Chapter 14 There is no beauty in the world

Jiang Xiyuan looked at the eldest lady and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Mother, Jiang Wenyue is just a concubine. For a concubine, she is so fussy about the gift of haircut. Isn't it a bit of a fuss?"

Jiang Xiyuan's hairpin ceremony had already passed, and as the eldest daughter's birthday, her birthday was one of the most solemn in the capital.

But in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, she is the only legitimate daughter who can have such an honor. As for her concubines, they are only of hair age. It would be good to invite a few familiar ladies to watch the ceremony.

Now, when she heard the eldest lady behind the screen saying that she wanted to do something big for Jiang Wenyue, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Only then did the eldest lady suddenly realize why Jiang Xiyuan was so unhappy. She pulled Jiang Xiyuan to sit down and said earnestly: "Jiao'er, Mom, you are such a precious daughter, how can I let that unworthy concubine compare to you?"

"It's just that my mother never expected that Jiang Wenyue, a concubine who usually seems to stay at home and is peaceful, could capture the prince's soul after attending a flower-viewing banquet."

"If she wants to seduce her, just do it." Jiang Xiyuan didn't care. No matter how good the title of Crown Princess was, she didn't care about it. The Crown Prince wanted Jiang Wenyue to be the Crown Princess, which was actually a good thing for her.

"It's because of this that Mom gave her some good looks. You are the only daughter in Mom's heart. What's more, the grand arrangements for her birthday party were all because of you."

"for me?"

Jiang Xiyuan was a little surprised and looked at the eldest lady in confusion.

The eldest lady came close to Jiang Xiyuan's ear and whispered to Jiang Xiyuan for a while. Jiang Xiyuan's worry turned to happiness and her brows relaxed.

"Thank you mother for planning for your daughter."

The eldest lady waved her hand and asked the maid Yuzhen beside her to bring the jewelry she had prepared early: "Mom, I asked the warehouse to pick some good things to give to Jiang Wenyue, but I always keep the best ones.

Here it is for you."

Jiang Xiyuan opened the box and found a set of ruby ​​heads and faces, which looked very bright and dazzling.

Jiang Xiyuan has a flamboyant personality and has always liked such extremely colorful and gorgeous jewelry. She really liked it after seeing it.

The eldest lady caressed Jiang Xiyuan's fair and rosy girlish face: "My lovely child is so beautiful, like a blooming peony, which is unparalleled in the world. How can it be compared to those wild flowers and weeds on the roadside?"

Go back and dress up well, and on the day of the birthday party, let everyone see what it means to be beautiful forever, and a beautiful woman is beautiful."

The eldest lady was born into a well-known family, so naturally she had some literary talents, so Jiang Xiyuan was very happy to coax her back to her courtyard.

The night light was warm and hazy, and Jiang Wenyue looked at the jade head and face in the box.

Ranxiang stood aside and looked at it: "The jade hairdress and hairdresser sent by the eldest lady is very elegant and generous. Tomorrow is the lady's birthday and hairpin gift. Do you want to wear this hairpin hairdresser?"

Jiang Wenyue closed the box: "No, just put this jade head and face away."

"What jewelry are you planning to wear tomorrow?"

Jiang Wenyue opened the jewelry box and picked out two elegant and unobtrusive ones: "Just wear this walking rocker and these hairpins."

Ranxiang saw that the jewelry chosen by Jiang Wenyue were all very elegant, solemn and elegant but not outstanding at all. She whispered: "Tomorrow is the lady's big day. The lady should dress up brightly and neatly."

"No, it's just a birthday celebration, just wear these."

Jiang Wenyue insisted that even if there was a grand birthday party tomorrow, she would not stand out.

The next morning, Jiang Wenyue got up early and put on the luxurious dress that the eldest lady had asked her to make for her. It was said to be luxurious, which meant it was a little more complicated than usual, and the material was better, even better than usual.

Not as good as Jiang Xiyuan’s gorgeous clothes.

But for Jiang Wenyue, it was just right.

When she appeared in front of the guests in an aqua dress, they all praised her.

"This is the second young lady of the prime minister's house? She is indeed pretty, dignified, beautiful, and generous."

With a decent smile on her face, Jiang Wenyue responded to everyone's questions. She never said too much and she looked very gentle and quiet.

While the eldest lady was entertaining the guests, Jiang Xiyuan and her personal maid came out.

Today she was wearing a rose-red floor-length dress, with jingling pearls on her head, and a red flower patch on her forehead. She was both noble and beautiful, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone's attention began to shift from Jiang Wenyue to Jiang Xiyuan. If Jiang Xiyuan is a peony, Jiang Wenyue is like a green leaf that sets off the peony.

The most important thing is that Jiang Wenyue discovered that the ruby ​​tiara worn by Jiang Xiyuan, who was chatting and laughing freely with the guests there, was very similar to the jade tiara given to her by the eldest lady.

The set of jadeite hair and face looks elegant and generous when taken out alone. It seems to be very good, but jadeite should be worn by an older woman to show that kind of temperament.

Jiang Wenyue had just turned fifteen. After all, she was young and wearing emerald would look very old-fashioned.

The ruby ​​is different. The bright red color is so dazzling under the sunlight, which is very suitable for Jiang Xiyuan's temperament.

It is conceivable that if Jiang Wenyue really used the set of jade hair and face given by the eldest lady, she would definitely be looked at as a joke by the lady attending the birthday party today, with the red flowers and green leaves.

On the birthday of a concubine, her legitimate daughter suddenly stole the limelight.

Although Jiang Wenyue, dressed as she is now, is not as dazzling as Jiang Xiyuan, she looks very elegant and has her own style, at least she will not be ridiculed.

At this moment, Prince Yun Chi arrived unexpectedly, which made the Prime Minister's Mansion very busy. Everyone knelt down to salute.

Yun Chi sent congratulatory gifts, which were all the beaded hairpins, silks and satins that the girl's family liked. They were brought in in boxes and boxes, which was very spectacular.

Jiang Wenyue didn't even look at it twice before letting her move into the public warehouse.

Yun Chi hurriedly said: "This is a gift given to the second lady by this palace alone. Naturally, it should be moved back to the second lady's yard."

Although he didn't understand the secrets of the inner house, he still understood that the key to the warehouse was in the hands of the mistress, the mistress, and if these things were sent to the palace's warehouse, they would definitely be disposed of by the mistress.

Only by sending it to Jiang Wenyue's yard can the things reach Jiang Wenyue's hands.

Jiang Wenyue didn't care at all: "Your Highness, according to the rules, the gifts from the birthday banquet should be moved into the palace's warehouse. What's more, Your Highness has sent so many things, and I can't fit them in my daughter's small yard."

Yun Chi frowned slightly, thinking that Madam should give Jiang Wenyue a more spacious yard.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, and his concubines and his legitimate daughters are all daughters. What's more, Jiang Wenyue is the person he cares about, so how can the eldest lady treat her badly?

Seeing this, the eldest lady quickly stepped forward to greet her and asked Yun Chi to sit in the distinguished guest's seat.

In front of a large audience, Yun Chi couldn't bear to be too explicit, so he had to sit down first.

Soon, he discovered something was wrong.

Didn't we agree that today would be Jiang Wenyue's birthday party? Why did it look like Jiang Xiyuan's birthday party?
