wear it lord god

Chapter 2645 Immortal Realm Workers 13
When the day of the flower-viewing banquet arrived, she took out the silk skirt she wore when she ascended to heaven from her storage bag.

I'm currently wearing the palace fairy dress every day; I can't exactly wear my work clothes to a flower-viewing banquet.

As long as you wear it, you can take it to the celestial realm. The original owner was buried wearing twelve layers of clothing, which made walking difficult. Fortunately, with so many layers, he could choose from three or four sets of clothes and mix and match them flexibly.

Just think, the original owner's father buried sixteen chests of fine silks and satins with him in the underground palace.

It's a bit heartbreaking to think about. Even if they miraculously escaped the clutches of tomb raiders, whether through natural oxidation or subsequent salvage excavation, the outcome was almost always the same: complete decay. What a pity!

I chose a dress with the simplest and most conservative pattern, and a gold hairpin—that was it. I also had a jade hairpin, but I couldn't bear to wear it. A gold one might fall and get chipped, but it's still gold; a jade one, if it breaks, is ruined.

After dressing up, I went to find Ningxin.

Ningxin was also dressed and kept a low profile. Looking at her attire, he smiled and nodded, indicating his approval.

As they walked out of the courtyard, Ningxin said she had inquired with other people in the inner palace. Jinhua had even sent an invitation to the head of the palace, but the head refused to go and instead sent the deputy head in her place. Ningxin then arranged to meet the deputy head today, and they could ride in the deputy head's car together.

I really should have called Ningxin; she's so thoughtful. She brought me a powerful backer right away. At least I can hitch a ride there instead of having to walk.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, we waited for a while before the deputy chief arrived.

This deputy head of Pingyang, who wasn't on good terms with them, was dressed elegantly today, almost like a noblewoman. Upon seeing the two women, he kindly said, "Get in the car," and Ningxin stepped forward to help her into the vehicle.

Upon seeing this, Xining lowered her head and stood aside, making a gesture of respect with her hands clasped in a gesture of humility.

After the deputy head of Pingyang went up, she quickly went up to help Ningxin into the car, and then got in herself and sat in the corner near the door.

The deputy head, seated in the center, smiled and said, "Although I haven't had many interactions with Fairy Fengjun, all the fairies, including the head of the household, speak highly of her. If you'd like, you can come with me to the banquet today; there's no need to be too reserved."

It means that if you stay by my side after today, you don't need to worry, I'll protect you.

If you still can't understand the meaning, then all those qualifications you've accumulated have been wasted.

Xi Ning quickly said, "My daughter is so lucky to have ridden in the Vice Chief's car and received his care. She will never forget the kindness of Vice Chief Pingyang."

"Hmm~" The deputy nodded, his voice becoming even softer: "I heard you were a princess in your past life?"

"Reporting to the Deputy Chief." She introduced herself: "My previous life was Princess Shou'an, the eldest daughter of the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty. My father, the emperor, was reluctant to part with me and bestowed upon me the title of Fengjun, which allowed me to become an immortal."

It is truly rare to find a legitimate princess who is still young and yet remains humble and composed.

Here, not to mention the legitimate princess, even those who have cultivated immortality in sects are all arrogant and haughty. They must have taken countless detours and encountered numerous obstacles before they learned their lesson and put away their arrogance.

As the deputy leader, who was also born a princess, he couldn't help but feel even more favorably disposed towards this fairy.

Before even reaching Dongming Prefecture, we could already see two groups of fairies standing on either side of the street.

The deputy chief slightly lifted the curtain, and even though his face was expressionless, a quick furrow of his brow revealed his disgust.

Ningxin said softly, "Two days later, Fairy Jinhua booked two more groups, I heard they're going to the commercial street. If this continues, the Imperial Palace might need to recruit more people."

The deputy chief pursed his lips: "As long as there's spare money, there's no reason not to accept it. I'll discuss this with the chief."

The underlying meaning is obvious: Jinhua spends money like water, thinking that her father, Dongming the Immortal, gets his money from thin air.

Upon arriving at Dongming Prefecture, after getting out of the car, six or seven people were already waiting at the entrance to check the invitations and arrange parking. Because she was accompanying the deputy chief, Ningxin, who didn't have an invitation, went in as well. Otherwise, with only her invitation and not holding any important position, it might have required some persuasion.

After entering the gate and passing through the front courtyard, the female relatives were led to the back courtyard by the fairies who worked in the Dongming Palace, while the male fairies remained in the living room and were later led to other parts of the back courtyard, keeping a slight distance from or shielding the female relatives.

The celestial realm is a reflection of the human world, at most an upgraded version.

Xining was familiar with the place and obediently followed behind the deputy chief as an assistant, even if it meant being a maid, as long as no trouble befell her.

Don't stick your head out, or you'll get chopped off.

The deputy head's seat was placed near the front, so her seat was naturally placed at the back. It was she who pushed Ningxin to sit with the deputy head. Ningxin felt embarrassed, after all, she had come to keep her company, yet she ended up sitting with the deputy head.

This is fine too; all the tea and snacks on the table are hers now, and Ningxin appreciates her kindness.

This is a chrysanthemum banquet, and according to the etiquette of the aristocratic circle, everything must fit the theme. The tea is chrysanthemum tea, and the desserts are either made with chrysanthemum petals or shaped like chrysanthemums.

Looking at this banquet, there were over thirty women alone. It seems the Eastern Peak Emperor's department really offers great benefits. Even the income of a minor steward can support his spendthrift daughter's expenses.

Xi Ning didn't engage in conversation or social interaction, simply enjoying her snacks and tea. Now that she was a Celestial Empress, she could be like a mythical creature, eating without needing to defecate, and free from the hassle of toileting. These snacks and tea were imbued with spiritual energy; she hadn't been willing to spend money on them before, and since she couldn't take them back, she simply ate them all.

A short while later, a fairy maiden from the palace came to invite her, saying that Fairy Jinhua wanted to see her.

It was called an invitation, but there was little respect involved; it was more like saying, "Hey, Fairy Jinhua wants to see you."

Xi Ning turned her gaze toward Ning Xin, but unfortunately, she was a little far away.

She simply said, "Let me speak with the deputy first."

The deputy head is her superior, so it's perfectly acceptable for him to say goodbye before leaving.

After hearing this, the deputy chief told Ningxin to go with her.

Upon arriving at the small courtyard next to the main courtyard, Jinhua, dressed in elegant attire, sat in the main seat of the small living room. Seeing her approach with someone beside her, the person's brow twitched.

Xi Ning respectfully performed a standard side bow: "The Palace Attendant greets Fairy Jinhua."

Ningxin simply placed her hands to the side and said, "Ningxin from the Yegong Palace greets Fairy Jinhua."

Jin Hua glanced at Ning Xin, and the senior steward fairy beside her immediately whispered in her ear, presumably introducing Ning Xin's identity.

Ningxin is a senior fairy in the Ye Palace, equivalent to a group leader being a long-term employee of the Ye Palace. She is on the same level as the Great Immortal Dongming, but compared to the second-generation immortals who have no official position and are entirely supported by their fathers, it is acceptable for her to treat him with the respect due to an equal.

Jinhua was still a little dissatisfied, after all, her father was a celestial official, while this was just a group leader of a miscellaneous fairy. But the matter at hand was important, so she directly stated her meaning: "I heard your insoles are quite good, name your price and sell them to me. I can ask my father to get you a sinecure with him, or you can continue to work for me."

The room fell into an unusual silence, and Ningxin was stunned by Jinhua's shamelessness.

The "Fengjun" mark is now on thousands of insoles, and demand exceeds supply. In the Fengjun courtyard of the inner palace, workers are adding more and more. To achieve a slightly scarcity-driven sales strategy, production could definitely be expanded further.

Nowadays, production is done in large quantities based on sales volume. Unless you have connections, you won't be able to squeeze in an order.

Jinhua only said two sentences, wanting to take the business away. Who gave her the confidence?
