The celebration banquet was held in the evening, and this afternoon, the inner courtyard of the Royal Palace was already in chaos.
The reason is the same. Because the two masters have not returned for many years, the clothes in the mansion are outdated. The celebration banquet that the two masters are going to attend is very grand and the time is very tight.
Chu Qingyan sat in the room, tapping her fingers on the table, thinking a little.
"Master, is it okay to buy clothes so urgently?" Xiaoxi stood aside, slightly puzzled.
Jasper also looked at her master, waiting for her answer.
Chu Qingyan frowned slightly, the clothes prepared hastily were of course not as good as those carefully prepared by others. It's a pity that she mostly wears men's clothes when she walks outside this time, so that she also ignores the need for women's clothes in Beijing. She has not been in the palace for many years, and she has grown a lot, and she can't wear her previous clothes. .
In fact, she is not someone who pays attention to dress, but this palace banquet is her first appearance in Beijing. It is also the large-scale occasion she and Da Bingcuo have attended together for so many years. She can be outstanding, but she can't Lost the face of a large ice cube.
It's just that this matter can't be rushed.
"Xiaoxi, go down and see first, have the people who went out come back?" Chu Qingyan asked Xiaoxi to inquire.
After Xiaoxi went down, Jasper said, "Master, you can compare with those officials in whatever clothes you wear. Don't worry, it's a big deal, we can wear one casually, and we can also overwhelm the crowd."
Jasper's idea is sometimes very simple, like the sword in her hand, fast, accurate, and without any fancy.
Chu Qingyan shook his head and explained with a chuckle, "Jasper, have you ever heard a sentence? Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes have their own rules. If we step into the rivers and lakes, we must abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes. "
She smiled and stared at Jasper, and continued, "Kyoto is like a very complicated river and lake. The women here dress up and the men play and play, all of which have their own style. We can be different from them, but we can't be too much. Unique and eye-catching, if we're going to be low profile and unnoticed."
She doesn't mind being unique, but she doesn't want to cause trouble. The more dazzling and dazzling people are, the more unusual people are, and it is easy to attract people's attention. What she has to do now is to dangle in front of people and hide in the dark silently.
She doesn't have the desire to compete for beauty, nor the ambition to fight for power and profit, so all she can do is to regard herself as an unremarkable, but there is a sense of presence of the British princess.
Jasper seemed to understand her words, but Chu Qingyan didn't ask her to understand it thoroughly. For some things, she had to experience her own words before she could deeply understand the meaning of her words.
Xiaoxi didn't wait for him, but a big ice cube that walked gracefully.
"Why are you here?" Chu Qingyan stood up in surprise. It was almost time to enter the palace. Big Ice Cube should have a lot of important things to do.
Xiao Xu did not answer her immediately, but beckoned behind him, only to see Huo Ling, who was following behind him, walking in front of her with a long dark ebony box in hand.
"This is?" Chu Qingyan looked at the box with confusion.
"Little Wangfei, can't you just open it and see?" Huo Ling said with a smile.
She turned her head to look at the big ice cube, and saw the encouragement with a faint smile in his eyes, she nodded, and then reached out to open the lid of the box.
The first thing that catches the eye is a full eye of pink, and then a golden and silver hollow butterfly falls on it, lifelike, like a butterfly falling on a peach blossom.
Chu Qingyan was immediately attracted by the contents of the box, she was a little surprised, "This is for me?"
Seeing the joy in her eyes, such a simple happiness, Xiao Xu couldn't help but curl his lips, walked in front of her, and smiled softly, "This is from Shui Ling, knowing that you are going to attend the palace banquet tonight, specially prepared, you first Go and see if it fits, she's in the study, if it doesn't fit, you can send it to her for correction later."
"Shui Ling is really an emergency Bodhisattva, I'm sure I can rest assured about her vision, but I didn't expect that she knows how to change clothes, she's really versatile!" Chu Qingyan took the box and handed it over to Jasper, her tone exclaimed in amazement.
"Although Shui Ling is the only woman among our Seven Spirits, she is not weaker than our men at all. Whether it is martial arts, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, she is proficient in everything. It's not a problem to sew clothes." Huo Ling smiled. praised.
Chu Qingyan couldn't help expressing her admiration for Shui Ling. She was really a strange woman, but her mood suddenly became a little sad. If Feng Ling was still alive back then, how wonderful it would be!
She quickly restrained her sadness, and then under the signal of the big ice cube, she took her clothes and went inside to change.
Xiao Xu found a place in the room to sit down. He returned to Beijing in the past two days. He needed to arrange various matters in the army. There were also various events in the city. He didn't have much time to rest. In the room with the little guy's breath, he relaxed all of a sudden, felt comfortable all over, and couldn't help closing his eyes and resting.
After half a cup of tea, he heard footsteps stepping on the ground and slowly opened his eyes.
On the ground, there was a pair of shoes with red and purple flowers embroidered on the white background. When she stood still, the layered skirt covered a large part, only the toe of the shoe was exposed. The thin gauze skirt was covered with peach branches and green leaves. The pink flowers are not scattered, but are in large clusters, and there are butterflies flying. Peach Blossom, the whole person looks, both pure and beautiful, and charming and pretty, pink like fire, moving.
Further up, there was that beautiful face. At this moment, she looked at him for some unknown reason, waiting anxiously and expectantly for his evaluation.
Lovely dark red reflects light red.
"How is it, does it look good?" She pinched the corner of her skirt and turned around in front of him, her eyes bright.
Xiao Xu was stunned, and when he heard her words, he came back to his senses, and suddenly had a headache, "I don't want you to dress like this to the palace banquet."
Although he didn't hear his face-to-face evaluation, Chu Qingyan saw surprise and appreciation in his absent-minded eyes, and his heart was as sweet as a honey pot.
But this dress is really suitable for her. When she looked in the mirror just now, she felt that Shui Ling's eyes were very good, and she immediately saw the advantages of her body, and everything was reflected incisively and vividly.
only-
"Otherwise, I'd better change it!" She didn't want to be too conspicuous.
At this time, a pair of hands were placed on her shoulders, and she said in an unquestioning tone, "Wear it, why don't you wear it? My Xiao Xu's woman, what's so shameful!"
