49 Birthday Party (1/2)
”Xia… do I have to wear all of these?” Jun Hua's eyes twitched as she glared at the mountain of jewelries on top of the table.
Xia put on a wry smile. ”The princess gave you additional jewelries. Added with the one you brought, there are a lot of them…”
Jun Hua felt a headache coming. There's no way she would want to wear all of them on her head. Did they think that her neck was made of steel? These jewelries made of gold were heavy and she didn't want to use them at all. If possible, she wouldn't even wear any of them.
”Just pick a few then…”
Xia acknowledged it and chose from the jewelries given by Princess Hui. She didn't dare to use a lot of pieces since Jun Hua never wanted to wear so much in the first place. Without accessories, her beauty was already unparalleled. With additional accessories, it was like she was going to snatch the whole world's attention.
Jun Hua only wore two hairpins. One was given by Princess Hui and the other one was what she bought when she was going out as Jun Min. There were some bracelets from the princess that she wore too. She picked an exquisite blue dress and let Xiao Yun do her hair.
Xiao Yun was used to this chore so she was able to make Jun Hua's looks even more dignified. When she was done, she looked at herself in the mirror. The blue dress fitted her perfectly and with her dolling herself more than usual, she looked really beautiful. The dress she chose was simple. While it was not standing out too much, it was also not appearing too mild.
Xia sighed to herself. If Jun Hua were to dress up every day, no man would bear to look away. Even though Jun Hua was dressing so low-key, her exquisite stature and face would undoubtedly attract a lot of attentions. She silently hoped that the princess wouldn't accuse her Miss of stealing her spotlight.
Jun Hua was satisfied with the way she looked. Despite her hopes to appear low-key, that was quite an impossible with her having this kind of face and body. Jun Hua picked up her veil and wrapped it around her face. She wouldn't allow those guys to see her face so easily.
Finishing up with her appearance, Jun Hua went out to meet with Fan Lanying. Today, Fan Lanying also dressed exquisitely and appeared more beautiful than usual. She didn't wear a lot of hairpins but there were still a few of them. The color of her dress was yellow and it looked even grander than the one Jun Hua was wearing.
”You look very pretty,” Jun Hua said with smile.
Fan Lanying sized up Jun Hua. ”Even when you're trying to dress so simple, you still look very beautiful. I bet many girls will envy you.”
”It's not like I can choose how I look,” Jun Hua shrugged.
”Let's eat first. The party will only begin in an hour.”
Jun Hua and Fan Lanying both sneaked out some food to eat. Waiting for the party to begin was long and it would be better to do it with a full stomach. The two of them soon returned to the hall where countless guests have arrived and started their conversation.
The girls who have undergone the training became the spotlight before the princess showed up. They have become more elegant and refined. Many nobles were praising them, saying appreciative words left and right.
