TVSWWD - Chapter 22 - Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet

"Eh, Princess, look!"

Xiao Cui carefully supported Murong Yun, and with her sharp eyes, she saw a plainly dressed man over fifty years old, who was furiously writing at a hidden corner.

"It's that old stubborn Imperial Censor Li!"

Xiao Cui is angry, the county princess is already in such a miserable state, and this person comes to add insult to injury. He was clearly trying to impeach the princess again!

"That's just it, let him be."

Murong Yun waved her hand weakly, how could she have the leisure to care about this.

On the contrary, Imperial Censor Li, seeing that Murong Yun did not cause trouble for him as before, couldn't help stroking his beard and exclaimed:

"That's weird, that's weird."

Because of this incident, Murong Yun hid in the princess mansion for several days and did not dare to go out, for fear that something would happen again.

Until a gold-painted invitation was delivered.

"It's the annual Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace."

Xiao Cui looked at the familiar gold-sprinkled card and recognized it at a glance as the paper card commonly used in the palace.

Unknowingly, Murong Yun has been in this book world for more than a month, and the weather has turned slightly cooler.

"...Then let's wear the new clothes presented by the palace's clothing maker yesterday."

Murong Yun put the card on the desk and said casually. Her beautiful face was contemplative, and her hand rubbed the teacup casually.

It was finally determined that there was no relevant plot description in the book about this palace banquet, which meant that it was safe!

Thinking of this, she was relieved. When she heard about this banquet invitation, she was afraid of any plot lines.

Because of the last accident, she didn’t even go shopping much... It was frustrating, to say the least.

The most troublesome thing is that she couldn't raise her spiritual cultivation level!

No matter how much wood spirit crystals are used, there is no way to break through the sixth level...

Regarding this, Mu Mian's explanation is that her current physical fitness can only accept this level. If she wants to continue to improve, she can only break through herself...

That is to say, through exercise. Thinking of the ascetic life, Murong Yun still wimped out. She planned to wait until she got older before making a breakthrough naturally.

"By the way, has anything special happened to Liu Jing recently?"

Murong Yun asked Xiao Cui, who was arranging the decorations on the dressing table for her. She had previously given instructions to pay special attention to the affairs of the Liu Jing nobles, especially the family of Prime Minister Baili.

Originally, Baili Shuangxue was supposed to become famous in Liu Jing through the plot line of her elder sister-in-law's slip. Therefore, she attracted the attention of Prime Minister Baili and investigated and found that the other party was his daughter who was living outside.

Then with the Bai Fumei identity, her Mary Sue halo opened.

However, after being disturbed by her, it might be different now. She felt that the Heavenly way would not let it go, and it should be preparing for a big move.

"Huh? Nothing special."

Xiao Cui stopped and confirmed again and again that there had been no news from Luan Guards recently.

Then he took out a red gold osmanthus gem tassel crown, brought it to Murong Yun, and asked respectfully:

"Princess, what do you think of wearing this flower crown at the banquet?"

Murong Yun glanced at it with a lack of interest, her eyes were almost caught by the shining gold bling bling, and she quickly rejected it three times.

"No, no, it's too complicated."

It’s better not to be the most beautiful golden lady in the palace for the time being, for fear of plot arrangements for her.

"Just prepare a few simple hair accessories."

When Xiao Cui heard her princess's rejection, she glanced at the luxurious hair crown with a little pity.

She didn't know why the princess suddenly changed her mood and became less gorgeous, although it was good. 

Even if it is a simple hair accessory, she, Xiao Cui, will never allow the princess to be overshadowed by other noble girls!

At the same time, the most famous Kabuki performer, Liu Hua is still hard at work rehearsing the moon worship dance specially prepared for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Among them, one new girl stands out ......

It wasn't until the Mid-Autumn Festival that Murong Yun was dragged by Xiao Cui to dress up for an entire afternoon before she finally put on all the layers of palace clothes.

"As expected of the County princess, even if she dresses up a little, she will surely outshine the rest!"

Xiao Cui helped her put on the last shawl, looked at the peerless beauty in the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror with satisfaction, and was unable to hold back her admiration.

The beauty is as gorgeous as a peach and plum and is beyond words. She is covered in white gauze and a red skirt. Her eyes are flowing, and her every expression can easily take away the breath of others.

The breathtakingly beautiful Murong Yun nearly suffocated looking at herself.

"This doesn't need to be so perfect."

Murong Yun saw how beautiful the beauty in the mirror looked now, and thought about the tragic ending in the future, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Princess, any more plainness it will seem that you don't value this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."

Xiao Cui didn't understand her troubles, so she picked out a red-jeweled Phoenix Bu Yao from the jade plate held by the maid on one side and put it on her head.

Just when she was worrying about whether to add a pair of jade pins on the other side, Murong Yun had already picked up her skirt and was about to leave.

"That's it. I think it's time to set off."

After these days, she has figured out Xiao Cui's temperament. This person's biggest hobby is to dress her up as a luxurious and noble royal lady...

As for whether it's comfortable or not, that's not a consideration.

"County Princess~ Xiao Cui thought this pair of jade..."

Xiao Cui reluctantly touched the pair of translucent jade pins, trying to persuade Murong Yun.

The latter quickly put down her skirt, took out the princess's majesty she had practiced these days, and told her: "Xiao Cui, go and find out if those people next door have left? Especially Heir Li."

"What is the princess' plan?"

As soon as she heard Murong Yun's instructions, Xiao Cui stopped worrying about dressing up and instead thought about the princess specifically mentioning Heir Li.

Could it be that after being frivolous with Heir Li last time, she still thinks Heir Li is more attractive?

Seeing the subtle smile on Xiao Cui's face, Murong Yun's head was pounding. Who would have thought that this little maid had such inappropriate things in her mind? 

"Don't think too much. This princess is very pure. She doesn't have those things. I just want to avoid them."

"After all, my eldest sister-in-law is too heavy to attend the palace banquet. It would be awkward for me, the princess, as a female family member to go with three grown men."

"Is that so?"

Xiao Cui's face was particularly suspicious. Murong Yun was also easy to talk to during this period. In the past, she would never dare to question her.

"Of course, not to mention that the princess has a distinguished status, so she will naturally be the last to appear."

Murong Yun acted according to the memory of the original owner and frightened Xiao Cui in an instant.

Obediently, she went out to inquire about the general's mansion next door.

Under special scrutiny, Murong Yun's Luan carriage did not go out in a low-key manner until the three carriages next door went out.

Because she went out late, she didn't meet most of the people attending the palace banquet when she arrived at the palace gate.

Usually, powerful people would arrive an hour early in order not to be late or to socialize in advance. Only someone with an iron backer like her could be so leisurely.

As soon as Murong Yun got off the Luan carriage, a familiar-looking eunuch came up to her, his characteristic high-pitched voice filled with surprise.

"Hey, my County princess, you have finally arrived."
