Chapter 396 What's so arrogant about her?
After a while, Xiao Cui finally returned.
"Miss, Madam said that Butterfly Pavilion will send your clothes over later..."
"Okay, go and bring in breakfast!"
After Xiao Cui went out, she saw Lian Qiao standing to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
"what's up?"
Because of Liu Shuning's abduction, Madam Liu blamed Lian Qiao for failing to take good care of her daughter.
So Madam Liu sold her to a brokerage firm, and she was only redeemed after Liu Shuning returned.
After all, compared to the simple-minded and clumsy Xiao Cui, Lian Qiao is more convenient to use.
“Young lady, I remember there were several beautiful dresses in the trunk you brought back when you came back.”
The fabric and craftsmanship of those clothes are probably more than ten times better than the new garments made by Yu Die Fang, aren't they?
Hearing Lian Qiao say this, Liu Shuning glanced at the chest in the corner.
That was a dress specially made for her by the eldest princess. It is said that it took many embroiderers to finish making it, and it was made with the finest gold thread.
Without a doubt, that is the most suitable.
However, thinking about what the eldest princess had done to her, Liu Shuning couldn't help but feel unhappy.
"Miss, there will surely be many noble ladies attending the palace banquet today. If you dress well, I'm afraid the prince will take a second look at you, won't he?"
Lianqiao knew her mistress's feelings for the prince, so she encouraged him.
Liu Shuning glanced at the maid.
Lianqiao is right.
The noble ladies at tomorrow's palace banquet will surely be dressed in their finest attire.
If she dresses casually, she might be outshone.
Moreover, the Emperor has already issued an imperial edict ordering Wu Weiwei to attend the palace banquet.
My body is already in such a state; if I dress worse than her, wouldn't I just become a laughingstock?
Not for the sake of becoming the heir apparent, but simply to prove herself, she couldn't be inferior to Wu Weiwei.
"Lianqiao, bring me that dress made of golden raindrops, I want to try it on!"
Seeing that Liu Shuning listened to her advice, Lian Qiao happily went over to get her clothes.
Soon, a charming beauty appeared in the mirror.
"Forsythia, am I beautiful?"
Although this is no longer her own face, Liu Shuning still hopes to receive affirmation from others regarding her appearance.
"Beautiful, our young lady is the most beautiful!"
Lianqiao praised from the side.
"Ha ha……"
Lian Qiao had never seen her former self, so she could only say nice things to flatter her.
However, as long as she can marry Lu Hanting as she wishes, she doesn't care about that physical appearance.
Qingsong Courtyard.
"Your Highness, I heard that in addition to the envoys from various countries, the Emperor has also invited Consort Wu to the palace banquet..."
Ru Feng reported the information she had received to Lu Hanting.
"Ah."
Seeing that the prince only responded softly and showed no signs of his usual reaction, Ru Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Logically, the Crown Prince should have been excited to learn that Consort Wu was attending the palace banquet, but he wasn't today.
What's strange is that since returning from Lingjiu Mountain, the Crown Prince has suddenly become more somber.
Especially these past few days, he has locked himself in his study after court sessions. If it weren't for the fact that the Crown Prince eats and sleeps normally, Ru Feng would have thought that the Crown Prince had gone mad.
"Ru Feng, do you believe in reincarnation?"
Lu Hanting squinted at Ru Feng, his voice sounding somewhat unnatural.
Upon hearing the prince's question, Ru Feng was speechless.
What's wrong with the young master? He used to be the least believer in fate and cause and effect, so why would he ask him such a question now?
"Cough cough..."
Ru Feng cleared his throat and replied, "Your Highness, I have heard that people are reincarnated."
"But you won't know that until you're dead, will you?"
He didn't believe in this stuff; after all, he was just an ordinary person.
"is it?"
So, Yan'er has indeed been reincarnated.
And they were so lucky that they were resurrected in the body of Miss Liu.
Hearing the young master muttering to himself, Ru Feng assumed that he was having a hysterical fit after being attacked by Consort Wu.
"Ru Feng, prepare my horse; I need to leave the city!"
The palace was bustling with activity today, as ministers and their families took their seats in the places arranged for them by the eunuchs.
As soon as Wu Weiwei's carriage arrived at the palace gate, she heard exclamations from outside.
"Miss Liu, your outfit is so beautiful, especially the material, my goodness! It's even made of marigold silk..."
"Miss Liu, did Mrs. Liu specially order this for you?"
Another young lady asked in surprise.
Seeing the surprised look in Zhang's daughter's eyes, Liu Shuning felt smug.
However, she casually remarked, "It's just so-so!"
However, this wasn't ordered by my mother; it was a gift from a relative of hers…
"Wow, your mother's relative must be a wealthy and powerful local gentry! I've heard that this gold thread is incredibly rare, I never imagined they'd be willing to have it made into a garment for you..."
With Wanqiu's help, Wu Weiwei stepped down from the carriage. She merely nodded politely to the young ladies gathered at the palace gate.
Liu Shuning, who had spotted Wu Weiwei's carriage long ago, noticed that Wu was wearing her usual clothes when she got out of the carriage.
She deliberately raised her voice and replied, "My relative does love me, and even said she wanted to adopt me as her goddaughter, but I refused..."
Doesn't the eldest princess dote on her?
He went to great lengths to tailor new clothes for her.
Liu Shuning deliberately spoke so loudly because she wanted to make Wu Weiwei jealous.
To her surprise, Wu Weiwei simply smiled faintly at her and turned to walk towards the palace.
"Hmph, she's just a small-time businesswoman, what does she have to be proud of!"
The first noblewoman, surnamed Su, scoffed.
They all knew that Liu Shuning's marriage to Lu Dushi was a done deal, so pleasing Liu Shuning was tantamount to pleasing the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.
"Yes! Wu Weiwei is just a woman who was abandoned by Commander Lu. Compared to Miss Liu, who is about to marry into the Marquis's mansion, she must be resentful!"
"That's right, Miss Liu, just ignore her. She's definitely just jealous of you..."
Even she herself envied Liu Shuning. Although she was injured and unable to have sex, she could still marry into the Marquis's mansion and marry Commander Lu. That would be incredibly fortunate.
Hearing the compliments from the noble ladies, Liu Shuning felt much better.
snort!
Wu Weiwei is just a businesswoman; since ancient times, businessmen have never been able to defeat officials.
Even if she is rich and is a royal merchant of the Great Wei Dynasty, so what?
If she really wanted to die, it would be a matter of the emperor's word.
This scene was witnessed by Shao Zhan, who was later in the carriage. He looked at the figure that was about to disappear ahead and a sense of understanding flashed through his mind.
It turns out that she was not unmarried, but a concubine who had been divorced and dismissed by Lu Hanting.
Luo Yazhen, who had just stepped off the carriage, curled her lips into a sarcastic smile.
Compared to her lofty princess status, Wu Weiwei was nothing more than a discarded concubine whom men didn't want!
Moreover, it was something that the noble ladies of the capital would despise.
So, what else does Wu Weiwei have to be arrogant about?
