Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

These days, Song Lingxi learned that she was invited by the eldest princess to attend a flower-viewing banquet. Although she was a little confused, she was still very excited.

After all, she had lived in the Song Mansion for more than ten years and had never attended such a grand banquet.

Every time, she could only stare at Song Lingyu as she was dressed up beautifully. Her clothes and jewelry were all of the most exquisitely made.

But now, it was her turn to choose. Various styles of dresses dazzled her eyes. The colors were light and elegant, which was fashionable at the time, but not eye-catching.

Look, the Prime Minister's wife is holding Song Lingxi's hand, pointing at the various clothes brought by Yuyi Pavilion, and helping her dress up with great interest.

"Lingxi, take a look. These are new styles from Yuyi Pavilion. They won't be impolite, but they won't steal the limelight from the host either."

The Prime Minister's wife came from a scholarly family. Her father was once the prince's tutor. She was also the youngest girl in the family and grew up being doted on.

Although her father had retired long ago, several of her brothers were still serving in the court. They were the emperor's right-hand men and were highly valued.

In addition, her husband was the prime minister of the dynasty. Therefore, the prime minister's wife often went to various occasions and knew the etiquette at banquets best.

Song Lingxi was deeply moved. No elder had ever been so kind to her. In her previous life, the Prime Minister's wife was suffering from the pain of losing her son and had no time to take care of her. She only asked people in the mansion not to treat her harshly.

But in this life, Xie Changling's health is getting better and better, even stronger than ordinary people. The Prime Minister's wife is not too sad and can take care of her.

"You are young, so pink is the right color for you. However, this banquet is held at the Princess's residence, and there will be many guests. It would not be good if you are too eye-catching."

The Prime Minister's wife talked about the doctrine of the mean. This trick might be suitable for other people, but it doesn't work for Song Lingxi, who is so beautiful that she can topple a country.

Because soon, the Prime Minister's wife's plan came to nothing, as Song Lingxi changed into one dress after another, no matter whether it was pink, sky blue, or lake green, each one was pretty and charming.

Her face is rosy against the pink background, like a delicate and beautiful face of a beauty. Some people love her so much that they want to carry her with them every day and smell her fragrance.

The sky blue color makes her look fresh and refined, and it is the most refreshing color in summer, as if she is the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, the most beautiful connection where heaven and earth meet.

The lake green color makes her look more lively, just like the lotus leaves in the lotus pond. Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye, and reminds people of the chilled lotus seed soup in the hot summer, which is fresh and elegant.

The Prime Minister's wife was stunned. How could she choose?

Originally, I wanted to find something that was not so eye-catching that people would not be able to see it wrong, so as not to lose face for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and would not be annoying to the eldest princess.

but--

Who can tell her why Lingxi looks so fresh in whatever she wears, making people unable to take their eyes off her? Even if she were wearing a torn sack, she would still have a unique charm and feel.

"Mother, why are you frowning? Is there something wrong?"

Song Lingxi looked at herself. She was wearing a dress called Wide Sleeve Fairy Skirt. It was pink like peach blossoms. Even the hem of the skirt was curled up like peach petals, as if it was dancing gracefully.

"No problem, how about——"

The Prime Minister's wife was holding another less noticeable goose yellow dress in her hand. This one looked ordinary, except that the color was a little brighter.

It was the most ordinary style in the entire batch of clothes. The Prime Minister's wife was really helpless and could only choose this one, hoping that it could suppress Song Lingxi's stunning beauty.

It's a pity that she miscalculated. The Prime Minister's wife looked at Song Lingxi who had changed into her dress, her mind flickered for a moment, and finally she decided on this one.

When the two of them moved to the main hall, Xie Changling, who had been waiting outside, heard the noise, looked up, and dropped the teacup to the ground.

"Husband!"

The scalding tea splashed all over Xie Changling, but he seemed not to feel any pain at all. He stared at Song Lingxi without blinking.

Song Lingxi was worried to death. A strong worry flashed in her big almond-shaped eyes. She ignored etiquette and walked straight towards Xie Changling, walking past the Prime Minister's wife.

"Husband, does it hurt?"

Xie Changling watched Song Lingxi's mouth opening and closing, but he could not hear anything. He just stared at her, his eyes full of fascination.

She has black eyebrows and pink lips, cheeks like buds, watery almond eyes, and a goose yellow double-breasted skirt that tightly wraps around her waist, so thin that one hand cannot hold it. The hem of her skirt flutters as she walks, and she looks like a lotus with every step.

Xie Changling felt that every step she took was on the tip of his heart, like a fairy, graceful as a startled swan. His heartbeat became faster and heavier.

"Xi'er..."

He automatically ignored everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving only Song Lingxi in front of him. Now he wanted to hug her in his arms and give her a good kiss.

"Cough cough!"

The Prime Minister's wife could not stand her son's "idiot" gaze, so she quickly spoke up to interrupt the couple's gaze.

"Ling'er, Lingxi, tomorrow we will go to the Princess's Mansion. I have two instructions for you."

Xie Changling was awakened by his mother's sudden increase in voice. He held Song Lingxi's hand tightly and came back to his amazed state.

"Mom, just say it."

Xie Changling forcefully held Song Lingxi's retracted hand, and it could be seen that he didn't want to be separated from Song Lingxi for a moment.

The Prime Minister's wife was helpless and could only give them a few words of advice, asking them to be careful when attending the banquet and not to offend the distinguished guests, and then let them go.

"A son is no longer under the control of his mother. I hope everything goes well tomorrow."

As the Prime Minister's wife said this, worry flashed in her eyes, but she felt that she was overthinking it. After all, there was no need for the princess to target a little lady.

……

royal palace.

Royal study room.

In the golden hollow dragon-beast dome incense burner, ambergris filled the room with wisps of smoke, which made people feel soothed just by smelling it.

A dark figure was bending over a desk, reviewing memorials. Large vermilion “READ” words were printed on them, quickly piling up into a high layer.

Xiao Jin was concentrating on reading the memorial when he heard some noises outside. After a while, Eunuch Li came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the Princess Royal Highness is here to see you."

Xiao Jin didn't even raise his head, thinking that his good sister was interceding for his son: "No, tell her to prepare Xiao Heng's luggage for the border, and don't bother me."

Eunuch Li nodded in agreement, but he came back a moment later and said, "Your Majesty, the Princess said it was for a flower viewing banquet."

Xiao Jin put down the golden nanmu wolf-hair imperial brush in his hand, pinched his brows, thought about it, and let her in: "Pass it on."

Eunuch Li received the order, and a moment later a woman in a bright red palace dress stood in front of Xiao Jin. She stood there for a while, and when she saw that Xiao Jin ignored her, she gritted her teeth and knelt down to salute.

"See the Emperor."

The eldest princess waited there for a while, but Xiao Jin still didn't call her to get up. She was a little unconvinced at first, but later on, she started to feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live forever."

She had no choice but to greet him again, this time she raised her voice and was more respectful, just to remind Xiao Jin.

"Please stand up, sister. I wonder why you are here this time?"

Xiao Jin opened his mouth and smelled it. His voice was so low that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. This also dispelled the eldest princess's idea of ​​pleading for her son.

The princess was silent for a moment, then she pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs and has been worried lately. It just so happens that my mansion is holding a flower-viewing banquet, and I would like to invite Your Majesty to come and relax."

Xiao Jin didn't even raise his head, he just kept reviewing the documents and said, "I'm not going."

The princess looked at the unkind royal brother in front of her, and his stern eyes, and felt a little anxious. If she couldn't get him out of the palace this time, her plan would be ruined.

She lowered her eyes to hide the calculation in them, her brain began to work rapidly, and suddenly she thought of a good excuse.

"What a coincidence. The last time I went to the Song Mansion to propose marriage, I happened to meet the eldest daughter of the Song Mansion who came back to visit her parents. She is now the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

When Xiao Jin heard the words "Prime Minister's Mansion", his brows twitched slightly, and the imperial pen that had been writing stopped. It seemed that he had heard her words.

The eldest princess was delighted. It seemed that her good brother was really concerned about the Prime Minister's Mansion. That was a way, she continued.

"You don't know that the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion loves Miss Song very much. The couple is in perfect harmony. Look, they are a perfect match."

"I heard that this was a match made by you, and it seems to be a perfect match. I am also happy to see them, so I invited them to my house to appreciate the flowers and drink tea."

After the princess finished speaking, she stood aside with her hands hanging down, as if waiting for Xiao Jin's reply. She was much more confident this time and believed that the emperor would definitely show favor.

Xiao Jin was indeed intrigued by her words: "Is the health of the Prime Minister's eldest son okay?"

The princess nodded, but did not elaborate, just saying: "It looks good."

As for how it was good, she didn't explain it in detail. Isn't it better to let Zhou Jin go and see for himself?

"Well, tomorrow, after the morning court session, I will go and take a look, but there is no need to make it public. I will only stay for a while."

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he nodded to himself, then opened a new memorial. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "You said you went to the Song Mansion to propose marriage?"

Before the princess had time to thank him, she was stumped by this question: "Your Majesty, I ..."

"Heng'er is about to go to the border. If he leaves, I will always be worried. So I might as well find him a wife who can take care of him along the way."

The eldest princess answered cautiously. She didn't dare to say that Xiao Heng liked Song Lingyu, and she didn't even mention his intention, for fear of being reprimanded by the emperor.

She carefully considered her reply word by word, and after she finished speaking, she quietly raised her head to observe the emperor's expression. This time, she saw something incredible!
