Xiao Yichen said, "Why are you all standing? Let's eat." Then he sat down first.
Ji Lingxue was quite thick-skinned. She pushed aside Ji Yuqing who was planning to sit next to Xiao Yichen, sat down, and ordered the two of them to set the plates and serve the food.
Ji Yuqing was so angry that her face turned pale. She wanted to complain, but she saw Xiao Yichen holding Ji Lingxue's hand, as if to warn her that Ji Lingxue was under his protection.
Ji Yuqing's face was pale and she didn't eat much for breakfast. She said she was not feeling well and went back to her room.
Zi Su stood beside Xiao Yichen and served him his meal. She looked up and watched Ji Yuqing's lonely figure leave with her lips slightly pursed.
Ji Lingxue pulled her hand out of Xiao Yichen's palm, took out a handkerchief and wiped it. Her mysophobic look made Xiao Yichen, who was disgusted by her, frown.
Xiao Yichen coughed and said, "I will go to a poetry gathering later, please accompany me."
Ji Lingxue poked the bowl of porridge in front of her with a spoon and said, "I'm tired and want to have a good beauty sleep."
Xiao Yichen: "It's quite comfortable to sleep in the carriage. Let me lend you my shoulder to lean on."
Ji Lingxue curled her lips in disdain.
Xiao Yichen: "The princess has agreed. Come, help her wash and dress up."
Two unfamiliar maids came from somewhere, walked up to the two of them, bowed respectfully, and asked Ji Lingxue to follow them.
Ji Lingxue refused: "I'm used to Mo Xiang serving me."
Xiao Yichen said, "They were carefully trained by the prince. They are proficient in clothing matching and can comb hundreds of hair styles. They are no worse than the maid Mo Xiang. You two should serve the princess well. If the princess is not satisfied, you should not stay in the palace."
Ji Lingxue looked at the two maids who had heavy responsibilities, sighed, put down the spoon, stood up and followed them away.
Watching Ji Lingxue's leaving figure, Xiao Yichen's lips curled up into a faint smile.
Zi Su said, "Your Majesty, the princess didn't eat much just now, so I will prepare some snacks for you to take with you for safety."
Xiao Yichen nodded, and glanced at the sensible Zi Su, "Okay, go get ready."
Zi Su lowered her head and retreated, with deep jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Ji Lingxue was brought into a side room. The table in the room was filled with all kinds of jewelry. The door of the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe was open, and it was filled with sets of exquisite satin skirts with beautiful embroidery. Hanging on a hanger in the corner was a lavender skirt embroidered with cranes, which was extremely elegant.
Ji Lingxue asked: "Are the clothes and accessories in this room taken from an entire store?" This is too exaggerated. No matter how rich the palace is, there is no need to be so extravagant on clothes and accessories, right
One of the maids replied: "The prince specially asked us to prepare it. The prince said that the princess's clothes should be decent."
The corner of Ji Lingxue's mouth twitched. Was he implying that she had not dressed decently enough in the past and had embarrassed Prince Chen, so he moved a store of clothes and jewelry to show her to the world
Ji Lingxue said: "Isn't it up to me to decide what to wear today?"
The maids nodded, and each of them took out a dress and showed it to Ji Lingxue. The maid said, "Princess, do you think this dress I'm holding is pretty? This dress is slim-fitting and has a high waist design. It can perfectly show your figure."
The second maid said, "Princess, this one in my hand is made of natural silk. The fabric is thin, breathable, waterproof and stain-resistant. The design is also very novel and unique. Look at the white crane embroidered on the sleeve. It is made of the finest silk. In addition, the white crane symbolizes good luck and longevity. Its pure white body embodies the pure elegance of the white goose and also represents good luck and good fortune."
Ji Lingxue looked left and right, pointed at the pale purple white crane skirt and said, "I will wear this one."
Ji Lingxue looked at herself in the bronze mirror and smiled with satisfaction. She had to admit that the two maids arranged by Xiao Yichen had a good sense of dressing. The herself in the mirror was dignified and generous, showing all the beauty of a woman.
The second maid took a comb and helped Ji Lingxue comb her long hair. She couldn't help but sighed, "The princess is so beautiful. If the prince saw her, he would probably regret bringing the princess out." She covered her mouth and laughed.
Ji Lingxue was teased and looked very "awkward". Did she seem to be so charming? Besides, she had no interest in seducing Xiao Yichen.
When Xiao Yichen was pacing back and forth in front of the carriage, Ji Lingxue came out holding up the hem of her skirt. Xiao Yichen turned around when he heard the voice. The glance back at that moment was unforgettable in his life. It was obviously the most familiar face, but she changed into a gorgeous dress and was dazzling, like a fairy fallen into the mortal world.
Ji Lingxue walked up to Xiao Yichen and waved at him, "What's wrong with you!"
Xiao Yichen withdrew his gaze, and he was speechless that his beautiful beauty was broken.
"Let's go." After saying that, he turned and got on the carriage.
Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows, stroked her face, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.
