Chapter 302 The Nine Thousand Year Old's Brainless Adopted Daughter 4

Springtime in the Imperial Garden.

All who came and went were pampered guests, and the flowers were in full bloom, creating a lively scene. Looking around, everyone was well-mannered, and the daughters of acquaintances greeted each other. No one was noisy or aloof.

Today is the day Xia Youmi selects her reading companions; those who come have already been screened once.

On the surface,

They selected some sensible children to raise by the Empress Dowager's side, to keep her company, and to help the Emperor fulfill his filial duties.

In reality, everyone knew perfectly well that it was sent to be the adopted daughter of the Ninth Prince as a companion for her studies.

Except for a very few die-hards who were allowed to exist and were determined to confront Sheng Ze, refusing to lower themselves to the level of Sheng Ze.

Most officials and noble families were happy to send their daughters, and even a few members of the imperial family were present.

Although related to the royal family, she is definitely not going to be selected.

But at least state your position to show closeness.

in addition,

This is also a very lucrative job.

Putting aside the fact that the Empress Dowager is the best person to raise her, the second point is that accompanying Xia Youmi is to the Imperial Study! Being able to study with the current emperor and having this friendship, no matter how you plan to arrange things in the future, it's a sure win.

And,

Based on Xia Youmi's current reputation, she is not someone who likes to make things difficult for others.

The chances of something going wrong if you're with her are very small.

If his temperament is just an act, that would be even better! There will always be a time when he slips up, right? In front of so many noble families and the current young emperor, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to reveal himself?

The effects of being around a bad girl are more pronounced than when you're around a good girl.

In addition,

Some girls simply thought it would be fun and didn't want to be confined in a large mansion. They heard there was a big party with the best food and flowers from the palace, and since they were so outstanding and could catch the eye of the ladies, they had no choice but to go and have some fun.

The Empress Dowager didn't restrict the people from making a scene.

Some of those who weren't selected were able to come and play with their sisters who were chosen; the arrangements were very thoughtful.

Today's theme is a flower appreciation banquet.

Not only young people, but also some imperial concubines who had no children were invited to come.

In the past, there was a tradition of keeping a court lady in the palace, but it's hard to say whether it was beneficial or not.

Some married in grand style, while others voluntarily went to marry into other families for political reasons.

Some couldn't endure the hardship and instead brought trouble upon their families.

Therefore, we are being quite cautious right now.

Whether or not someone can be adopted depends entirely on fate; no one can force the other.

Even if you don't want children, it's good to come out and join in the fun, and hear the latest gossip from Beijing.

then,

Today's excitement is unprecedented.

It was the grandest occasion outside of formal events since the new emperor ascended the throne.

Xia Youmi was also dressed up like a delicate Fuwa doll, except for her makeup, which was done according to Li Wanran's opinion. Xia Youmi had no say in her jewelry and clothes; they were "ravaged" from head to toe by Li Wanran and her aunts, along with her seven rainbows!

......

Shenhongge

"Snapped!"

"Qinghe! I told you I didn't want silk flowers of this color."

Zilu slapped away Qinghe's mischievous hand and began picking out items for Xia Youmi strictly according to color scheme.

"Oh, this color is so fresh and elegant, it suits you perfectly, Miss," Qinghe weakly retorted.

“Then, I will adorn Miss with a purple flower, making her look elegant and graceful! Doing things on a whim in this kind of occasion will only cause trouble for Miss!” Zi Luo said seriously, indicating to Qing He that this was not the usual playful scene of them vying for favor.

Making her first appearance in front of many young ladies, even though they were all of noble birth and beautiful.

Even the slightest carelessness is unacceptable, lest someone seize upon it and trample on your aesthetics and etiquette.

"Good sister, I know I was wrong!" Qinghe blushed, and suddenly thinking of the Ninth Prince's methods, she couldn't help but tremble.

Perhaps during the two years since the young master was brought from the countryside, she and her sisters have been taking care of him closely.

I witnessed her transformation from being timid and fearful to cheerful and kind.

period,

The Ninth Prince was always gently coaxing the young master, or enjoying loving daily life with the Empress Dowager, sharing the joys of family life.

Living in such beauty every day

Qinghe has almost forgotten how terrifying the Ninth Prince is.

How were they trained so rigorously, almost like suicide squad members?

If they were to carelessly cause their young mistress to lose face at the banquet, what punishment would all the sisters face?

"Bang bang—"

"I was really wrong, Sister Zilu, sob sob!" Qinghe couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow several times.

"Alright, get up! Don't be late for the master's appointed time." Zilu pulled her younger sister up. Actually, it wasn't that Zilu was more composed. Everyone remembered the past. Qinghe's carelessness was just her tendency to forget the pain once the wound had healed.

Looking back at the seven of them:

Red silk and green brocade.

Accompanying their masters on their comings and goings year-round, they were not only highly regarded but also in charge of the palace servants under their command, and had to report directly to the Grand Prince and the Empress Dowager. Naturally, they were extremely respectable and efficient in their work.

Green lotus and purple vine.

Although they were close to the master, they only did chores such as dressing, serving food, and bathing. Being in the middle, they were always in an awkward position and wanted to show off their charms to the master and compete for his favor.

Orange gauze, yellow silk, and blue embroidery.

The three women were all capable, and although they were ostensibly second-class palace servants outside the main courtyard, they secretly carried important responsibilities. They would usually follow their masters when they went out.

All things considered, only Qinghe and Zilu are somewhat somber.

occasionally,

Qinghe would still sob silently, wondering why the other five sisters all had names with the same radical.

They were the only ones left behind.

But Zilu asked her if she should go to her master and ask for a change, but Qinghe was unwilling to give up the grass radical.

She liked it but also felt awkward; it was because she hadn't lost her childish nature.

Despite her small stature, Zilu is considerate of her sisters.

"Alright, go tidy up your face first, then do your makeup." Zilu left with the selected jewelry, giving Qinghe some space to tidy up.

It was only because Li Wanran sent her aunt over today to help with the arrangements that the younger girls weren't asked to make the final decision.

In the past, in order to show their closeness to their mistress, they would coax her to choose colors related to themselves to dress up, so as to show that they were valued and favored by their mistress.

Qinghe hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, so she couldn't be too harsh on her.

just,

They were unaware that Xia Youmi himself had arrived.

She wasn't the kind of master who lacked her own opinions and let them manipulate her.

The embarrassment Zilu was worried about at the banquet would never happen.

"Hiccup, Mom, I'm full." Xia Youmi rubbed her stomach, marveling at the care put into the palace's food, which was beyond her imagination.

She ate comfortably without choking, and her burping was just to satisfy a small sense of ritual.

With plenty of time before the banquet, Li Wanran carefully checked the outfits again before dismantling Xia Youmi's elaborate attire.

Dress her in a light and easy-to-move-in dress, and add a few embellishments.

at last,

The most pleasing daughter has appeared!

She was worried that her daughter wouldn't be used to such luxurious decorations and might accidentally step on her skirt, causing the jewelry to fall off as she moved – how ridiculous that would be!

I'd rather not show off my beauty than let Mi'er lose face.

Xia Youmi gave Li Wanran a thumbs-up.

She was simply satisfying her mother's desire to dress up and didn't care whether she could outshine her mother.

At only seven years old, with chubby cheeks that haven't even faded yet, who can rival her beauty?

Furthermore, considering future plans, the focus should not be on appearance, but rather on character and ability.

Whatever the emperor wants, we'll compete with.
