Token No. 220
The next day.
Wu Weiwei got up early to dress up.
"Auntie, is this your first time entering the palace? Isn't your attire a bit too plain?"
Today, Wu Weiwei wore a light mint green dress, which was not only simple and elegant.
Even her makeup was only instructed by her aunt to be lightly powdered!
Wu Weiwei looked at herself in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror has a beautiful face.
Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint glow.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes seemed to shimmer with water as they moved, yet they also contained boundless charm.
Wu Weiwei smiled and said:
"I am going to the palace to meet the concubines, so it would be better if I dressed more simply."
Since her entry into the palace wasn't a talent show, she naturally tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.
Just as they were about to leave, someone from Yong'an Hall arrived.
"Aunt Wu, these are the jewelry pieces that the Old Madam asked me to bring."
"Granny Zhang, what is it?"
Lingfu looked at the exquisite box in her hand and asked curiously.
Granny Zhang smiled.
"This is the white jade phoenix hairpin that the old lady brought with her when she was a bride."
I heard that Consort Wu entered the palace today, so I was specially asked to bring this to her.
As she spoke, Zhang Mama took out the hairpin from the box and skillfully inserted it into Wu Weiwei's hair bun.
"Look! Doesn't this match your aunt's outfit perfectly today?"
"Granny Zhang, you should know."
I was just thinking that my aunt was missing something in her hair, and it turns out she was missing a hair ornament...
Lingfu said happily.
Wanqiu nodded with a smile.
indeed.
Seven parts looks, three parts dressing up.
If we say that their aunt is nine out of ten in looks.
Now, paired with this hair ornament, it's a perfect score.
"In that case, Weiwei thanks you, Madam!"
Wu Weiwei said politely.
The reason the Dowager was so generous in giving her such a valuable dowry was simply to get her to plead for He Yuyan in front of Consort Jing.
"Hehe, Aunt Wu, you're too kind."
"This old servant wishes you all the best in your endeavors!"
Wu Weiwei smiled and nodded.
However, the smile on her face vanished instantly after Zhang Mama left.
"The carriage is already waiting outside, let's go!"
Jingyang Palace.
"Xiao Tao, I heard that Prince Lu's favorite concubine will be entering the palace today?"
The palace maid who was combing the concubine's hair was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, Your Highness, it seems so."
"They say she's incredibly beautiful. Is she even more beautiful than me?"
Xie Yaoji looked at her beautiful face in the mirror and suddenly asked a question.
"This……"
Xiao Tao was somewhat embarrassed.
She had only been transferred here recently to take care of Consort Ji, so she didn't know much about her mistress's character.
She had seen Lu Dushi's beautiful concubine at the Qingshan Hunting Grounds; she was indeed stunningly beautiful.
Compared to the concubines he serves, she is probably no better or worse.
Even more than that.
As a maidservant who took care of Consort Ji, she naturally could not tell the truth.
Therefore, I could only reply, "Your Highness, in my heart, you are the most beautiful!"
Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have promoted you to the rank of Consort in such a short time.
Consort Ji touched her face.
"Really?"
"Really, what I'm saying is the truth..."
"Ha ha……"
Is Xiaotao just lying to herself?
If she is really that beautiful, why did Lu Hanting not look at her back in Jiangnan?
Seeing the fleeting jealousy in Consort Ji's eyes, Xiao Tao quickly lowered her gaze.
"Come, follow me to Hanxiang Palace to visit Consort Jing."
She wanted to see just how beautiful this concubine of the Prince Lu, whom everyone praised, really was!
Qiu Xinyuan.
Dingxiang waited all day, but still didn't receive a reply from them.
Could it be that they didn't receive their letter?
Impossible. Yesterday she spent ten taels of silver to have that little beggar deliver the message.
Could it be that the little beggar embezzled her money and refused to do anything for her?
Dingxiang waited anxiously.
The girl will be taken to the execution ground the day after tomorrow.
If no one comes to her rescue, the girl may lose her life.
How to do?
"Creak" sound.
The gate was pushed open.
Dingxiang lifted the curtain and stepped out.
Then she saw Xie Ningxin leading her maid towards her.
"Miss Xie, it's you?"
Xie Ningxin looked at Dingxiang.
You think I wanted to come here?
It's really unlucky.
If she hadn't owed He Yuyan a favor, she thought she would have wanted to come.
Seeing Xie Ningxin's unwilling expression, Dingxiang didn't know what she meant.
She didn't believe that she was willing to save her own daughter.
But judging from her tone, it seemed she had no choice but to help.
Upon seeing this, Dingxiang knelt down before her.
"Miss Xie, I know you must have a way. Please, please save my daughter!"
"Alright, get up!"
The two went into the inner room.
"Alright, there's no one else here. Give me your things!"
"what?"
Dingxiang was baffled.
Xie Ningxin stared intently at her.
“Your master said you should know where the token is.”
Find it for me, so I can help you contact someone to rescue her..."
Upon hearing Xie Ningxin's words, Dingxiang suddenly realized something.
Yes, a token.
But what exactly was the token that the girl used to communicate with that person?
Dingxiang was unaware that the girl and that person usually communicated through letters.
When asked about a keepsake, she was stumped.
Seeing Dingxiang's appearance, Xie Ningxin lost her patience.
"If you don't have it, don't blame me for not helping her..."
Yes, definitely.
"Miss Xie, please wait a moment, let me think."
Dingxiang recalled the girl's interactions with that man.
But after thinking it over, it seemed that his daughter hadn't brought anything back.
"Right, I think I know what it is."
Dingxiang hurriedly ran towards the backyard.
Soon.
Xie Ningxin then noticed that she was holding a handful of grass.
"it is this!"
Dingxiang said happily.
If we were to talk about a token between them, it would probably be this.
"What the hell is this?"
Xie Ningxin smelled a strange odor and complained.
"Never mind what this is, what the girl is talking about must be this."
Miss Xie, please help me deliver this to that person..."
After she finished speaking, Dingxiang knelt down before her.
“Miss Xie has shown great kindness to our young lady today. Dingxiang will definitely repay her on behalf of our master when the opportunity arises.”
"hehe!"
She was just a lowly servant girl; who cared about her reward?
After taking the items, Xie Ningxin left.
Hanxiang Hall.
Consort Jing looked at the emperor's newest favorite concubine with a smile on her face.
"What brings my sister here to keep me company today?"
Consort Jing couldn't figure out her purpose, but since the person had arrived, she had no choice but to entertain her.
"You're too kind, sister."
My sister has no one to talk to in the palace, and she has no relatives or friends in the capital.
I often hear His Majesty say that Consort Jing is the gentlest person in the palace.
I'm afraid they won't mind their sister coming over to bother them..."
Consort Ji looked at Consort Jing with a faint smile on her lips.
Consort Jing looked helpless.
It would be fine at other times.
The Wu family of the Marquis of Dingguo will be arriving soon.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, she won't know whether to kick out Consort Ji or not!
Just then, a palace maid came in to report.
"Your Highness, Consort Jing, Lady Wu, the concubine of the Marquis of Dingguo's heir, has arrived!"
