Granny Zhou's eyes widened, and she replied seriously, "Although a fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, it is still a phoenix after all. Even if it has fallen, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to offend."

Immediately afterward, Granny Zhou frowned slightly and solemnly instructed again, "Ruhe, this time there absolutely cannot be any mistakes! Quickly go and fetch all of the young lady's most precious and gorgeous dresses and exquisite jewelry. Remember, not a single one can be left out! Tomorrow is a crucial day, and we must greet Her Highness the Princess with the most impeccable etiquette."

"We must not lose our composure and disgrace our household!" she said, gently patting her sleeve as if she took the matter very seriously.

Ruhe nodded slightly to indicate that she understood. She then quickly finished the remaining work in her hands and walked briskly to the bedside. She reached out and gently pushed open the heavy and ornate sandalwood cabinet door.

As the cabinet door slowly opened, a breathtaking sight unfolded before my eyes. Inside, a dazzling array of exquisite dresses and dazzling jewelry were displayed, including a variety of delicate, finely crafted three-inch slippers, neatly arranged like precious works of art. Each garment and accessory was made from the finest materials, their craftsmanship and ingenious design utterly astonishing. Each piece radiated a unique charm and brilliance.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that among this cabinet full of treasures, not a single item belongs to a man. For the past decade or so, Madam Zhang has treated Yin Zijing like her own daughter, showering him with care and affection. She has provided him with a life of luxury, like that of a princess.

However, it's also clear that this favoritism was limited to raising Yin Zijin as a girl, and the rules for raising her as a girl were even stricter than those for ordinary young ladies. As for other aspects, there was nothing special about her.

As Ruhe was choosing clothes, Granny Zhou smiled and instructed Atian, "Help the young lady over so she can choose with Ruhe. Now that the young lady is grown up, she should have her own taste and vision. We servants can't always be the ones choosing clothes; our vision is limited. The young lady should choose for herself."

Yin Zijing rummaged through the clothes in the closet, pondered for a moment, and then took out a crimson ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). She then took out a white undergarment, over which she wore a sleeveless, thick pink jacket. The jacket was trimmed with white fox fur and embroidered with white magnolias, green leaves, white flowers, and brown branches—the embroidery was incredibly lifelike and exquisitely crafted.

Finally, she brought out a thick white cloak, its patterns embroidered with gold thread. This added a touch of nobility and mature sophistication to the delicate, playful pink. Even the three-inch slippers were pink with white magnolia patterns…

For jewelry, Yin Zijin chose two silver magnolia hairpins with silver branches and leaves and carved mutton-fat jade petals. She then selected a pair of magnolia earrings to match her dress. She also chose a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of blood jade bracelets, a silver necklace, and a mutton-fat jade pendant.

Because Yin Zijing spends a lot of time practicing embroidery every day, he has to take extra care of his hands. In particular, his thumbs and index fingers, which are frequently in contact with needle and thread, must not have nails that are too long, so as not to affect the accuracy and efficiency of his embroidery.

Therefore, Yin Zijing only needed to choose nail guards for his other six fingers. After careful selection, he finally chose six exquisite silver magnolia nail guards. These nail guards were beautifully designed and exquisitely crafted, resembling blooming magnolia flowers on his fingertips. They would not only protect his long fingernails from damage but also add a unique charm and elegance to his appearance.

Yin Zijin couldn't help but try it on. When he gently raised his jade-like hand, the magnolia nail guards, shimmering with silver light, were as dazzling as twinkling stars, captivating all who beheld them.

Looking at Yin Zijing wearing the nail guards, Granny Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss, you think it looks beautiful too! Otherwise, why would you try it on? From now on, Miss, you should wear the nail guards all the time!"

It's always me who reminds you to wear nail guards, but you always refuse, saying it's inconvenient. Without nail guards, your nails keep breaking, and you don't grow them very long.

Fortunately, whenever the girl's nail polish ran out, the old servant could reapply it in time; otherwise, the girl's fair and slender hands would always look so plain.

"As I've said before, over time, the girl will gradually develop a liking for the things women use. Take the breast massage and buttock patting, for example. When the girl can't resist, she'll ask Ah Tian to massage and pat her, without me even having to remind her..."

Yin Zijing didn't want to listen to Granny Zhou's nagging anymore, so she quickly asked, "Granny, I've made my choice. What do you think?"

Looking at the dress Yin Zijing had chosen, Granny Zhou couldn't help but nod and say, "Not bad, Miss, you've made a good choice. When meeting Her Highness the Princess, it's not appropriate to wear something too bright or too plain. Rouge red is the best choice, and most of the jewelry is silver, so it won't overshadow the dress."

The next morning, after Yin Zijin had breakfast, Zhou Mama, Ruhe and Atian helped her with her washing and dressing.
