you a bright yellow dress, you said it was too long and you plan to wear it next year?"
Yes, it was the skirt her mother made for her during the few days when she lived in Ma's house. Her mother said that she was growing up, and she looked different every day, so she made it a little bigger, and Qin'er's head came out. She is a little bit, maybe just right.
Ning Yue immediately asked Dongmei to show the skirt to Qin'er for a try, it looked as if it was tailor-made, and all the maids in the room were amazed.
After dressing up, Ning Yue and Qin'er went to Wenfang Courtyard hand in hand, there were already many women and daughters talking and laughing happily.
Sikong's wife, Liu Wanyu, was sitting next to the princess. Since the Sikong family had posted a message to the Xuan family earlier, the Xuan family also invited them this time. Sikong Shuo would not come to such a boring banquet. Sikong Li was preparing to marry in his boudoir. Patriarch Sikong couldn't leave the house due to trivial matters, so he asked Liu Wanyu to bring Sikong Cheng, Sikong Xu and Sikong Jing to the banquet. Brother Sikong Cheng went to the pasture to play with his sons and brothers, and Xuan Zhao was entertaining them over there.
Here, Liu Wanyu and the concubine had a very happy conversation, and Si Kongjing sat beside him gracefully, like a water lily, so peaceful and beautiful, in the eyes of everyone, it was unavoidable to be amazed again.
Seeing that her daughter is so popular, Liu Wanyu was also very happy. Don't think that she didn't know what the princess was up to. She said it was to appreciate chrysanthemums, but she actually wanted to find a good husband for Xuan Qin'er. It just so happened that she also wanted to give Jing find one! She has seen Xuan Qin'er before, but Er Er, even Jing'er's finger can't match, the lady and son who came today will definitely take a fancy to her Jing'er first!
Si Kongjing was wearing a white tunic skirt, the waist was extremely narrow, which accentuated her exquisite figure to the fullest; outside the skirt, she was covered with a thin gold silk gauze, which had no buttons. , slightly open, both gorgeous and delicate.
