Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Miss, Master sent someone to inform you to quickly prepare and enter the palace. Today is the empress’s birthday banquet, and all the officials’ wives are invited,” Zhilan hurriedly approached, her face filled with concern.
She was very worried. “Master didn’t inform you in advance, and now he’s telling you suddenly. Miss, could it be dangerous inside the palace? Should we inform Eldest Young Master to protect you?”
Su Yingxue raised a corner of her lips. “Brother will be attending too, but there’s no need to trouble him.”
This time, she was entering the palace to help Su Hao resolve a problem.
“Miss, even if you don’t need Eldest Young Master, time is running out. Let me quickly help you with your makeup!” Zhilan promptly offered to assist Su Yingxue, heading to her wardrobe to search for suitable attire.
Su Yingxue wasn’t particularly concerned about dressing up, but she instructed Zhilan, “Find a pink dress.”
Zhilan swiftly complied, saying, “Yes, Miss.”
Su Yingxue had spent the entire night working on something and had soaked it in the Medicine King Valley’s spirit spring. She needed to retrieve it now to take it into the palace.
Zhilan helped Su Yingxue change into a peach blossom pink dress and styled her hair in a simple bun.
However, Su Yingxue disliked golden hairpins. From the assortment of hairpins that Noble Consort Xiao had gifted her, she randomly selected one adorned with carved peach blossoms. This particular hairpin had delicate tassels that hung down, adding a touch of charm to her rosy face.
Chu Yihan had remarked that when he first saw her, she was like a cute little doll. On the day she would meet him again, she decided to embrace a cuter appearance.
As she left, Su Yingxue held a sachet she had retrieved from the spirit spring. She gave one to Zhilan and instructed her to ensure Su Hao wore it.
She also tied one onto herself and carried one in her hand as she made her way to the front hall.
Su Dingheng and Su Yurou had been waiting in the front hall. When Su Yingxue appeared in her long dress, both were momentarily stunned.
Su Dingheng rubbed his eyes, momentarily mistaking her for his late wife.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was indeed Su Yingxue!
Having shed her usual tight-fitting attire for the dress, she appeared as beautiful as a dream, identical to how Shu Li had looked in his memories.
Su Dingheng couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion.
Su Yurou’s eyes blazed with jealousy. Su Yingxue was already striking without any effort, and with this attire, she looked even more stunning!
Today, she had spent two hours getting ready, but she still couldn’t match Su Yingxue’s effortless charm.
It made her grit her teeth in frustration!
Why did Su Yingxue have to be so beautiful, provoking jealousy in others?
“Younger sister!”
Su Hao strolled over, and upon seeing Su Yingxue in her peach blossom dress, he was taken aback.
Her delicate oval face, porcelain-like complexion, and captivating eyes, which blinked at him playfully, melted his heart!
In his memory, his mother had been similarly breathtaking and a bit mischievous.
“Brother, you’re here. Do you have a sachet 1 made that suits your taste?” Su Yingxue asked, smiling sweetly at him.
Su Hao held the sachet and smiled gently, “Since my sister made it, it’s undoubtedly the best. But why do you have another one in your hand?”
Su Hao noticed she already had one tied to herself and was holding a white one in her hand.
Su Yingxue approached Su Yurou and said with a tender smile, “This one is, of course, for my younger sister! The three of us, siblings, each get one. How could we leave my younger sister without one?”
“Thank you, sister, for your kind thoughts. Today, I’ll be wearing the jade pendant bestowed by the empress, so it wouldn’t be suitable for me to wear a sachet,” Su Yurou replied gently, though her heart sneered at the idea of wearing such trinkets..
