As long as it was a woman, there would not be anyone who did not pay attention to her dressing. Prince Jin's Wife was naturally no exception, when she said that, everyone around them turned to look at Xie Jingxi, curious, to see what kind of unique clothes Prince Jin's Wife could see.
Xie Jingxi removed her cape the moment she entered the palace gate, revealing a dark red long gown beneath. Originally, she did not wear such heavy colored clothes, but after entering the palace today, which was a somewhat formal occasion, with all of the famous people wearing high quality clothing, she naturally could not wear it casually like she usually did. Moreover, she had her own motives. She intentionally wore such an eye-piercing color, so as to attract their attention and give Shen Huanzhi a beating.
Growing up in Jiangnan, she was originally white and delicate, and if one looked at her face closely, they would be able to pinch water out of it. Her eyes were clear and zirconium like beautiful, and her simple and elegant dress would make people think of Jiangnan, Liuqiao.
Xie Jingxi never thought that wearing this kind of color would actually look good. The important thing is that this material is made gently, although the style is formal, the details are not soft, and the waist is perfectly cut, and the cut isn't as stiff as the other girls' wives wear it, although it is very refreshing, but it is still not very comfortable.
”Reporting to the Prince Jin's Wife, this is the material that came out of Jiangnan. I have a small body, so I can't support our kind of stiff fabric, and I'm used to wearing small clothes, so I brought some from home.”
The more she looked, the more she liked it, ”This color is really good, in the end, this is a young water spirit, wearing anything is good to look at, and there's also the color of the Begonia flower, I have never seen it before, it even doesn't have our capital's most famous brocade Fang.”
Being praised like that by the Prince Jin's Wife, many young misses stuck out their necks to take a look. Mrs Li, who was still rushing over as usual, said first: ”It's true, Prince Jin's Wife has good eyesight after all. We haven't even seen the minute differences yet.”
”Yeah, if you look carefully, this material is truly soft. It can even be done in such a forceful manner, and is definitely more comfortable than the ones on our bodies. What material is this? We should also go buy some later.”
The one who spoke was a young mistress of the Qi family, who was also one of Prince Jin's Wife's siblings. Xie Jingxi smiled, ”If young mistress Qi likes it, I can send someone to take them away, but although this material is comfortable, it cannot go through the water.
”So that's how it is. Then, I'll thank the Third Miss first.”
Usually, the ladies in the capital would compete with the fresh flowers and fabrics. Whoever got the better flowers would wish that she was the only one with good clothes in the entire capital. It was not rare for her to wear a new dress, but it was still not easy to find one. It was rare to see someone as generous as Xie Jingxi, thus, the old wives and grandmothers who were not too familiar with her felt that the Third Miss s were not as bad as they had been rumored to be.
Thus, these wives and grandmothers surrounded the Prince Jin's Wife, pulling Xie Jingxi and talking about her clothes and accessories all the way until they entered the Empress's Phoenix Luan Palace.
”What are you talking about, Princess? You're making me laugh.”
Madame Zheng sat on the main hall, surrounded by a few women dressed in palace clothing. She must be a concubine in the palace, while Prince Jin's Wife was a regular visitor in the palace who was related to the imperial family.
”Queen imperial consort, we were just talking about Jingwan's clothes, do you think it's good?”
Xie Jingxi did not expect that Prince Jin's Wife would push her away immediately after she came out. In her previous life, she had married Gu Heng to fill the rooms, and as the wife of the Marquis Anfeng Palace, she once had the chance to follow him into the palace. However, she only stood at the side from afar to take a look at the people around her.
Therefore, Xie Jingxi was slightly regretful that she dressed in such a ostentatious manner. Originally, she wanted to follow Lady Xu and become a mute, but when she was pushed out like this, the eyes of the entire hall were focused on her body, it was as if she was standing on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, Xie Jingxi had always been good at acting, and could not find anything to fear, so she walked over to pay her respects to the empress imperial consort.
The empress looked over from afar and asked, ”Jingwan? Why have I never heard of it?
”Reporting to the Queen's imperial consort, my father is Xie Cen. My daughter is Xing San.”
”Oh? I see, it's the young lady from Elder Official Xie. Let me take a look when you raise your head. ”
Xie Jingxi slightly raised her head, the Queen scrutinized him for a while, and said, ”She's quite a righteous child, with a bit of the shadow of the Elder Official Xie.”
”That's right.” Prince Jin's Wife came to the empress's side. ”Elder Official Xie's elegance is one of the best in our Great Chen official arena, the few ladies there are only able to attract his attention, I liked this child from the first glance, but she grew up in Jiangnan, and imperial consort has never heard of her before. Look, that Old Madem is the ancestor of Xie Family.”
