Chapter 215 Wrong person
Chapter 215 Wrong person
Five days later.
Xie Zhiyi was going to the palace to express his gratitude today. Yesterday, the Zhao royal palace sent someone to deliver Zhao clothing. Early this morning, Xie Zhiyi was pulled out of bed by a maid.
"Princess, please get up soon. Don't forget to go to the palace today."
Xie Zhiyi was forcibly pulled up. She hadn't left the inn recently except for eating and sleeping, and she was becoming increasingly lazy. "Well... let me sleep for a while, just a little while."
She was still mumbling softly.
"No, I have to get up."
Xie Zhiyi closed her eyes and was helped by the maid to wash. Then she was brought to the bronze mirror and allowed the maid to work on her face.
Yu Guiwan also got up early and washed up. Next to her was a set of Zhao State clothing. She originally had no intention of entering the palace, but she didn't expect that the person who delivered the clothes yesterday brought the Queen's decree.
He said he would invite her to go with him.
With the message from Queen Zhao, she had no choice but to go.
The maid put the last hairpin on her, and Yu Guiwan held her head. The Zhao people's attire was different from the Xia people's, and Yu Guiwan was extremely unaccustomed to the hairpins and hairpins.
Even after she became the Princess of Chen, she had never dressed like this. She would try to keep it as simple as possible, except when she had to dress formally to enter the palace. She hadn't dressed like this for a long time.
After finishing her makeup, Yu Guiwan opened the door. At this time, Xie Zhiyi had also finished her makeup and was being helped out by a maid. The two looked at each other and heard the maid say, "The princess and the princess look like a pair of sisters standing together."
Only then did Yu Guiwan realize that his outfit today was similar to Xie Zhiyi's.
Xie Zhiyi rarely saw Yu Guiwan dressed like this. She then realized that Yu Guiwan was quite pretty. Now it seemed that she and the emperor's uncle were indeed a perfect match.
"Let's go, don't make them wait anxiously." Yu Guiwan said. There was a carriage parked outside the post station. It was sent by the palace to pick up the two of them, so don't delay too long and keep them waiting.
Xie Zhiyi nodded and followed Yu Guiwan towards the entrance of the post station.
A slightly older palace maid stood beside the carriage. Seeing the two approaching, she quickly saluted and said, "Greetings, Princess, Your Highness. Please get in the carriage."
The two of them got on the carriage one after another, and soon the carriage slowly drove towards the palace.
……
The Imperial Palace of Zhao State.
The maid led the way for the two of them, saying, "The Queen has specially hosted a Dudan Flower Banquet today and has invited many of the wives of the ministers in the court. She also wants to introduce Princess Yong'an to them."
When the two arrived, there were already groups of female relatives standing in the imperial garden. Because of them, they all looked over.
"These are Princess Yong'an and Princess Chen from Xia Country, right?"
"It's true that people are shaped by the environment they live in. They both look so good-looking."
Xie Zhiyi nodded to the people present as a greeting, and the maid then led the two of them to sit down. As soon as they sat down, many people gathered around and came to Xie Zhiyi.
Everyone looked at Xie Zhiyi with fawning eyes, while Yu Guiwan was ignored. This was just as well, as Yu Guiwan was terrified of such things. Xie Zhiyi, on the other hand, handled these things with ease.
In the eyes of these people, Princess Yong'an will soon become the Crown Princess, and then she will be the Empress in the future, so naturally they have to curry favor with her, and besides, Princess Yong'an is coming for a marriage of peace.
There is no resistance in Zhao State, so naturally no one will refuse the benefits they offer.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and they were having a great time for a while.
suddenly.
When a palace maid came to pour tea, she accidentally spilled the water in the cup, soaking Xie Zhiyi's clothes. Seeing this, the palace maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, Princess! Please forgive me, Princess!"
If it were in Xia Country, Xie Zhiyi would definitely lose her temper and scold the palace maids before she would stop. But now that she is in Zhao Country, she has learned to be patient. Soon she smiled:
"It's okay, just change your clothes. Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Princess. I will take you to the side hall to change clothes."
The maid spoke with a look of gratitude.
Xie Zhiyi looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Then I'll be back soon." After that, Xie Zhiyi followed the palace maid and left.
Yu Guiwan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at Xie Zhiyi's thoroughness. However, she quickly realized that with Xie Zhiyi gone, their attention would be on her.
Thinking of this, Yu Guiwan immediately stood up and slipped away.
"Is this Princess Yong'an from Xia Country?"
Suddenly, a female voice sounded behind Yu Guiwan.
Yu Guiwan frowned upon hearing this, puzzled. Princess Yong'an? It wasn't her he was talking about, but it sounded like the voice was directed at her.
Thinking of this, Yu Guiwan turned around. In front of him was a woman who was about two years older than him. She was wearing exquisite palace clothing. Judging from the regulations of the clothing, she must be of a noble status.
"How dare you! You don't even bow to our Third Prince's wife when you see her!"
At this moment, the maid next to the person opposite immediately spoke.
Yu Guiwan finally realized that this was the Third Prince's Consort. Yu Guiwan still did not salute, but instead smiled and said, "I'm afraid the Third Prince's Consort has recognized the wrong person. I am not Princess Yong'an."
"You're not? I heard that Princess Yong'an is beautiful. If you're not, then who else here is?" she asked back. As she spoke, she turned around and looked around. Apart from the clothes sent by the Queen, who else would dare to wear such clothes?
Yu Guiwan shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
I think the Third Prince's Consort is facing Princess Yong'an, probably because of the Crown Prince. Although Zhao State has now appointed a Crown Prince, the Third Prince's Consort is extremely dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.
Otherwise, why would even an unmarried Princess Yong'an come here to argue?
However, the Third Prince's wife didn't know that they had cooperated with the Third Prince. But now it seems that they really shouldn't have told her.
"I heard that Xia Country is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, which is why the princess is so beautiful. But Princess, you didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has many beautiful concubines around him. I wonder what you think?"
The Third Prince's wife walked to Yu Guiwan's side and spoke in a low voice.
"Of course I don't feel anything, because I'm not Princess Yong'an at all." Yu Guiwan tilted her head and laughed, then pointed in a direction, "Third Princess, where is the person you are looking for?"
The Third Princess looked in the direction Yu Guiwan pointed and saw a man dressed similarly to Yu Guiwan walking towards them. She immediately realized something was wrong and turned to look at Yu Guiwan.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that Princess Chen of Xia had also come to Zhao with Princess Yong'an.
