The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Granny Zhou quickly stopped Yin Zijin, who was about to leave, and couldn't help but admonish her, "Ladies, when you're out and about, you must be more composed and pay more attention to etiquette and manners. You must not lose your composure and let outsiders laugh at the Yin family's upbringing."

As they were talking, Granny Zhou gently placed one of the two delicate, gossamer-thin veils over Yin Zijing's beautiful hair. The veil fell like a light cloud, perfectly concealing Yin Zijing's face.

Then, Granny Zhou moved to Yin Zixiao's side. Similarly, she carefully unfolded another piece of cicada-wing gauze veil and skillfully placed it over Yin Zixiao's head.

Granny Zhou looked at her and said, "Let's go! A lady from a respectable family should be more reserved. When you're out and about, you should try not to let men see your face."

Yin Zixiao's vision, which had been bright, suddenly became blurry, and she felt uncomfortable for a moment. However, with Granny Zhou blocking her way, she was able to vaguely see the road in front of her, and Yin Zixiao calmed down.

The group slowly walked towards the stairs to the second floor. The two rough-looking maids guarding the top of the stairs quickly lifted the cover leading to the first floor, and the maids guarding the first floor quickly moved the narrow ladder over.

Supported by their maids and servants, Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao, with their slightly unsteady bound feet, descended from their boudoir.

The happiest and most excited person was Yin Zijing. After all, she hadn't left her boudoir for several months, and her steps became much lighter.

In the warm spring of March, the weather had warmed up considerably, the snow had melted, and the flowers in the small garden were slowly blooming, filling the air with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. A gentle breeze blew by, and the sheer gauze on Yin Zijing's head shimmered in the sunlight, swaying in the wind and making her appear much lighter and more cheerful.

Upon reaching the main courtyard, two sedan chairs were already waiting. Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniao walked to the sedan chairs, where Madam Zhang had been waiting for some time.

Madam Zhang solemnly instructed, "You are all grown up now, so be mindful of your actions. Most of the ladies attending the Princess's garden party this time are from noble families."

When you go, make sure to get along well with them and spend a lot of time with them. You might even make a few close female friends. This could be a great help when you get married in the future.

Especially Zijing, the trouble you caused last time was truly enormous, causing a great uproar throughout the city and even alarming the Emperor. This time, when attending the flower viewing party at the Princess's residence, you should be even more discreet.

If Her Highness hadn't specifically requested you to go, I certainly wouldn't have let you go. Your temperament is fickle; it's better for you to stay in your chambers and cultivate your character…”

Before the words were even finished, Yin Zifeng and Yin Ziyao moved gracefully, their tiny lotus feet peeking out from under their skirts like delicate flowers swaying in the wind, as they slowly entered the Yimei Courtyard.

They approached Madam Zhang, kneeling gracefully with elegant and practiced movements. Yin Zifeng raised her head, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, a sight to behold. She parted her lips slightly, her voice soft and melodious: "Mother, we have heard that the Princess's residence has invited us to a banquet; such a grand occasion is truly rare. We daughters have lived secluded within the residence since childhood, never having stepped outside its gates even once."

This banquet at the Princess's residence is a perfect opportunity to broaden our horizons and gain new knowledge! We earnestly request Mother's permission for my sister and me to attend together.

The daughters knew their request was unreasonable, but they were about to be married, and this might be their only chance; they hoped their mother would grant their request. The daughters would be eternally grateful. They begged their mother to grant their wish…”

Watching Yin Zifeng's delicate body tremble slightly, and crystal-clear tears sliding down her fair and tender cheeks like broken pearls, she looked truly pitiful, like a white lotus blooming in the morning dew, radiating a holy and loving light.

Zhang had always enjoyed an excellent reputation, and everyone praised her for her virtue, kindness, and compassion. Seeing Yin Zifeng so pitifully shedding tears, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and secretly thought: if she could take this opportunity, she could surely spread her good name of treating concubine's daughters well.

After careful consideration, Madam Zhang finally spoke slowly: "Alright, Sister Feng, you can go with Sixth Miss and Seventh Miss!"

Yao-jie, you should go back first! Practice your manners and etiquette a bit more, and go out again when you've mastered them! Otherwise, you'll embarrass the Yin family..."

Little did she know that this very decision by Zhang would lead to her lifelong regret and self-reproach...
