Chapter 40
"Miss, I'm going to Penglai Residence today, what do you plan to dress up?" Biyue asked as she opened the cage, "Miss' figure is good in a floor skirt, and you can put on a chaoyunjin incense bun and put it on." A more refined walking swing will definitely look good."

"Hmm... I want to know what kind of clothes and vows are fashionable in Hengfeng City now?" Xia Yunran sat in front of the dowry, looking at the dazzling array of headgear, He Yuqing was really good at acting, and gave away so much gold and silver Jewelry, and several sets of dresses that I just made.

"I heard that thread-picked skirts and silk-wrapped hairpins are popular." Biyue said, "However, thread-picked skirts are not suitable for young ladies. I still suggest you to choose floor-to-length skirts, which will make it easier to stand out."

"Did my concubine give you a set of apricot-yellow gold thread-stitched gauze skirts? It's just right for this season." Xia Yunran thought for a while and said, and then fiddled with the jewelry pile, "Is it a silk-wrapped hairpin? ...There also happens to be one, it's from Dongling Jade, come, give me a Suiyun bun, I heard from the girls yesterday that this bun is in fashion now."

"But miss, you have a lot of flesh on your face, not too..."

"I want to keep up with the trend of the times, so it's decided." Xia Yunran said with certainty, is it the third prince's banquet? She plans to hide herself among the crowd, and she will do whatever everyone else does, everyone She will say whatever she says, and she will never do anything that can attract Song Mutian's attention, no matter if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Go with the flow and stay safe.

Although Biyue didn't understand why the lady suddenly had these ideas, she still helped her dress up according to her instructions, and then went to Ermen to join He Yuqing, Xia Hanxiang and Xia Suxue, and set off just as the sun was beginning to turn west.

There were three carriages, one for Xia Lingfeng and Xia Yang, one for He Yuqing and Xia Hanxiang, and one for Xia Yunran and Xia Suxue.

"The third younger sister is dressed so plainly today." Xia Yunran tilted her head and looked at Xia Suxue. She was wearing a moon-blue plain brocade dress, her hair was a girl's double bun, and she only wore two pearl flowers. Her face was pale and she didn't have any makeup. On it, "I haven't seen you for half a month, why are you still thin? But sick?"

Her yard is haunted, Xia Yunran heard about ghosts and gods, Xia Yunran's attitude now is that she believes it, but she is not afraid at all, she has been a ghost herself, and she also raises Xuanchen.

"It's just that I haven't had a good rest recently." Xia Suxue replied with her head bowed.

From this point of view, in the internal fight with Xia Hanxiang, Xia Suxue was at a disadvantage.Her mother was dead, she had no backer, and Xia Lingfeng didn't particularly like her, so it was inevitable that she would suffer.Dressing up like a girl today is probably showing weakness to He Yuqing and Xia Hanxiang.

"Have a good rest? Do you need to find a doctor?" Xia Yunran asked pretending to be concerned, "If you feel unwell, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible."

"It's not that Miss can't sleep, but that she can't sleep." Hua Luo, Xia Suxue's maid, said quickly, but Xia Suxue gave her a glare before closing her mouth.

"Sister, don't worry, it's okay." Xia Suxue just downplayed it, and then changed the subject, "Today the Third Prince hosted a banquet, I heard that many guests were invited."

"That's right, the third prince returned in triumph, as it should be." Xia Yunran nodded and said meaningfully, "Third sister, tonight's banquet is a good opportunity."

"It's an opportunity for my sister, but it's not a good thing for me." How could Xia Suxue fail to understand Xia Yunran's instigation, she avoided her eyes, and said solemnly, "I don't want to live in peace during the day."

The implication is that she doesn't want to continue to be tripped by He Yuqing and Xia Hanxiang because of the fight for the third prince, she just has a peaceful day.

"The stability of a moment may not be the stability of a lifetime. Third sister, you are almost reaching your age. Maybe, the mother and concubine will arrange a marriage for you soon." Xia Yunran reminded lightly, if you don't fight for it, that's just the same. Being manipulated by others, "If you really want to be safe, you have to come out on your own."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Bi Yue, who was silent, suddenly cleared her throat very loudly, probably thinking that Xia Yunran had talked too much, so she quickly changed the subject, "Miss, your hairpin is loose, servant girl Do it again for you."

Xia Yunran didn't say much, let Biyue play around, Xia Suxue returned to normal after being dazed for a while, just smiled and said: "Sister, your Dongling jade hairpin wrapped in silk is so beautiful."

"Yeah, this is in fashion recently. I still have a silk-wrapped hairpin. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

After that, there was almost no words on the way, and even if there were words, they were just talking about some unimportant things. Such and such a courtyard in the outskirts of the city.

Soon, they arrived at Penglai Residence, which was a courtyard bestowed upon Song Mutian by the emperor, and even the name of this courtyard was inscribed by the emperor himself.

The decoration here is naturally excellent, with pavilions, pavilions, rockery, and water pavilions, all that should be there, and the banquet is set by a small lake. Although this lake was dug by hand, it is said that it attracts Penglai Lake in the suburbs of the city. The water here is extremely clear, and from time to time there will be a dense air, which is really like a fairyland in Penglai.

There were already many people in the banquet venue, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk, Xia Lingfeng and Xia Yang joined the men's chatter, He Yuqing also had many good sisters who wanted to catch up on their old relationship, and even Xia Hanxiang and Xia Suxue also had girlfriends and so on. was pulled away.

Even Biyue was taken away by He Yuqing, saying that she had prepared a gift for others, but there were not enough people around her to take it.So Xia Yunran was alone, wandering around before the banquet.

She doesn't know anyone, but there are quite a few people who know her. Many girls and teenagers can't stop whispering after seeing her, and then forcefully laugh and avoid in a hurry—probably laughing at what she did before. Because, and avoiding is based on her reputation that she has always been insolent, and she dare not provoke her easily.

No one disturbed her, so Xia Yunran walked towards the place with few people by the lake. The dense air surrounding the lake made her a little curious. At first, she thought it was a hot spring or something, but she stretched out her hand After digging some lake water, I found that the lake water is cold, and it can make white air rise, which is really a miracle.

She picked up a handful of water, and when she was hesitating whether to taste it, someone patted her shoulder suddenly, and said in a triumphant voice, "Xia Yunran, it's not that friends don't get together."

She turned around abruptly, without even thinking about it, she poured the handful of water in her hand towards the person behind her.

There wasn't much water, but it was enough to cover his face. After Xia Yunran saw the man's face clearly, he also smiled: "Yunran has met the son."

Song Rinru was wiping the water off his face with his hands, and looked at her angrily, as if planning to eat her at any time.
