Chapter 79 Palace Costume (Completed)

Jiang Xuening stayed up all night and only thought about attending classes at the Fengchen Palace at dawn, forcing herself to forget the discomfort caused by the palace and take a nap.

But not for an hour.

The more royal it is, the more strict the rules are. Sleeping in is something that Jiang Xuening can do in the mansion, but Shen Zhiyi can't do in the palace. For many years, after living in the palace, when she got up, she didn't even need to be called by palace maids. She opened her eyes and stood up to be attended to by palace attendants for washing and dressing, which was obviously already a habit.

She cried and let out a lot last night. This morning, except for a slight swelling in her eyes, she regained her usual vitality.

She not only washes herself, but also commands the palace people to serve Jiang Xuening.

Jiang Xuening didn't sleep well the night before yesterday, and after struggling last night, she became even more tired. However, it was difficult for Shen Zhiyi to regain her cheerful appearance and show any signs, which ruined her rare good mood. He forcefully ignored the tense sensation emanating from the temples on both sides, with a smile on his lips as he spoke to Shen Zhiyi and accepted the attention of the palace attendants.

The palace attendants in Yangzhi Zhai do not serve daily life.

But Jiang Xuening was a empress in her previous life, so she didn't feel uncomfortable being served by the palace people. Just as she naturally handed the brocade back to the palace maid's hand and instinctively waved her hand to ask them to step back, a chill surged up from under her feet, making her shudder.

Shen Zhiyi hasn't noticed anything unusual yet.

The female official serving in the dormitory glanced at Jiang Xuening, but asked her somewhat awkwardly, "Your Highness, last night you took the initiative to stay in the palace with Jiang Companion for a while, but the palace people have not yet gone to Yangzhi Zhai to retrieve the clothes and dresses that Jiang Companion often wears. I don't know now..."

What should I wear?

Shen Zhiyi also turned around and saw that Jiang Xuening was standing there wearing only a snow-white coat, with a beautiful face facing the sky. She had just woken up, feeling a bit sickly and lethargic, much like the sickly beauties in the paintings of officials.

It's really beautiful.

Her eyes couldn't help but brighten, and she immediately turned to the female official and said, "Ning Ning is about the same size as me, so it would be best to wear mine! Come on, Ning Ning, I will choose the best outfit for you!"

Jiang Xuening:???

She was still thinking about the pampering habit she had developed in the Kunning Palace, without even paying attention to what they were saying. Before she could react, she was already pulled by Shen Zhiyi and sitting in front of the makeup mirror.

Next, let's listen to Shen Zhiyi's left and right greetings.

At one moment, she called out to the palace maid to draw her eyebrows, at another moment, she called out to the palace maid to bring back a new set of palace attire, and personally opened her own dowry, such as ruby earrings and cloisonn é bracelets, all gesturing towards Jiang Xuening.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but laugh and cry for a moment, feeling that Shen Zhiyi was like a little girl who suddenly got a doll. She had to dress up beautifully before she would give up.

She was a bit tired, so she didn't have the energy to stop her.

Just stand up and sit down for a while, let her play with it.

Shen Zhiyi changed into another pair of earrings and gestured on her earlobe, feeling that only her slender neck and snow-white skin could hold on to the faint purple glass, which was as light as smoke. It was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.

Just looking at her, her previously flying eyebrows and eyes drooped.

Jiang Xuening caught a glimpse and asked her, "Isn't it good-looking?"

Shen Zhiyi put down her hand and didn't shift her gaze from her, but she felt a little more heartbroken: "It looks good, but it's just too good. I can't help but think about it. With your non competitive nature, you will still be calculated in the palace. If Yan Lin disappears in the future, who should protect you?"

Jiang Xuening was speechless.

Shen Zhiyi, however, began to ponder strangely and seriously. Her eyes rolled around, and then she lit up and asked her, "What do you think of my brother Wang?"

Shen Jie?!

Jiang Xuening's eyelids twitched, and she immediately remembered the trajectory of her previous life's fate. Without hesitation, she immediately said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, the Prince of Linzi, is naturally elegant and generous. Xuening's humble body only wants a peaceful life. You can't be joking."

Shen Zhiyi was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with my brother Wang?"

Jiang Xuening thought to herself, "Your brother Wang is good everywhere, but he's not suitable for me.".

Shen Zhiyi was very excited when she thought of this incident. The palace was full of her people, and she didn't fear being heard by others. She squatted directly in front of her and said, "Really, Ning Ning. I heard from my mother and the emperor that she will soon select a concubine for my prince. If you can become my prince's princess, he will most likely be appointed as the emperor's younger brother and will also live in the palace in the future.". So you can live in the palace, wouldn't you be able to live with me every day, see me every day, eat, play, and sleep together

Both of her eyes were sparkling.

Jiang Xuening remembered how sincere Shen Zhiyi had been to her in this life. She had a heart to refuse directly, but when she looked at such a gaze, she couldn't quite say it.

But if I don't explain it clearly

The incident of mistakenly entering the palace to accompany her, despite not presenting her name and surname, once again came to her mind, followed by the experiences she had experienced after entering the palace and the events that would happen in the future.

She was really scared and tired.

Having experienced the prosperity of the previous life, Jiang Xuening really doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

She suddenly looked back at Shen Zhiyi with an unprecedentedly serious gaze, gently took out the string of purple glass earrings from her hand, put them back on her dowry, and said, "Snow Ning was summoned to the palace by His Highness without exception. There were many twists and turns in the middle, and I believe His Highness knows better than me. His Highness should also be aware that the person who was first reported to the palace by the Jiang Mansion was not me. He was able to gain His Highness's blue eyes and be ordered to enter the palace, and he had to take care of him many times.". Snow Ning is also very happy to meet His Highness. However, the life in the palace was not what Snow Ning liked. Snow Ning came from a humble background and had no great ambitions. She only wanted to return to her childhood countryside and have a strong heart... "

Shen Zhiyi was stunned.

She didn't expect Jiang Xuening to say such a thing.

The string of purple glass in her hand is gone, replaced by her slightly warm palm.

But a wave of anger rose from the bottom of my heart.

Shen Zhiyi wanted to say, "I treat you so well, how dare you think of leaving?" But as soon as she touched Jiang Xuening's warm and sincere gaze, the anger that had just risen slowly extinguished like being suppressed by the flowing water of a pulse, turning into a bit of loneliness and pity.

She said, "Don't you like the palace?"

Jiang Xuening said, "Life here is very unpleasant."

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, who said you're not feeling good? I'll give them all a good time and make you feel good!"

It's like a child's temper.

Her two eyes were wide open, and her slender eyebrows were raised. Although there was an old scar at the corner of her eyes, it did not diminish her princess's dignity. Just two puffs of cheeks, lips pursed tightly, clearly unwilling to give up.

Jiang Xuening was extremely helpless.

At the moment, I was afraid that if the topic continued, it would actually provoke her temper. She kept making a fuss and secretly asked her to marry Shen Jie. There was no reason for that, so she sighed and wanted to change the topic, saying, "Let's see what you're wearing today. The earrings look pretty good too..."

But Shen Zhiyi is not such a easy person to fool.

She just likes Jiang Xuening as her playmate.

While dressing up with her, she searched her heart and soul, trying to get words out of her mouth. She asked, "Is it the palace officials of Yangzhi Zhai who are not good to you? Are those dogs from the Internal Affairs Office treating you harshly? Is that person named You Yue bullying you again? Just tell me, who is making you unhappy? Ning Ning..."

This posture is like Jiang Xuening saying she's going to kill one of them!

Jiang Xuening broke out in a cold sweat on her head.

However, Shen Zhiyi's questions were one after another, and speculations became more and more bizarre.

Suddenly, he spoke incessantly, like a noisy octopus.

Jiang Xuening looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

For the first time, she wanted to give herself a big mouth: If she had known this, she would have said directly to Shen Zhiyi, "I would rather be His Highness's attendant than His Highness's imperial sister-in-law." She was afraid that Shen Zhiyi would have happily dispelled the idea of asking her to marry Shen Jie. How could she have been asked repeatedly like now?

My true feelings have been struck by lightning!

Finally, after Shen Zhiyi made her 23rd bizarre guess, Jiang Xuening couldn't resist the temptation and tried to speak up, "Since Your Highness cares so much about whether I'm happy or not, I'll just say it. In fact, I'm happy when I leave the palace..."

Shen Zhiyi gave her a sweet smile and said, "Ning Ning, you dream."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Shen Zhiyi hung the purple glass earrings for her and coaxed her very cheerfully, "Change one, I will definitely do it for you!"

Jiang Xuening silently shed tears in her heart. After pondering for a while, a fearless thought suddenly came to her mind: "The most unpleasant thing for me is learning the piano. Mr. Xie takes me to learn the piano every few days and has extremely strict requirements..."

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

Jiang Xuening blinked and said, "You said you would definitely get it done."

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

This time it was Shen Zhiyi's turn to silently shed tears in her heart: both the civil and military officials of the entire court knew Mr. Xie's position in academic studies. It should be noted that the fact that she was studying in the palace had caused criticism from the entire court. Without Mr. Xie's approval, it was feared that it would not have been possible. Mr. Xie's usual teaching demeanor gives her a hundred courage, and she dare not act recklessly in front of him. She doesn't allow him to play the piano with Jiang Xuening!

You can lose anything, Princess Leyang's face cannot be lost!

===Kunning Section 100===

Shen Zhiyi suppressed her guilt and said with a righteous tone, "Mr. Xie is willing to teach you so seriously. You can't even finish your court duties, and you have to spend more than half an hour every day teaching you how to play the piano. It's something that no one else can envy. How can you despise Mr. Xie's strictness? It's too much!"

Jiang Xuening wanted to say, "But..."

Shen Zhiyi snatched up and said, "Just one more sentence, I'll tell Mr. Xie about your aversion to learning the piano!"

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Before, I didn't know that you would still threaten people with a report of assault?!

She was stunned.

Shen Zhiyi coughed and said without blushing, "Oh my, this princess is not omnipotent either. Besides these two things, who else is bothering you? If you speak up, I will definitely uphold justice for you!"

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xuening suppressed a sentence and said, "It's gone."

Just as she finished dressing up and having breakfast with Shen Zhiyi, she looked at the half orchid filled with rose filling on the pastry that was placed in the bowl. She picked it up and took a small bite, but slowly lowered her gaze.

Shen Zhiyi asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xuening's gaze flickered slightly as she looked at the small piece of pastry and said, "It's nothing, but suddenly I remembered that my older sister in the family would also make such pastry bait. I miss her a bit..."

After she finished speaking, she changed the subject and continued to eat.

Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, carefully memorizing this sentence in her heart.

After having breakfast, the two of them went to Fengchen Hall to study.

When they arrived, others arrived early.

Everyone was speaking when they heard that Princess Leyang was coming, and they all turned their heads to look.

But who would have thought that at this glance, their gaze could not be turned back——

But this gaze did not fall on Princess Leyang, but on Jiang Xuening!

When entering the palace for a long time, the accompanying readers mostly wear the clothes they brought when they arrived.

Jiang Xuening's usual attire leans towards simplicity and elegance, somewhat relying on her own foundation to be too lazy to dress up recklessly. But today she came from the Mingfeng Palace, wearing the palace attire that the palace people had spent a long time selecting from the old Shen Zhiyi.

The snow-white fabric was pressed with layers of fine gold thread.

The deep blue crane carrying cloud pattern climbed up from the hem of the dress, and the flowing patterns on the wide sleeves and robes on both sides were like embroidered stacks. There was also a white jade exquisite pendant hanging from her waist, except for the moon white embroidered peony sachet which belonged to her.

A face is even more exquisite and dazzling.

Her skin is already fair, with eyebrows and eyes drawn, and her lips tinged with sandalwood red. With a fleeting gaze, every frown and smile appears captivating.

But what's even more surprising is the feeling it gives.

There was no discomfort or incompatibility of her youngest daughter stealing the splendid attire. Wearing this palace attire, her casual and frivolous demeanor seemed to unconsciously converge into two parts. She held the hands of the palace attendants and walked closer step by step, revealing a coldness and grandeur of being in the Nine Palaces.

Xiao Shu looked at her for a long time but didn't react.

Princess Leyang happily boasted to everyone, which was the result of her morning dress.

When everyone saw Jiang Xuening's beautiful appearance and meticulously dressed up, they were both shocked and a bit sour. However, they couldn't help but praise her on the surface, as if she had knocked over a bottle of five flavors.

Jiang Xuening had also looked in the mirror before coming out of the Mingfeng Palace. She felt that wearing this gorgeous palace dress was beautiful, but it seemed like a nightmare. Looking through the makeup mirror, she didn't see herself, but the bustling queen of the previous life who couldn't move forward or backward.

She has a desire to change her outfit.

But seeing that it was time for class, there was no time to change, so I had to wear this outfit to the Fengchen Hall.

She stayed up all night and her mind was restless. During a class, she was absent-minded until the end of the class when everyone placed the piano on the table. It was then that she suddenly remembered that Xie Wei was teaching the piano in the next class.

So I pinched my eyebrows and woke up.

The Zhang Jiao'an is still in the side hall, and Jiang Xuening left the hall door and headed towards the side hall.

I didn't expect Xie Wei to be in the side hall very early today.

The eunuch at the entrance of the palace looked at her with some surprise. After passing the message through the door, he opened the door and let her in.

Jiang Xuening entered the door.

Xie Wei didn't attend a banquet this morning and didn't want to stay in the cabinet and argue with those old men. That's why he came to the side hall to handle official documents. At this moment, he was getting up and taking down his "Emei" from the wall. When he turned his head and saw Jiang Xuening, he was also stunned.

Jiang Xuening saluted him and said, "Hello Mr. Xie."

Xie Wei's gaze lingered on her for a long time, as he scrutinized her clothes and makeup. His eyebrows gradually furrowed and he said, "It's not good-looking."

After speaking, he tilted his arms around Emei and walked towards the gate of the palace.

"..."

Jiang Xuening stood still, his mind full of lawsuits.

What's wrong with this person?

Although she also felt that she didn't like the way she was dressed, why was it so unpleasant to hear from Xie Wei's mouth? What kind of makeup and clothing does the daughter have in her family? Does the stinky man even question the depth of his ways?

Besides, how could she not! Okay! Look!

Xie is truly someone who reads Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures on a daily basis. In her previous life, she didn't even touch women. Perhaps she wouldn't have liked her in the first place! I deserve not to beg my wife!
