Wang Rong and the clothes for the banquet found a green pleated skirt, with Ai Qing rolling white coat, white teeth, and a rouge belt. Both the brocade ball and the scented pill were made of silver, the silver embroidered pouch, the white jade pendant decorated with a long tassel of gradually changing green, and the clothes and skirt embroidered with wormwood. Yang Jingru touched the ornaments on his body, ”This way of looking at it, is also pretty nice to look at.”
”We have to make so many clothes a year. The flowers and birds aren't enough for embroidery. We have to find some that aren't often used on embroidery, but are rather new.” Wang Rong He said.
”But elder sister, wouldn't it be too simple if you wore this kind of clothes to the banquet?” Yang Jingru said.
Wang Rong smiled, tied all of her hair on top of her head, and used a white jade lotus crown to tie it all up, allowing Xi Tao to take out the golden hairpin that had been awarded by the Emperor. The gold tassels danced in his ears as golden light billowed.
When Xi Tao prepared to give Wang Rong and the hairpin to her, Wang Rong said that she did not want it, ”One hairpin is enough.”
”At the beginning, I didn't feel like this golden hairpin would be just right.” Yang Jingru said, ”The golden hairpin bestowed by her majesty is just too exquisite and gorgeous, and the color of her clothes are just too gorgeous. Zhou Yuting always dressed in this way, so big sister bumped into her.”
”I'm not afraid of bumping into her, it's just a small banquet. We are all Imperial Consort Candidate now, it's not good to be too flamboyant.” Wang Rong He said. Zhu Yijun wanted to attend the banquet and didn't bring the golden hairpin that he had given to Yue Yang. The golden hairpin bestowed by the king was already extremely eye-catching. If she were to wear it in such a gorgeous manner, it would be hard to tell what kind of person would look like in the eyes of others.
Looking at the makeup mirror, Wang Rong began to make up. Her eyebrows were drawn a little bit, and her eyeliner was drawn a little bit longer.
”Big sister's drawing is better than palace maid's.” Yang Jingru said.
”Then should I draw it for you?” Wang Rong He said, ”Did you trust me?”
”Why not?” Yang Jingru laughed.
It was only when it was time that Wang Rong and the Imperial Consort Candidate went to the Palace of Ci Ning, that the dancing Imperial Consort Candidate went to the Palace of Ci Ning, and when all the other Imperial Consort Candidate went to pay their respects to the empress dowager, did Her Majesty come as well. When she passed by Wang Rong and stopped for a moment, she looked at the golden hairpin on her head, and pursed her lips with an unfathomable smile.
Wang Rong calmly sat down, the Empress Dowager Chen smiled and asked, ”Are you all well?”
”Empress Dowager Xie is worried. There's nothing wrong with her body now.” Wang Rong He said.
”This is the hairpin that the king gave you. It looks like it's better than the one your aunt gave you.” When Empress Dowager Chen said this, all of the women present turned to look at Wang Rong He, ”This one looks more beautiful with a beautiful hairpin on her head.”
Wang Rong touched the hairpin on her head shyly, lowered her head, and didn't say anything.
”Your Imperial Majesty, even concubines would want such a beautiful hairpin.” Imperial Lower Consort Guo said in a spoiled manner.
”How difficult is that? I'll get the Feng Shang to send you to the palace later.” Zhu Yijun said.
”Thank you, your majesty.” Imperial Lower Consort Guo said with a flowery smile. She glanced at Wang Rong She and wondered why his Majesty would suddenly show up. Feng Shang had waited on the emperor for so long, but it was still raining the moment she saw wind.
This time, the Imperial Consort Candidate looked at Wang Rongzhi with a sympathetic gaze. Wang Rongzhi did not lower her head and simply sat there, wearing an appropriate smile.
Even if Zhu Yijun were to look over, she would just laugh like that.
After the dance at the Faculty Division, the Empress Dowager Chen said to the emperor, ”The Imperial Consort Candidate was kind enough to arrange a dance for your majesty, your majesty should watch carefully.”
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Empress Dowager Li frowned slightly. In her heart, she was very displeased that Empress Dowager Chen always made Imperial Consort Candidate dance and sing. In the future, she would be her daughter, and the more precious the concubine, the better.
By the time Wang Zhixi recorded the recording, she was wearing the same clothes as the other Imperial Consort Candidate, but her makeup was different. She had an extremely white makeup, unusual eyes, enchanting eyes, and a pair of red eyebrows.
It had an alluring beauty to it.
Empress Dowager Li clenched his fist tightly. Empress Dowager Chen glanced at her, then took another look at Zhu Yijun's expression.
In this batch of Empress Dowager Chen s, the two most valued were Zhou Yuting and Wang Zhixi. Zhou Yuting could tell from the looks of things that they were ambitious and capable, and Wang Zhixi was a beauty bestowed by the heavens.
Empress Dowager Chen had lived in this palace all her life, so she naturally knew the extent to which women could do such things. Empress Dowager Chen was not her biological mother. In the situation where her mother was still alive, even though everything had been revered in name, how could reality compare to her?
She had always been trying to win His Majesty's heart over. When the emperor grew up, she should start from the emperor's woman and thus influence the emperor.
The Empress Dowager Li had never worried about this. She had always been strict with His Majesty, and had always been responsible for his women. Perhaps this was what she relied on as her biological mother.
