Shortly after noon, the girl from Tong Clan came to find Wang Rong He. Wang Rong He said to her, "Are you holding your breath?"

"Of course." Tong Da Niu said, "They are clearly neighbors on the same street. They are obviously very curious. Whether it is an open or private investigation, they just don't come and ask."

"What did you want to ask me?" Wang Rong asked with a smile.

"I wanted to ask you about the banquet that day at the Marquis Wu Qing Palace, what clothes and jewelry did you wear, do you know why the Marquis Wu Qing's Mistress called us to attend the banquet?" "These are all questions my mother wants to know. I don't want to know."

"Me or my sister?" Wang Rong asked.

"My mother wants to know about Second Miss, but I want to know about yours." Tong said, "My mother made me a new pink one. I think I'm not suitable for that color, so I feel uncomfortable wearing it."

"Then go back and tell your mother, tell her that my second sister wore pink that day, and your mother will not let you wear pink." Wang Rong He said, "I'm wearing a light yellow suit with a double bun. I'm still small."

"He's still young even at the age of 16." Tong Da Niu said, "My mother said that you didn't say that it would be a marriage last year, but that you would only leave at the age of seventeen or eighteen after seeing the emperor's grand marriage this year."

"It's not like I'm looking forward to going out of the pavilion. It'll be better if I wait a bit longer." Wang Rong He said.

Tong Da Niu was complaining to Wang Rong before leaving in satisfaction after eating a whole stomach of snacks.

When they went to the feast that day, Wang Rong and saw Tong Da Niu still wearing the same pink clothes that she did not like, dressed in the same color as Wang Zhixi. In fact, out of the eleven girls, seven of them wore this kind of clothes that could display a young girl's tender color.

The new clothes Wang Zhixi was wearing today was early in the morning. The pink lapels and the same color pleated skirt, two embroidered peaches hung from each side of her waist, and there were also fragrant pendants and other things on them. The four friends of the year were embroidered on their sleeves and their bodies were covered with a red robe, which were tied halfway up their hair.

Wang Fuchang wore a lot simpler clothes. They were also pink colored dresses, but they were worn during the New Year, and on them were embroidered patterns of age and safety. She was lying on her stomach, watching her mother and the steward's wife circle around her sister. She was praising the fact that the young lady had truly descended to the mortal realm.

After waking up, she first did a set of complete stretching movements on the bed, then went to the toilet in high spirits. After washing and grooming, she untied the large braids she had made during the night and put some fragrant powder on her head.

His hair was cut in two, combed to the top and tied in a bun. His hair was cut into two halves, half of which was braided loosely to form a ring, half of which was braided to form a braid, the other half was braided to form a ring.

She wore a round apricot jacket with goosebumps, but it did not show her waist. Her undergarments were all pale purple, and she wore a full moon dress with an octagonal band around her neck. There was an immortal crane pattern on her waist, and inside was a golden, silver, and fragrant ball containing the incense given to her by Grandmother Sun. He didn't wear a ring, but a pair of white jade bracelets on her wrist. A pair of silver leaves with pearl earrings hung at the tips of her ears. The face is powdered, the brush is drawn on the eyebrow, and the lips contain vermilion paper. In less than an hour, the makeup was done.

"That's enough. Go pay respects to Grandmother." Wang Rong said after looking at himself in the mirror.

Wang Rong didn't like to be powdered, so after looking at her for a while, she said, "Look at her dressing. She doesn't look like she's dressing herself."

"Grandmother, you just have to praise me. There's no need to say the latter part." Wang Rong said in a spoiled manner.

When it was time for dinner, Wang Wei asked, "Where's Madam?"

"She told me yesterday that she won't come back for dinner with the two little girls and three little girls in the courtyard." "I agree," the old lady said. "It will take a long time for a girl to dress for dinner."

Wang Wei looked at Wang Rong and said, "Then why are you still here?"

"I'm already dressed." Wang Rong He said, "Does it look good?"

"Good." Wang Wei said, "Your mother doesn't care about your disguise?"

"Aiya, as long as you look good." Wang Rong He said, "Eat your food. I went to the Marquis Wu Qing Palace today, so for the sake of my image, I definitely won't be able to eat until I've eaten my fill at home."

"He should eat and drink. It is a blessing to be able to eat. Don't worry about face." Wang Wei said.

"Get someone to prepare some snacks for us in the carriage. We can eat them when we get back to the carriage." the old lady said. "Which girl are you taking?"

"Are you alright?" Wang Rong He said, "Calm down."

By the time Wang Zhixi had made the necessary arrangements, it was already the last opportunity to leave. The other families outside had already come three times to urge them, Wang Rong and the others sincerely praised Wang Zhixi when they saw him for the first time. My second sister is so beautiful today. "

"Big Sis is also beautiful today." Wang Zhixi said, and only Wang Fuchang said in a slightly straightforward manner, "Why does big sister look like she's wearing her little sister's clothes today?"

Wang Yunzhi pursed her lips and smiled. She had done this on purpose. She didn't want to enter the palace.

Only after they got off the carriage at the side door of the Marquis Wu Qing Palace did they see the other party's attire. They scanned up and down, and only happened to move a little further away from Wang Zhixi, just a little further.

The Marquis Wu Qing Residence was a huge five or nine-storey house. It took them a quarter of an hour to arrive at the banquet venue while rocking on the palanquin, and the first wife of the Marquis Wu Qing Mistress was waiting for the guests in the parlour to arrive. When all the girls had finished standing up, she said, "When I heard the magpie's call this morning, I knew that there would be some important guests visiting.

Eleven girls were lined up according to their father's rank, including the daughter of the Minister of Rites' assistant minister. The Wang sisters were not in the front line. The Marquis Mansion was huge and extremely luxurious, so much so that the young ladies of the Stable Residence could not help but look around when they were still jade in their families. Wang Zhixi pulled at Wang Fuchang a little, telling her not to look around carelessly.

When they arrived at the side room where the Marquis Wu Qing's madame was, the ladies of the Marquis Wu Qing's residence were already there. When the eleven ladies came in, the whole room was filled with women. When the young lady saw him, Marquis Wu Qing was very happy. "Aiyo, this young lady looks really pretty."

After Marquis Wu Qing's Madam had handed Qi Zhixi over, the others were both envious and jealous. If they couldn't talk much, perhaps even the Marquis Wu Qing's wife would feel that the fragrance was a little overwhelming, so he asked his young lady to take the girls for a stroll in the garden.

When he left the room and went to the garden, he was about the same age, and soon he got to know her. The little girl could only talk about clothes and accessories, but when it came to clothes and jewelry, the young lady from the Hou Mansion was better than the young lady from the Stable Pavilion in every way. The ordinary cloth that the young lady from the Hou Mansion used was already good stuff that the young lady from the Stable Workshop could only use during festivals. Actually, it was rather boring.

The young ladies of the house seemed to be sizing up Wang Zhixi. To women, beauty was something they paid special attention to. Li Si asked Wang Ronghe, "How did you and your sister end up like this?"

"The Nine Sons of the Dragon are different." Wang Rong replied with a smile. However, a neighboring girl from the Serenity Workshop quickly said, "They weren't born of the same mother, so they naturally don't look like one." Wang Rong He looked at her with a smile on his face, but his eyes made the person with the quick mouth lower his head and hide in the corner.

"Is there a difference?" Li Si's daughter asked curiously.

"My mother is in the main wife class as well." Wang Fuchang said in dissatisfaction. "She just entered the house in a proper manner, married into an eight carrying palanquin."

"They are all direct girls." Wang Rong He said. I thought that the Hou clan would have known about this already. " It should have been investigated before the post was posted. Why did he still have to ask such a rude question?

"Fourth Sister." Third Miss Li came out to help. "Lady Wang, please don't blame me. My younger sister is just a bit too curious and forgetful. She forgets everything she said, so she has to ask."

"So that's how it is." Wang Rong gave a bashful smile and said, "I thought that Fourth Miss was full of curiosity, so don't blame us for coming to the wrong house, it's not the one that the house of the Marquis wants to invite."

"Nothing." Li San's daughter said, then asked Wang Zhixi, "Did you really make that lamp that was sold at the Stable Residence for three thousand liang? "It's a pity I didn't get the chance to meet you."

"Originally, it was not made to be sold. Three thousand silver taels were all given to the Kaizhi Temple of Tzu Chi Temple. Perhaps the person who bought the lanterns had the intention to do good deeds." Wang Zhixi said.

"The lamp that Second Lady Wang made is truly luxurious and extraordinary. My mother said that the raw materials needed to make that lamp cannot be removed without a few hundred taels of silver." It was even the young lady from the Broad Creed Workshop who said this.

Wang Zhixi only said that they were for fun, and that it was difficult for them to go to the great hall.

"I wonder who bought the lamp?" Someone asked. Seeing that there was no response from the young girl from the house of the Marquis, she said, "They all say that His Majesty bought it. If that's the case, does second sister from the Wang family still say it was a vulgar work?"

Wang Zhixi was stunned. I said it was for fun, but I didn't say it was vulgar.

"If it really was His Majesty who bought the lantern, the imperial government would have fallen out of their minds long ago. All sorts of officials would rush to persuade His Majesty not to be extravagant." The one who spoke was the girl from the vice minister's house in the Ministry of Rites. She was naturally more noble than the rest of the people, and upon seeing that the other girls were concerned about whether the lamp was bought by His Majesty, she opened her mouth and answered them with disdain.

The person who asked the question was a bit perplexed, whose family was not like yours. Their father was a high official, and even if their family had a residence to report, it was still not a place the girls could reach.

Seeing that the young lady from the Stable Pavilion was about to start an internal conflict, Li San's daughter gave a look and the servant carried a snow-white kitten. Wow, it's so pretty! The girls' attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of this beautiful cat.

"Grandmother said that Her Majesty used to like cats when she was in her boudoir." "Grandmother keeps a cat," Li Si said, "and she thought of how the empress dowager was still standing in front of her."

The girls all praised the cat's beauty. Wang Rong glanced at the person holding the cat. The person was wearing gloves, and when she looked carefully, the cat's claws were sharp. Even though it was a rare cat, it didn't move forward.

"Second Lady Wang, do you want to hug it?" Wang Rong stood in front of her and said with a gentle smile, "A cat has a very arrogant personality. The second lady is afraid of cats, it would be bad if she was scared of one."

Wang Zhixi didn't understand why Wang Rong said that, but he clenched his teeth and didn't refute her. After all, if they were to retort back outside with his big sister, it wouldn't be good to let people have a good impression of him. However, her eyebrows showed that she really wanted to hug the cat, but since her elder sister said that she wouldn't hug the cat, she wouldn't hug it. He felt rather wronged.

"Miss Wang sure is a good older sister." Li Si's daughter said. Having his kind suggestion rejected made him feel bad, so he chose another girl to hug the cat. The girl was very happy and took the cat over.

The big white cat wagged its tail impatiently.

The girl wanted to hug him closer, so she rubbed her face against the hair on her back. The white cat impatiently shook her off, and even scratched her arm with its paw.

"Ah!" The young lady cried out in alarm, causing the faces of everyone present to pale in fright.

It was a good thing that the winter dress was thick and only the sleeves of the shirt were torn. The skin only had a red mark on it, but it did not have any torn skin, "Okay, okay, the clothes are torn, there are no scratches on the hands, so this red mark will not be left behind." Wang Rong Yun said.

"Really?" The girl said pitifully.

"Really, look for yourself." Wang Rong He said.

"My new clothes are torn." When the girl saw that there was nothing wrong with her arm, she started to feel sorry for her clothes.

Wang Rong He really wanted to say, "Foolish child, you tore off a piece of clothing in the house of the Marquis. The house of the Marquis will not be able to accompany you."

Because of this sudden incident, the gathering hastily ended. They returned to their own homes after the banquet in advance, and the Hou Mansion had apologized to the girl repeatedly. Even the Marquis Wu Qing's Madam had held onto the girl's hand and asked a few times.

The people of the house of the Marquis personally sent the girl home, and they had to prepare some apologies.

When he returned home, he naturally went to pay his respects to his grandma. When his grandma asked him about the state of affairs at the banquet, Wang Rong said lightly, "You were even caught by a cat. Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it's just that my clothes were torn and I was a bit scared." Wang Rong He said, "It's just that she was lucky, and just wanted to use her face to rub her back. If she were to raise her cat to wash her back, if she were to scratch her face, she would have to write it down."

Cats are very wild. You all have to be extra careful when you encounter one in the future." "Thank you," the old lady said. Be careful of this domesticated cat, because it is not yours, and is also a wild cat to you. "If she comes up and gives you a paw, you'll be fine."

And the words of thanks that Wang Zhixi had stuck in her throat, never came out.
