Chapter 598 - A Deal Caused by a Set of Head Accessory (2/2)

“Accessories? Which accessories did we bring?” Princess Caifeng was enlightened by You Yue’e’s words and turned to ask the palace maid.

“Your Highness, we brought this set of head accessory with us when we entered the palace this time. The rest are all outside the palace.” The palace maid hurriedly turned around and took a box of jewelry from the dressing table by the side and brought it to Princess Caifeng. They had come to the palace today as a guest, and had brought her dancing clothes and changed clothes, so they did not bring any more accessories. They only brought this set of head accessory which matched the clothes.

You Yue’e walked up to her and flipped through it. She said, “This agate accessory matches the clothes well, but they do not s.h.i.+ne much. The clothes are light pink while the agate is red. The two colors do not match well and cannot reveal Your Highness’ beauty.”

You Yue’e was the legitimate daughter of the Mingguo Duke and was now Consort Yan. She had her own taste in clothing and was on a completely different level from that of Princess Caifeng.

As she heard You Yue’e’s clear and logical words, Princess Caifeng’s face softened and she could not help but ask, “Then what do you think we should do?” Her eyes moved from the red head accessory to the pink clothes, and she felt discouraged. It was indeed not good-looking. She turned back and glared at the palace maid beside her. What kind of match did she choose?

The palace maid shrank back, hid behind, and lowered her head, feeling wronged. It was well-known that Princess Caifeng liked red, so the clothes and accessories she chose were mainly red, which was her usual style. However, she now disliked the color of red. Where could she get other accessories for the time being?

You Yue’e smiled and clapped her hands. “Your Highness, don’t worry. I have a set of head accessory with jade and ruby on it. I’ll give it to you,” she said generously, which gave a good impression on Princess Caifeng. Then, a smile appeared on her face.

A maidservant by You Yue’e’s side brought in an exquisite box. You Yue’e went up and opened it. There was indeed a set of head accessory with jade and ruby on it. The green color, together with the ruby, immediately made the whole color lively. Just by looking at it, one felt that it was extremely pretty.

Princess Caifeng liked it with one glimpse.

You Yue’e picked up a pair of earrings first and gestured in Princess Caifeng’s ears. “Your Highness, look, this pair of earrings make your as smooth as jade. The green leaf and red flower complement each other. Come on, help your princess wear the earrings.”

You Yue’e handed the earrings to the palace maid standing by the side. After all, she was Consort Yan. Even though she was trying to please Princess Caifeng, she could not do too much.

The palace maid took the earrings and carefully put it on for Princess Caifeng. You Yue’e had already taken a small bronze mirror and placed it in Princess Caifeng’s hand, saying, “Your Highness, look, does it look beautiful?”

On the emerald green holder, there was a half-bloomed ruby flower. It hung beside her jade-like face obliquely. It was so beautiful and brilliant that Princess Caifeng’s eyes lit up. “It’s really beautiful!”

As she praised, she turned her head and was very satisfied.

The palace maid saw that she was finally satisfied and hurriedly took the clothes handed over by You Yue’e. She carefully helped Princess Caifeng put on the clothes and pushed her to sit in front of the mirror to dress her up.

“Consort Yan, why are you helping me? What do you want from me?” Princess Caifeng looked at You Yue’e through the mirror and asked with a vague smile.

Of course, she was not stupid. Consort Yan showed her kindness for no reason and gave this set of expensive head accessory as a gift. She must have something to ask for, so she asked directly.

You Yue’e didn’t expect this arrogant princess to know the ways of the world. It seemed that she could not mention some matters in case she alarmed her and made it unable to approach her. You Yue’e thought and made up her mind. She looked up and said with a smile, “Your Highness, you’re so smart. I do have something to ask for your help. Can you do me a favor and ask His Majesty to stop ground King Yan?”

“What happened to King Yan?” Princess Caifeng asked curiously. Was King Yan not in the palace earlier?

You Yue’e knew that there were some things that she could not tell Princess Caifeng. As such, she cleared her mind and said, “His Highness discovered that a second consort had an affair with another man. When the matter got out, the second consort committed suicide because she was too embarra.s.sed to face anyone. However, later we found out that it was another concubine who did it. His Majesty said that His Highness did not manage the household strictly and grounded His Highness. His Highness is a nostalgic person. He hid himself in the manor and did not say anything in front of His Majesty.”

You Yue’e’s words were full of half-truths and were also vague. However, Princess Caifeng did not know the inside story. When she saw that You Yue’e’s eyes turned red, she could not help but have a good impression of King Yan, who dared to take responsibility. She felt that the prince was manly!

It was just a death of a second consort, but he, a prince, accept the punishment without argument!
