The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.
Chapter 51 Aunt Xie and Cousin
The Second Lady sent a servant to inform the Xie family that Xu Keke was planning to attend Princess Jianning's flower viewing banquet.
The next day, Xie's aunt brought her daughter Xie Su to Xu's house.
When Mrs. Xu saw that it was her sister-in-law and niece who came, she and Nanny Ding warmly welcomed them into the main hall.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Aunt Xie smiled and asked someone to present the gift box.
"I heard that Coco was going to Princess Jianning's flower viewing banquet, so as her aunt, I specially brought her a beautiful dress and matching jewelry.
So that she can shine at the banquet. We have always been close, and Keke is like my own daughter. I can't let her be outdone by those daughters of wealthy families."
The second lady's eyes were filled with emotion.
"Sister-in-law, you and brother are always so thoughtful and considerate. You even sent Coco clothes and jewelry. Coco is such a lucky child."
Xie Su on the side also said.
"Sister Coco is naturally beautiful. She will be as stunning as a fairy with these clothes."
The second lady looked at Xie Su with a smile.
"Su'er, you're about to get married, how come you still have time to come over?"
Xie Su's face flushed slightly as she answered in a low voice.
"Aunt, Su'er heard that cousin Keke has regained her intelligence, so she wanted to come and see her."
The second wife slapped her forehead.
"Look how happy I am. I'm busy talking to you. Aunt Ding, please go to the backyard and invite the second young lady over."
"Hey! I'll go and invite the Second Young Lady right away."
Xu Keke, who was doing nothing in the garden, was soon called over by Nanny Ding.
"Ke Ke has met my aunt and cousin Su Er."
"Hey! Keke, you're more obedient and sensible than before! When your aunt heard that your brain has improved, she was so happy at home for several days!"
Aunt Xie held Xu Keke's hand and kept looking at her. The more she looked, the more beautiful she became.
The original owner used to be pretty, but because of her dementia, she lost a lot of her agility, so she wasn't very popular.
Things are different now. Xu Keke has a smile on her face and is very friendly, which makes Xie's aunt very pleased.
"Keke, this dress and jewelry are carefully prepared for you by your aunt. Take them back to your room and try them on."
Xu Keke thanked her aunt with great joy, and then said to Xie Su beside her:
"Cousin Su'er, come with me to the backyard to see if the dress my aunt sent me fits me."
Xie Su naturally accepted his cousin's invitation without hesitation.
Xu Keke, Xie Shi, and Dingdang took the things and went to the aromatherapy center.
After Xu Keke and the others left, the second lady took Xie's aunt's hand.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Duoduo that when Coco was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, did my brother and Tianhua go to the Regent to ask for help?"
Aunt Xie nodded.
"It's true. They went there with ten thousand taels of gold notes, but the Regent remained unmoved. He said... he wanted to get it back from Coco..."
The Second Madam smiled and asked Madam Ding to get the engagement cards of Chu Mucheng and Xu Keke from under the incense table.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think this is?"
Aunt Xie looked at it carefully for a long time and asked in surprise.
"This is…?"
The second lady lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously.
"The Prince Regent compared our Coco's horoscope with his, and Master Yunxiao concluded that it's a match made in heaven. Perhaps our Coco will become the Prince Regent's princess in the future!"
Aunt Xie widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"This is such a huge surprise! If Keke can really become the Regent Princess, it would be a blessing earned through several lifetimes."
The second wife could not hide her joy on her face, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"That being said, the Regent is incredibly prestigious and unpredictable, and Coco... I'm afraid that Coco's straightforward nature and her thoughtless words might anger the Regent."
Aunt Xie patted the second wife's hand.
"Don't worry too much, sister. Keke is a smart and clever child, and he's also very good-looking. As long as he can win the favor of the Regent, he will have a good life in the future."
The second lady nodded slightly.
"I hope so. However, this matter has been promised by the Prince Regent himself, and there is also the Empress Dowager above it, so I am not sure whether it can be accomplished. Sister-in-law, just keep it in your mind, and don't tell anyone else."
"My sister is very thoughtful. At most, I will talk to your eldest brother about it."
Aunt Xie still felt like she was dreaming at this moment.
The regent of the current dynasty was like a god in the eyes of these merchants. They didn't expect that Coco would have such great fortune.
At the same time, in the aromatherapy courtyard.
Xu Keke was wearing a moon-white fairy dress with fluttering sleeves, as if woven from moonlight.
The fabric is made of ice silk tributed from Jiangnan. It feels as smooth as silk and brings a slight coolness to the skin, which is refreshing.
The skirt is embroidered with beautiful peonies, and the petals are outlined with gold thread.
The stamens are embellished with sparkling pearls, and each peony is lifelike, as if it can bloom from the skirt at any time.
There was a pink ribbon tied around her waist, which was also made of fine satin.
It is embroidered with exquisite floral and bird patterns, and when it flutters in the wind, it looks like a vivid painting.
The sleeves are wide and flowing, and the cuffs are inlaid with a circle of fine pearls. Each pearl is round and full, exuding a soft luster, showing elegance and luxury in every gesture.
Xu Keke turned around and asked with a smile, "Cousin, do you think I look good in this outfit?"
Xie Su praised sincerely.
"It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Keke, you have such a great figure! This dress was made by the best embroiderer in the capital, it's truly unique. If you wear this to the flower viewing banquet, you will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world."
Xie Su praised sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Xu Keke's face broke into a happy smile.
It doesn't matter whether she is more beautiful than others. What pleases her is the good intentions of her uncle's family.
"Cousin, you're too kind. If it weren't for my aunt sending me such a beautiful dress, I wouldn't be able to stand out like this."
Xie Su walked forward and gently helped Xu Keke straighten the slightly wrinkled hem of her skirt.
"Keke, you are not only smart and clever, but also very beautiful. You will definitely find a husband of your dreams in the future."
When Xu Keke heard this, she naturally thought of the Regent again and pouted.
"Don't tease me, cousin."
At this time, Dingdang interrupted with a smile.
"Miss, you look really good in this dress."
Xu Keke gently tapped Dingdang's forehead.
"You have such a sweet mouth."
The three were chatting and laughing when suddenly a maid came running over to deliver a message.
"Miss, Madam told you to try on the dresses and then go to the front yard to have dinner."
Xu Keke responded and then took off her dress, planning to wear it to the flower viewing banquet tomorrow.
As for dresses, she already had quite a few of her own, and she also brought back quite a few from Prince Sheng's Mansion, and each piece was extremely luxurious.
However, as the daughter of a third-rank official, she could not go out wearing those beautiful palace dresses.
There are also those jewelry brought back from Prince Sheng's Mansion, many of which were rewards from the concubines in the palace.
Naturally, she couldn't wear it with her current status.
This dynasty had clear social classes, and one had to pay attention to whether the clothes they wore matched their status.
As for why the Prince Sheng's Mansion prepared so many palace costumes for her when she was there, it was probably because of the noble status and luxurious style of the Prince Sheng's Mansion.
After packing up, the three of them walked towards the main hall together.
