Chapter 347: Princess Lingxi's Transformation

According to the custom of the Zhou Dynasty, the three days before a woman gets married are the days when acquaintances and elders in the family come to add to the wedding ceremony.

Therefore, Zhuxiang Yayuan is extremely busy today.

After half a day of excitement, the first person to arrive in the afternoon was unexpectedly the Princess of Lingxi.

"Why is she here?" Xiao Ling'er pouted.

I can still vividly remember the incident when Princess Lingxi from northern Xinjiang snatched her hairpin in a jewelry shop.

If it was Sister Xu who came to help, I'm afraid she could only watch helplessly as her chosen item was taken away!

Therefore, the girl was naturally haunted by Princess Lingxi's rudeness. Xu Rongrong naturally hadn't forgotten that incident either. Knowing Xiao Ling'er's discontent, she smiled and said, "She's now a guest in the palace, and with the title of Princess, it's not surprising that she came here to add to her makeup today."

"If I had known earlier, I would have gone back!" Xiao Linger snorted.

"It's too late for you to come back now." Duan Shanshan, who was on the side, covered her face with a fan and teased her. The grudge between Xiao Ling'er and Ling Xi was also told to her, so she also knew about it.

Xiao Ling'er: "..."

Xu Rongrong glanced outside the room: "I'm afraid it's too late to leave now. If you go out now, you might just bump into her arms."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Ling'er was about to get angry, so she smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, she and I are not close, and I have given her face many times before. She came here today just to go through the motions due to her status. I believe she will not stay for too long, and will not embarrass you again. Just sit back and relax." As she spoke, Luo Shu raised the curtain and invited Princess Lingxi in.

Xu Rongrong glanced outside and saw an unfamiliar maid following behind Princess Lingxi.

Come to think of it, the maid named Hermey from before has met the end she deserves.

Princess Lingxi herself no longer looks as bright as before, and there seems to be a lot of haggard hidden between her brows and eyes.

After the two parties met, Princess Lingxi took a long and narrow brocade box from the maid and unfolded it herself:

"When I arrived in Beijing, your wedding date hadn't been set, so I hadn't prepared any gifts to complement your dowry today. This fur I brought from the northern border was originally intended for my own use, but if you don't mind, I'll give it to you today. This is a blanket made of winter wolf skin, pure white as snow, without a single stray hair... This nine-foot-long blanket required the hunting of ten winter wolves. Whether spread on a couch or cushioned on a chair in winter, it's both elegant and warm." Xu Rongrong was secretly surprised when she heard this. She stroked the snow-white, soft blanket and sighed, "I've read in books that the winter wolves that live deep in the dense forests of the northern border are cunning, violent, and ferocious... It often takes dozens of warriors, day and night, to stake out a single one, setting countless traps, just to have a chance of hunting one... Your gift, my princess, is truly precious. I'm unworthy of it."

Lingxi changed his usual arrogance and said with a smile: "What's the matter? If you like it, it is enough to prove that it is worth the money... Originally I was worried that you had a gentle personality and would not be used to the fur of this beast, but now I see It’s just that I was overly worried.”

After saying that, she closed the box again and handed it to Xu Rongrong's hands.

Seeing that she really wanted to give it away, Xu Rongrong was a little surprised, but she still accepted it.

After a few more pleasantries, Princess Lingxi turned to Xiao Ling'er. "I was reckless earlier. I offended Sister Ling'er in the jewelry shop. I've been looking for an opportunity to apologize in person, but today is such a coincidence..." As she spoke, she took off a carved jade bracelet from her wrist and took Xiao Ling'er's hand. "Today, with Princess Ping'an as witness, I have fulfilled a wish I've had for many days. I came here without any preparations. This carved jade bracelet was given to me by His Majesty when I first arrived in Beijing. I'm offering this to you today. I beg Sister Ling'er to forgive my offense that day."

Unexpectedly, Princess Lingxi, who had been so domineering in front of her, suddenly changed her temper, leaving Xiao Ling'er unable to react for a moment.

Until she felt a chill on her wrist, she jumped up in panic: "No, no! It's just a small matter, how can I accept such an expensive gift from the princess."

Princess Lingxi looked at her slightly sadly: "If you are unwilling to accept it, then you are unwilling to forgive me."

A stunning beauty apologized so sincerely, Xiao Linger couldn't think of any words to refute.

After a long while, he hesitantly replied, "Thank you, Princess... I'm no longer angry." "That's good." Princess Lingxi seemed relieved. "I don't have many close friends in the capital. Regardless of whether we have conflicts or close acquaintances, you guys are the only ones I know... At least we won't be disgusted by each other when we meet in the future."

Xu Rongrong and Xiao Linger looked at each other and laughed.

After some more polite exchanges, Princess Lingxi took her maid and left.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared out of the yard that Xiao Ling'er came back to her senses. She took off the bracelet on her wrist and looked at it carefully several times but found nothing unusual, so her face was full of doubts: "This princess, what is this today?" Where to go?"

Duan Shanshan, who had been watching with cold eyes just now, thought thoughtfully: "Maybe... it has something to do with her recent situation in the palace? I have heard people say that she annoyed the queen for some reason some time ago, and now the queen's palace has refused her many times. After receiving her greetings, since there was no support from the queen, everyone in the palace began to neglect her, and life was not as good as before."

"This is the case in the palace, and the news was not deliberately concealed. Therefore, after the news came out, the noble ladies in the capital who had befriended her before were afraid to avoid her. Those who had previously intended to marry her have now backed down."

Princess Lingxi stayed in the capital for so long, originally intending to find a husband in Dazhou, but now it seems that it will be difficult.

Xu Rongrong asked: "It has been two months since she was married to Ji. In such a situation, there is probably no way out for her to stay in Beijing. Why not go back to Northern Xinjiang?"

"I heard that she mentioned it twice recently, and the Queen intended to agree, but His Majesty never let go..."

"Your Majesty?" Xu Rongrong was a little confused.

Xiao Ling'er on the side heard this and sighed: "No wonder her temperament changed so quickly. Now she has lost favor with the queen, has no relatives in the capital, and is not allowed to go home..."

She is young and has a simple temper. Although she had problems with Princess Lingxi before, seeing her sincerely apologizing today, and now hearing that she is facing such a situation, she feels sad: "After all, she is quite pitiful. Although she is the daughter of the King of Northern Xinjiang, her father is thousands of miles away. Now she is alone in the capital. She depends on her majesty and empress, who are not related by blood, for all her kindness and honor..."

Duan Shanshan raised her eyebrows when she saw this and said, "You didn't want to see her just now. How long has it been since you started to feel sorry for her?"

Xiao Ling'er curled her lips and said, "I also seek truth from facts."

After saying that, she turned around and asked Xu Rongrong for approval: "Sister Xu must think so too, right?"

Xu Rongrong shook his head and smiled: "I am not."
