"Why can't you afford it? Look, you two have always been in better spirits than me. I don't look embarrassed when I wear clothes like this, but your two faces are perfectly matched by these clothes." Mo Xuetong said slightly. With a smile and a sincere look in her eyes, she walked over, picked up a piece of clothing and gestured in front of He Yufen, with a kind and gentle smile on her face, "The two Miss Hes are very beautiful. Wearing such clothes and entering the palace, they will definitely be more attractive. Concubine Zhao will also feel happy."
Hearing that Mo Xuetong specifically mentioned Zhao Fei, the vigilance in He Yufen's eyes slowly receded, replaced by a sense of pride. She glanced sideways at Mo Xuetong and snorted coldly in her heart. She didn't believe that Mo Xuetong didn't want to To please Concubine Zhao, the reason why she was so shameless towards the He family before was not because Concubine Zhao had no expression.
This time when I heard that my sisters could also enter the palace, I must have guessed that it was Concubine Zhao who was reaching out from behind and trying her best to please her. No wonder when I met my sisters today, Mo Xuetong looked flattering and smiled. He gave me clothes in a polite way, and it wasn't all because he had Concubine Zhao behind him.
He Yuxiu had already fallen in love with a dress. When He Yufen saw that he didn't say anything, she pointed at the dress rudely, pretending to be shy, and said to Mo Xuetong coquettishly: "Cousin, this dress is really beautiful. , the peony pattern surrounded by gold threads is really beautiful, I have never seen such beautiful clothes."
"Since the second lady likes it, I will give it to the second lady. This dress seems to match the second lady's skin color, and it matches those with fair skin." Mo Xuetong waved her hands generously, "Come on, Mo Lan takes the second lady out to dress up. one time."
"Yes, Second Miss, please come with me." Mo Lan packed up the clothes and smiled at He Yuxiu.
Hearing Mo Xuetong's praise and generous gift of clothes, He Yuxiu immediately nodded happily. Although she felt in her heart that this was Mo Xuetong's attempt to curry favor with Concubine Zhao, she did not forget to say politely: "Thank you, cousin, anyway. My sister-in-law loves me the most."
After saying that, there was no time to wait for He Yufen, and she went down to change clothes with Mo Lan. He Yufen secretly gritted her teeth in hatred, but she moved slower, and the most beautiful set of clothes fell into the hands of He Yuxiu, the set of clothes she had just bought. She was interested in it, and was thinking of using the name of Concubine Zhao to get it, but she didn't expect that He Yuxiu was one step ahead of her, so why not make her hate her.
I was filled with hatred in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face. Although my smile was still a little stiff, I was not reckless after all.
"Miss, what do you think of this outfit? This outfit paired with the peacock skirt will definitely make you look stunning after entering the palace. The eldest lady is such a gentle person, but this dress is just right." Mo Xuetong pointed to the other side with a smile. He recommended a set of clothes to He Yufen, "Oh, this sachet is not bad, but it seems to be from the second lady's set of clothes, but it matches this set of clothes very well."
The pink sachet was indeed very beautiful. It was placed on the edge of the peacock skirt and served as the finishing touch. He Yufen fell in love with it at first sight. Fortunately, He Yuxiu didn't see it when she was choosing. That was just right, so it was hers.
"This... I'm really sorry, how can I just ask for my cousin's clothes!" He Yufen's face was polite, but the greed in her eyes could not be concealed. She looked at the gold embroidery on it without blinking, and Mo Yu I believe that if I and the others were not here, Miss He would have rushed forward and held the clothes in her arms.
It's really ridiculous to hold back and still pretend to be calm at this time.
"What's so embarrassing about this? Miss He is dressed beautifully. When she sees Concubine Zhao, her face will be brightened." Mo Xuetong smiled affectionately.
It’s Concubine Zhao again, and she’s really afraid of Concubine Zhao!
Unexpectedly, Mo Xuetong would be so timid, and all he said was Concubine Zhao. After entering the palace, as long as Concubine Zhao stood behind him, Mo Xuetong would not be afraid. He Yufen immediately felt in a good mood, and suddenly felt that he could not see Go to Mo Xuetong, since this is the case, there is no need to be too polite. Mo Xuetong must be afraid that he will speak ill of her in front of Concubine Zhao, so she is trying her best to please herself. In this case, don't do it in vain, and be too slow. Shameless He Yuxiu came out, and he couldn't help but fell in love with this trick again. When the time came, he really wanted to cry and had nowhere to go.
"Thank you, cousin." He Yufen no longer pretended to be reserved this time, and raised her hand at Mo Xuetong with a proud face, her behavior was very scornful.
This time it was Mo Yu who took her down to change clothes.
After a while, both of them changed their clothes. He Yuxiu wore a red and pink gauze with green lines and gold strands all over, with a light pink skirt underneath, a string of necklaces hanging on her chest, and her fallen hair combed into a The palace attire is very provocative, and the makeup and eyebrows are painted on, making her look like a bride about to get married.
On the other side, He Yufen is wearing a light green peacock skirt with gold embroidery, a gauze jacket of the same color, a green pearl and jade belt with small tassels around her waist, several jade pendants, and a pink sachet. , wearing jingle bells when walking, it is extremely crisp and sweet. Before anyone arrives, the faint fragrance bursts out, which is very pleasing to the eye.
The two of them were equally beautiful walking together like this, but the movement of the jade pendant and sachet added a bit of charm to He Yufen, which immediately compared him to He Yuxiu.
"Miss He is really good-looking. If she is favored by that noble man, she will not be able to achieve success." Mo Yu clapped her hands and praised her.
Even though He Yufen was proud of being praised in front of so many people, it must be because he was an unmarried daughter. She lowered her head shyly and happened to not see the cold jealousy that could not be concealed in He Yuxiu's eyes.
The Empress Dowager's Cining Palace is very lively today. Not only is the Jade Concubine who is pregnant with Liujia, but also the concubine Zhao who is the most beloved in the harem, the Princess of Chu Ling Ruier, the Princess of Yan You Yue'e, the wife of the Duke of Ming Dynasty Ling Mingyan, and The daughters and ladies of some aristocratic families can be said to be as beautiful as clouds, and their sweet words can be heard in their ears.
When Mo Xuetong arrived, the Queen Mother invited her to go to the main hall. When she arrived at the main hall, she saw the Queen Mother sitting in the center, with kind eyes and kind eyes, and she was in good spirits, but she did not look like she was dying of illness as rumored outside.
Sitting on the left side is Concubine Jade, her belly is already showing. She is wearing a goose-yellow pomegranate skirt. She has beautiful eyes and is talking to the Queen Mother with a smile. From time to time, the Queen Mother laughs with joy.
On the right side of the Queen Mother is Concubine Zhao. She is wearing a light green dress. Compared with Concubine Yu's plump body with a child, Concubine Zhao looks a bit softer, and she is charming and smiling. , but she looks very amiable, but she doesn’t have the arrogance of being the exclusive favorite of the harem for ten years.
Chatting and joking with the Queen Mother on the side, and adding a word from time to time can also get a hint of smile from the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother, Concubine Jade, Concubine Zhao, it can be said that apart from the Queen and Noble Su, these two are the best candidates among the most popular women in the harem.
Look at the ladies in this palace. Miss, half of the aristocratic families in the court are involved!
The Queen Mother, who has always been quiet and hidden behind the scenes, made this happen, which is quite suspicious.
"Give Princess Xuan a seat." After Mo Xuetong saw the ceremony, the Queen Mother smiled and called for someone to give her a seat. Mo Xuetong sat aside with a smile.
After everyone had almost arrived, the Queen Mother revealed the reason why she specially summoned everyone to the palace today. She said that she wanted to get together with young people. In fact, she wanted to use everyone's ideas to help think about how to help the emperor celebrate his sixtieth birthday.
In previous years, on the emperor's birthday, the queen was in charge of the palace, but now that the queen is in poor health, this matter falls on the queen mother. In previous years, preparations inside and outside the palace started a month in advance, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs even tried their best to think of ways to negotiate. The emperor was happy, but he only had a few items here and there, and it didn't necessarily make him happy.
The Queen Mother took over the job this year and was wondering if she could do it differently, so she called all the young ladies from various families here just to listen to the young people's opinions.
"All of you here are ladies from various families. Miss, even the three princesses were asked by me to come up with ideas. You are all young people with long ideas. Please help the Ai family think carefully and see if there are any new ideas. , Let the Emperor have more fun." The Queen Mother sat on it and smiled, her eyes sweeping over the people present.

To celebrate the emperor's birthday and think of some fresh recipes, it is really suspicious to announce the entry of young ladies and ladies from aristocratic families in such a big way. Although Mo Xuetong didn't know what the Queen Mother's motives were, she still smiled and stayed with her. Anyway, among the ladies in the palace, she was considered young.
Simply pretend not to understand and just wait and see how things develop.
Looking up at the many ladies and ladies below, she saw two familiar faces inside. As expected, the He sisters came out of their Prince Xuan Mansion and hurried into the palace. They were even more beautiful than themselves. Arrive a little early.
Hearing the Queen Mother asking for advice, the young ladies and ladies immediately started chattering and giving advice to the Queen Mother.
The hall was very lively for a while.
At the end of the discussion, Ling Ruier specially made a list for the Queen Mother, with no less than forty or fifty items. As expected, there is strength in numbers, and Mo Xuetong pretended not to understand, while pretending that she didn't understand. Just keep a smile on your side.
But some people just couldn't see her kindness. Sure enough, after a while, Ling Ruier turned to her with a smile and said, "Princess Xuan has always been smart and smart, why don't you help the Queen Mother with advice?"
It was as if Mo Xuetong deliberately disgraced the Queen Mother by saying this.
Although the Queen Mother sitting on it was still smiling and talking to Concubine Yu, her eyes swept over Mo Xuetong vaguely.
Mo Xuetong raised her head under the Queen Mother's glance, smiled at Ling Rui'er, and said with some shame: "Princess Chu is joking, how can I understand this? This is the first time I have heard someone talk about the emperor's birthday banquet. When I was in Yuncheng before, I only heard about the emperor's birthday banquet, which was extremely gorgeous. But when I hear it here today, I just feel that the ladies and ladies all have good ideas, but they can't tell the difference."
As she spoke, her slightly childish white face showed a bit of uneasiness, and she looked a bit embarrassed to be asked.
The Queen Mother sitting above her eyes became more and more scrutinizing and deep.
Mo Xuetong came from Yuncheng and had never been favored before. Then she rose to great heights when she returned to the capital. First she caught the eyes of the eldest princess and became the princess of Anping. Then she married into Prince Xuan's palace in the name of happiness. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky. Suddenly, Prince Xuan, who was said to be on the verge of death, actually got better.
Then, the always romantic and dissolute Prince Xuan Feng Jueran actually wanted to turn around. Not only did he drive all the women in the backyard together, he even had the intention of doting on his own. Even the affairs in the court were no longer the same as before. He shook his head and walked away when he mentioned it, and even helped the emperor start governing.
She has changed so much. Is she really just a little girl who knows nothing and is extremely lucky
"Princess Xuan, you don't have to be polite. Today we are just talking about the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren. If you have any good ideas, just tell them. You must let the Ai family know what good ideas Princess Xuan has. Young people always have many ideas. The elderly people in the Ai family are much brighter." The Queen Mother sat on it and looked at Mo Xuetong kindly and smiled.
Ling Ruier responded with a smile this time: "How can the Queen Mother have aged? Now she looks like a sister to me. Last time, the Queen Mother's father also said that the Queen Mother's appearance remains the same as when she was visiting for relatives. How can she be different?" Older."
This was to show off the relationship between the Queen Mother and Duke Dingguo. The ladies and ladies approached and immediately flattered Ling Ruier's words. (To be continued)
