Liu Jingyu stood next to Madam Qi, which was considered to be a corner position among the main guests, which made her closer to the large silver candlestick.
The candles on the candlesticks flickered, making the dark patterns on her clothes even brighter.
The clothes she had just changed into were a dark green set. The top and skirt were from the same set. The dark green color made her look calm and solemn, but in the details, it had a hint of light pink, adding a bit of liveliness of a little girl. This was a set of clothes that Liu Jingyu liked more.
A belt of the same color is tied around the waist, and every step looks like a lotus flower as she walks.
But as she stood next to the candlestick, many people saw the flying phoenix pattern on her dress, which was clearly visible on the clothes and lifelike under the light.
This is clearer and bigger than what Qu Moying Huasheng saw.
Everyone who glanced at Liu Jingyu saw this scene.
The old princess was about to reprimand Qu Moying, but was pulled back by someone next to her. She turned around and saw the pattern on Liu Jingyu's body.
At this moment, the old princess almost fainted from fright. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Liu Jingyu with trembling hands, "County Lord... what... do you want to do?"
If the Huasheng on Qu Moying's head can be explained as the ornaments sent by the Prince of Ying's Palace being used first, then the one on Liu Jingyu's body is the phoenix robe.
Even if she is the Crown Princess, she cannot wear the phoenix robe for the time being. It is impossible for the Crown Prince to prepare a phoenix robe for her as a betrothal gift.
That was something she did herself, and it was a dark pattern. It might not have been visible in the past, but now it is clearly visible under the light.
The old princess only regretted why she did not refuse the King of England's request at that time, otherwise she would not have to face such a difficult situation.
Liu Jingyu was feeling proud when she heard the old princess ask this. A smile appeared in her eyes, but then she realized something was wrong and her heart started to panic. Why were all people looking at her? Shouldn't they be looking at Qu Moying who was being scolded by the old princess
Qu Moying held Yu Dong's hand and slowly stood up, looking at Liu Jingyu who was full of surprise. The pride on her face froze in an instant, but many people still saw it.
Madam Qi also saw the phoenix image on the Huasheng on Qu Moying's head and frowned tightly. She didn't understand what was going on. She originally wanted to wait until the ceremony was over before asking Qu Moying what was going on. Now that she saw the old princess actually scolding her granddaughter, she said unhappily: "Princess, what happened to Yu'er?"
"Madam, just take a look at her... and you'll know, right?" The old princess took a breath and said in a low voice.
Madam Qi turned her head and looked at Liu Jingyu. She found that her makeup was very good and there was nothing wrong with it. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is there anything wrong with Yu'er?"
"Phoenix robe." The old princess said with a sullen face. This matter was no longer something she could decide.
Madam Qi turned her head and saw Liu Jingyu's clothes, and the phoenix dancing in the wind on it. She gasped in shock. Even though she didn't know much about the rumors about Feng Xi Tianxia, this phoenix robe was not something that anyone could wear. In the harem, only the Empress could wear such a phoenix robe.
The most that other concubines had was a phoenix head embroidered on the corners.
"Jingyu...you...where did you get this dress?" Madam Qi asked in a trembling voice.
"My clothes?" Liu Jingyu then noticed that everyone was talking about her clothes. She lowered her head subconsciously and immediately saw the phoenix clearly under the light. Her legs went weak and she almost fell down.
“This… this is really
What a disgrace! You should go and explain to the Queen Mother..." The old princess said angrily, pointing at Liu Jingyu, her body softened, and she actually fainted.
For a moment, everyone was in chaos.
Liu Jingyu's face turned pale, and he stared at his clothes in amazement. He then pointed at Qu Moying, and also couldn't say a word.
"Jingyu, what's going on?" Madam Qi was very anxious and asked angrily.
"Grandma... someone wanted to harm me, yes... yes... wanted to harm me. My clothes were wet by the maid from Qu's mansion before, and I changed them later." Liu Jingyu grabbed Madam Qi's hand and glared at Qu Moying hatefully.
"Miss Qu Si, what's going on?" Madam Qi patted Liu Jingyu's hand soothingly, turned around with a cold look, and asked in a low voice, completely standing on Liu Jingyu's side.
"Madam Qi, the clothes were prepared by County Lady Jingyu herself, right? What does this have to do with our house?" Although Madam Qu was not as powerful as Madam Qi, she couldn't help but stand up to defend her granddaughter.
"But if I wasn't a maid in your house... I... why would I change into such clothes." Liu Jingyu was very angry. She felt that Qu Moying must have been involved in this, but she couldn't find where the mistake was, so she could only blame Qu Moying.
"Please forgive us for not accepting your words. The maid can be punished for causing trouble, but it is impossible for the maid to change the clothes of the county lord. Could it be that the county lord means that if the maid of the Qu Mansion had not had this accident, the county lord's clothes would not be worn at this time and would not be discovered?"
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jingyu calmly. His eyes were as clear as glass, but with a hint of sarcasm that Liu Jingyu could understand.
But the next moment, her long eyelashes fluttered, hiding the mockery in her eyes.
"You... Grandmother... They are the ones who hurt me!" Liu Jingyu's eyes turned red, and she didn't care about her dignified and generous appearance at this time, and tears fell.
The hall was in chaos.
A eunuch's sharp voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Our prince said that if something serious happened inside, please come to the palace to explain."
The eunuch's voice suddenly came out, and everyone in the flower hall immediately quieted down. Everyone turned around and looked at the door. Sure enough, a eunuch was standing at the door. He glanced at the women in the flower hall with a gloomy look and said again: "Those who should go to the palace should go to the palace, and those who should not go to the palace should stay. This is the fourth lady Qu's coming-of-age ceremony. If anyone deliberately disrupts it, our prince will not forgive them easily."
When his gaze swept over them, everyone felt a chill run down their spine. No one dared to speak nonsense anymore, and everyone guessed that this person must be the King of England.
It is normal for the King of England's people to appear here. After all, this is the fourth lady of the Qu family's coming-of-age ceremony. I heard that the first coming-of-age dress was provided by the King of England's palace.
The eunuch waved his hand, and two more eunuchs came out from behind him, walked over to help the old princess up, and patted her back gently a few times. The old princess finally recovered.
"Princess, our prince means that this matter can only be explained clearly in the palace."
The eunuch stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Your prince is here too?" The old princess was delighted. She was a leisurely relative and really didn't want to get involved in such matters.
"Our prince is not here, but he should be here soon. Please, Princess, our prince should be coming to the palace soon." The eunuch said in a sharp voice.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace first." The old princess nodded and looked at Liu.
