As long as it was a woman, there would not be anyone who did not pay attention to her dressing. Prince Jin's Wife was naturally no exception, when she said that, everyone around them turned to look at Xie Jingxi, curious, to see what kind of unique clothes Prince Jin's Wife could see.

Xie Jingxi removed her cape the moment she entered the palace gate, revealing a dark red long gown beneath. Originally, she did not wear such heavy colored clothes, but after entering the palace today, which was a somewhat formal occasion, with all of the famous people wearing high quality clothing, she naturally could not wear it casually like she usually did. Moreover, she had her own motives. She intentionally wore such an eye-piercing color, so as to attract their attention and give Shen Huanzhi a beating.

Growing up in Jiangnan, she was originally white and delicate, and if one looked at her face closely, they would be able to pinch water out of it. Her eyes were clear and zirconium like beautiful, and her simple and elegant dress would make people think of Jiangnan, Liuqiao.

Xie Jingxi never thought that wearing this kind of color would actually look good. The important thing is that this material is made gently, although the style is formal, the details are not soft, and the waist is perfectly cut, and the cut isn't as stiff as the other girls' wives wear it, although it is very refreshing, but it is still not very comfortable.

"Reporting to the Prince Jin's Wife, this is the material that came out of Jiangnan. I have a small body, so I can't support our kind of stiff fabric, and I'm used to wearing small clothes, so I brought some from home."

The more she looked, the more she liked it, "This color is really good, in the end, this is a young water spirit, wearing anything is good to look at, and there's also the color of the Begonia flower, I have never seen it before, it even doesn't have our capital's most famous brocade Fang."

Being praised like that by the Prince Jin's Wife, many young misses stuck out their necks to take a look. Mrs Li, who was still rushing over as usual, said first: "It's true, Prince Jin's Wife has good eyesight after all. We haven't even seen the minute differences yet."

"Yeah, if you look carefully, this material is truly soft. It can even be done in such a forceful manner, and is definitely more comfortable than the ones on our bodies. What material is this? We should also go buy some later."

The one who spoke was a young mistress of the Qi family, who was also one of Prince Jin's Wife's siblings. Xie Jingxi smiled, "If young mistress Qi likes it, I can send someone to take them away, but although this material is comfortable, it cannot go through the water.

"So that's how it is. Then, I'll thank the Third Miss first."

Usually, the ladies in the capital would compete with the fresh flowers and fabrics. Whoever got the better flowers would wish that she was the only one with good clothes in the entire capital. It was not rare for her to wear a new dress, but it was still not easy to find one. It was rare to see someone as generous as Xie Jingxi, thus, the old wives and grandmothers who were not too familiar with her felt that the Third Miss s were not as bad as they had been rumored to be.

Thus, these wives and grandmothers surrounded the Prince Jin's Wife, pulling Xie Jingxi and talking about her clothes and accessories all the way until they entered the Empress's Phoenix Luan Palace.

"What are you talking about, Princess? You're making me laugh."

Madame Zheng sat on the main hall, surrounded by a few women dressed in palace clothing. She must be a concubine in the palace, while Prince Jin's Wife was a regular visitor in the palace who was related to the imperial family.

"Queen imperial consort, we were just talking about Jingwan's clothes, do you think it's good?"

Xie Jingxi did not expect that Prince Jin's Wife would push her away immediately after she came out. In her previous life, she had married Gu Heng to fill the rooms, and as the wife of the Marquis Anfeng Palace, she once had the chance to follow him into the palace. However, she only stood at the side from afar to take a look at the people around her.

Therefore, Xie Jingxi was slightly regretful that she dressed in such a ostentatious manner. Originally, she wanted to follow Lady Xu and become a mute, but when she was pushed out like this, the eyes of the entire hall were focused on her body, it was as if she was standing on tenterhooks.

Fortunately, Xie Jingxi had always been good at acting, and could not find anything to fear, so she walked over to pay her respects to the empress imperial consort.

The empress looked over from afar and asked, "Jingwan? Why have I never heard of it?

"Reporting to the Queen's imperial consort, my father is Xie Cen. My daughter is Xing San."

"Oh? I see, it's the young lady from Elder Official Xie. Let me take a look when you raise your head. "

Xie Jingxi slightly raised her head, the Queen scrutinized him for a while, and said, "She's quite a righteous child, with a bit of the shadow of the Elder Official Xie."

"That's right." Prince Jin's Wife came to the empress's side. "Elder Official Xie's elegance is one of the best in our Great Chen official arena, the few ladies there are only able to attract his attention, I liked this child from the first glance, but she grew up in Jiangnan, and imperial consort has never heard of her before. Look, that Old Madem is the ancestor of Xie Family."

Prince Jin's Wife pointed to Madame Qin, who bowed to the empress according to her rank. The empress normally complimented her a few times, "A great madam, to be able to bring up a talent like Elder Official Xie, she must be close."

"That's right. Look at her bearing, she's like the Madam of the Capital."

The atmosphere in the capital had always been like this, and when everyone looked down on Xie Jingxi, everyone looked down on him. When Xie Jingxi was favored by the Queen Prince Jin's Wife, they would just watch him as she was doing fine, and try her best to get close to him.

"How old is this Third Miss? Do you have any relatives?"

A lady in palace attire beside the empress asked. Xie Jingxi was unable to identify her and was about to answer when Prince Jin's Wife said, "Imperial Noble Consort Shen, don't fight with me over this. I've taken a fancy to Jing Wan, she should be left for my own people."

Her fate was good, and she ended up with a son for the Emperor. She was the mother of the Second Prince, and there were not many sons of the His Majesty, including the crown prince, who numbered only three. Furthermore, the Third Prince was still young, and they were only two or three years old.

The crown prince had originally occupied the position of the eldest son as the eldest son, thus, it was reasonable for him to be called the crown prince. However, the crown prince had become more and more preposterous in the recent years, causing the His Majesty to complain about him. Thus, those who had ideas in their minds, began to make ideas and suggestions towards the Second Prince.

The Imperial Noble Consort Shen had always been a man of character, strictly restraining the Second Prince and never interfering with matters of the Party. At the moment, the Second Prince was still a young man who only knew how to read the Book of Virtue, it could not be seen whether he would succeed or fail, but compared to the preposterous Crown Prince, it was still much better.

With Imperial Noble Consort Shen's earlier question, many people felt their hearts skip a beat. Second Prince was currently 14 or 15 years old, he might not be that old, but he was still young. If Second Prince took in the Xie Family as a wife, then he would definitely add the support of Elder Official Xie's side. Then, did this mean that Imperial Noble Consort Shen also had her own ideas?

The Imperial Noble Consort Shen had probably realized that she was being rude just now, but when she was stopped by the Prince Jin's Wife, he took the opportunity to laugh, "Look at how protective she is, I've long heard that our Prince Jin's Wife, who's the most arrogant person here, has taken a fancy to someone's girl and is nagging for her to marry. How would I dare to think of anything against her, it's just a casual question."

"Who told you to ask so casually, we, Jing Wan, are acting like this and saying that people believe her even when she's twelve, so it's useless to ask."

In the end, Prince Jin's Wife only knew how to read one's eyes. With that sentence, it resolved a somewhat awkward situation, which caused all the imperial concubines to burst out laughing as well. Xie Jingxi could not help but heave a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that this noble circle was truly tiring. Everyone said that the Prince Jin's Wife was superior, how much effort did they have to gain a reputation amongst this group of people, and how could they not complain that the empress and the noble ladies were all supporting her, that was all their ability.

The Prince Jin's Wife started on another topic. Even if Xie Jingxi were to bring this matter up, she would take the chance to retreat behind the Lady Xu and the Qin, and would not easily stand out. She only hoped that the words spoken by the Imperial Noble Consort Shen just now would not be taken seriously by others, or else she, Xie Jingxi, would truly become the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone would have to wait until the evening before bowing and admiring the moon and eating imperial meals. Only then did Xie Jingxi calm down a little as she broke out in a cold sweat, her body feeling very tired. She once again put on her cloak and covered most of her eye-catching clothes.

"How beautiful the clothes are, why are you covering them?"

Gu Wan came to find Xie Jingxi when she was free. In this kind of situation, the two of them were always the sisters who had the hardest time speaking. When Xie Jingxi saw that it was her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Tch, come on, I still don't know you, you probably scared the queen's imperial consort just now, it's not that bad, there are so many women in the palace, the empress's memory is not that good, in the blink of an eye, you can forget it, you are even more scared, furthermore, how can your clothes be called winking, look at them, they are not covered up yet, you don't wear this kind of clothes, you're not used to it, it's just that you look so pretty wearing it.

Gu Wan brought Xie Jingxi to walk around the imperial garden where there was a feast, and after finding a place with less people, she asked: "Are the materials I sent you ready?"

I'm not usually at home, so I don't usually wear my usual clothes. However, I've made the inner clothes, and they're really comfortable to wear. My brother had brought some clothes from Jiangnan previously, so I've always used them as my inner clothes.

"Has Eldest Young Master been to Jiangnan?" Xie Jingxi was a little surprised.

"That's right, big brother is not in good health. When winter comes, he will often go to the south for the winter."

Xie Jingxi frowned slightly, so it turns out that his health was not very good, but since he had gone to Jiangnan, then she might not be able to see him before spring, so he might as well delay the marriage again.
