Chapter 181 Couple Costume
After a long wait and exhausting torture, Yun Yuxi finally fell into a sweet and deep sleep.
When she woke up from her dream, the setting sun was already shining through the window onto the bed.
She stretched her body lazily, feeling the comfort and satisfaction, but was reluctant to leave the warm bed.
At this moment, Banxia beside her reminded softly: "Princess, the emperor is holding a banquet tonight." These words flashed through Yun Yuxi's mind like a flash of lightning, instantly waking her up from her lazy state.
She sat up suddenly, with a hint of surprise and nervousness in her eyes.
Then, two maids, Yun Qian and Yun Xiao, came in carrying trays. They said in unison, "Princess, these are the clothes sent by the prince. Please take a look."
As he spoke, he gently placed the tray on the table and carefully uncovered the silk covering it.
Yun Yuxi moved forward curiously, her eyes attracted by the scene before her.
On the tray was a set of exquisite and gorgeous clothing, as well as a complete set of matching headdresses and facial ornaments.
These items all exude a faint fragrance, as if telling of their nobility and extraordinaryness.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Yun Yuxi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. She carefully examined the white dress, and saw that its satin was as smooth as silk and as white as snow, just like a cloud floating down from the sky.
The bright red plum blossoms carefully embroidered on the clothes are dotted like stars, so lifelike that you can almost smell the elegant fragrance of the plum blossoms.
"By the way, Princess, the prince has instructed that tonight is just a celebratory banquet, so you don't need to wear the formal uniform of a princess. You just need to keep your usual attire." Yun Qian explained.
Yun Yuxi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what the prince meant. She was secretly glad that this would make her feel a lot more relaxed. After all, those complicated and cumbersome court etiquette and costumes often gave people a headache.
Afterwards, Yun Yuxi decided to let Yun Qian and Yun Xiao stay to help her change her clothes.
Although Banxia is also a considerate person, she is not really proficient in the ancient clothing culture which has many particularities; in comparison, Yun Qian and Yun Xiao are much more skilled.
With the help of the two, Yun Yuxi slowly put on the beautiful dress.
Every detail is handled just right, making the whole person look elegant and generous while also lively and agile. With the exquisite headwear and facial decorations, she looks even more radiant and bright.
Finally, Yun Yuxi showed a satisfied smile to the mirror and nodded slightly.
At this moment, her heart was filled with joy, as beautiful as a flower in full bloom in spring. She sat leisurely in the Nuanyu Pavilion, looking forward to the upcoming grand dinner with great joy.
Not long after, Chi Yan was seen carefully pushing Yan Wuque into Nuanyu Pavilion.
When the people caught a glimpse of Yan Wuque's clothes, they were surprised to find that what he was wearing matched Yun Yuxi's clothes perfectly! So, they couldn't help but cover their faces and laugh.
Yun Yuxi stared at Yan Wuque with an extremely complicated look. It seemed as if a warm current was flowing through her heart, instantly turning into a pool of spring water, which moved her deeply.
She really had not expected that Yan Wuque would be so considerate as to wear couple outfits with her.
"Yu'er, do you like this special gift from my princess?" Yan Wuque asked softly with a smile on his face, gazing at the bright and beautiful Yun Yuxi with gentle eyes.
"I like it very much. The prince has always had a unique vision. Let's set off now. I believe the palace banquet will soon begin." Yun Yuxi responded in a delicate voice.
Just like this, the two of them were like a perfect match made in heaven, holding each other's hands tightly. Chi Yan silently pushed Yan Wuque, and together they slowly walked towards the carriage parked outside the door.
At the same time, deep in the palace, after the Queen had carefully prepared this grand palace banquet, she finally got a rare moment of rest.
At this time, the maid beside her lowered her voice and reported quietly: "Your Majesty, the Queen, the Emperor and all the queens will attend the palace banquet tonight."
"It's okay. As His Majesty's concubines, they have to attend this kind of palace banquet. I asked you to order people to keep an eye on Concubine Shu to see if there is any progress."
"Empress, you are truly a master of prediction! Just as you guessed, the Imperial Concubine Shu is exactly the same as she was back then.
She is jealous by nature and cannot bear to see a new woman gain favor. However, in my opinion, her behavior does not require the Queen to personally take action. We just need to wait and see what happens and enjoy the fruits of her labor."
"Yes, after so many years, Concubine Shu is still extremely stupid. If it weren't for her prominent family background, I'm afraid she would have fallen out of favor long ago.
Back then, when your majesty first ascended the throne, your foundation was still shallow, and you really needed the support of those aristocratic families. But now, the situation is different, and your majesty may not indulge her as much as before."
"Your Highness, you are far-sighted. I admire you very much. But we can't let our guard down. After all, the power of the Fourth Prince cannot be underestimated.
So far, the emperor has not appointed a crown prince, which is like a sword hanging over our heads, making us feel uneasy. "
"Come here, dress me up. Also, send some people to secretly monitor. That bitch will definitely make some moves during the palace banquet tonight. Then, I just need to add fuel to the fire and stir things up."
Time flies. Even though the 40-year-old queen has taken good care of herself, she can't resist the erosion of time. She stared at herself in the mirror, slowly reached out her hand to touch her face, and asked softly, "How much of this skin care lotion is left?"
"Your Majesty, there is still half a bottle left." The maid replied softly, and carefully presented the bottle of skin care water to the Queen for her to take a look.
After the queen took the bottle and examined it carefully, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Well, it's true, this skin care water is indeed extraordinary! Yun Yuxi has been in the limelight recently and her reputation has spread far and wide. I don't want to have a head-on conflict with her at the moment.
Go and tell the Second Prince immediately not to provoke the Regent Palace again, lest unnecessary troubles arise. Also, ask the nanny to come in and help me dress up."
At the same time, all the favored concubines in the palace tried their best to dress themselves up carefully, just to attract the attention of Emperor Suwen at this banquet and win his favor and favor.
At this moment, the palace gate was already crowded with many luxurious carriages. For tonight's palace banquet, Emperor Suwen specifically ordered all ministers to bring their own sons and daughters to the banquet.
The intention is self-evident. It is obvious that he wanted to take this opportunity to warn and admonish the officials in the court.
Of course, the two sisters Yun Ruyan and Yun Jinxi were not absent from this event. They sat in the same carriage, but they were full of hostility towards each other. They refused to give in to each other and even attacked each other with bad words.
Others would never have imagined that the two sisters, who were once as close as siblings, would completely break up and become enemies because of a mere second prince.
