After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

This banyan garden was originally the emperor's late residence. After the emperor ascended the throne, he changed it into a royal garden. It was named Banyan Garden because there were two banyan trees planted in the front yard.

It is said that these two banyan trees were planted by the emperor for the queen, symbolizing deep love and growing old together.

Liu Yunxiang followed Murong Zhixi in and saw that there were many women and men in the garden. They were all chatting and laughing together in groups. Royal family and royal family, aristocratic family and aristocratic family, ordinary officials and ordinary officials, from the way they dressed Seeing the difference in class, one really looks down on the other.

However, as soon as Murong Zhixi entered, some of the female family members glanced here inadvertently, and were attracted by her gorgeous clothes. Slowly, all the female family members looked towards her, showing surprise.

The Flower Festival is all about clothes, so everyone’s focus is on clothes.

"Princess Ying, come here quickly!" A lady in her thirties waved to Princess Ying.

Princess Ying stepped forward and saluted the woman, "Princess Jing'an, Jin An."

Liu Yunxiang scanned the circle of people, and all of them looked graceful, wearing pearls and jade, naturally carrying a sense of arrogance. She thought to herself that these women should be relatives of the emperor.

Princess Jing'an looked at Princess Ying's clothes and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch it, "Oh, it's so slippery and soft, like a handful of water."

Upon hearing this, others couldn't help but come up to touch it and praise it one after another.

"It is indeed, and when it is illuminated by the sun, it looks like thousands of stars are falling on it. It's so beautiful."

"Oh, it not only looks light, but also weighs the weight. It is quite light. It will not feel cumbersome even if you wear it."

"I have never seen such good materials before!"

"We haven't seen each other before!"

So everyone turned around and asked the Princess of England how this material could still shine.

Princess Ying smiled and said: "This material is called Golden Thread Moonlight, and there are gold threads buried in it, so it shines brightly when it is illuminated."

"In this way, it really looks like moonlight. Although it is brilliant, it is not dazzling. If you don't walk in the sun, the brilliance of this material will be much restrained."

Others agreed that people like them should be high-profile when they should be high-profile, and should be restrained when they should be restrained.

"By the way, Princess of England, where did you buy this material? Let's buy it later to make clothes." someone asked.

Murong Zhixi glanced sideways at Liu Yunxiang, and then said: "Nanhonglou, all the fabrics in their silk and satin shop are shipped from Da Rong Jiangnan. The materials are good, the patterns are new, and every piece is beautiful."

"Nanhonglou?" The man thought for a moment, "Why haven't you heard of it? Have you heard of it?"

Others also shook their heads, "We thought Princess Ying bought it from Huashang Pavilion."

These people recognize Huashang Pavilion very well and feel that the fabrics there are worthy of their status.

Murong Zhixi's thoughts changed and she said: "But the fabrics from Nanhonglou are too expensive, especially this one with gold thread and moonlight, which costs 1 taels. I can't bear to buy it."

When they heard that it was too expensive, it was a threshold for them. Only by meeting the threshold can they prove their status and wealth. These people became interested again.

"Ten thousand taels is nothing. I'll go take a look later and see if there's anything I like." One person said.

"Fourth sister-in-law, let's go together!"

"Let's go too!"

Liu Yunxiang secretly gave Murong Zhixi a thumbs up. At this time, a maid came over and said that the first assistant's wife had something to say to the princess.

Murong Zhixi sighed slightly and turned to look at Liu Yunxiang. What was supposed to come had come.

The first assistant's wife was waiting in the pavilion in front. Liu Yunxiang followed Murong Zhixi and whispered: "You just need to remember that you are the Princess of England and your status is higher than them. It is appropriate for them to respect you."

Murong Zhixi nodded slowly, but his face was still timid.

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly. This Murong Zhi was bullied by the two sisters and coerced by the mistress, and developed a cowardly appearance. It is not easy to change.

When walking to the pavilion, passing through the corridor, she saw the young men from aristocratic families chatting and laughing in the garden on the other side, while Yan Mu was sitting on the steps looking at the sky in the distance, empty, confused, and dull. of.

Murong Zhixi saw Liu Yunxiang looking towards the male family members and whispered: "They are not going to parade with her. They are just here to greet the queen when she leaves the palace."

Liu Yunxiang looked away and responded softly.

"By the way, did you see the man sitting on the steps?"

Liu Yunxiang's heart moved, "I saw it."

"He is your Seventh Prince of Da Rong, who came to Beijin as a hostage. His Royal Highness the King said that he used his troops treacherously, always taking the opponent by surprise, and never failed. His Highness's only regret is that he did not fight with this It’s a pity to fight on the battlefield and say that this is the God of War of Da Rong. As long as he is here, Da Rong can be stable for decades.”

"It's a pity."

Everyone in Beijin felt sorry for Yan Mu, but Da Rong pushed him to a dead end.

"The imperial court will not allow him to leave Beijin alive." Murong Zhixi added with a sigh.

When he came outside the pavilion, Liu Yunxiang saw the first assistant's wife and Murong Zhiqing sitting inside.

"They know me, so I won't go in."

Murong Zhixi's shoulders slumped, "I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know, but I feel panic and fear."

"Can they eat you?"

"..."

Liu Yunxiang patted Murong Zhixi on the shoulder and asked her to stand up, "I'll go around to the back of the pavilion. If you're scared, just look at me."

Murong Zhixi took a breath and quickly confirmed: "Then you have to let me see it."

Liu Yunxiang laughed, "Okay."

Watching Murong Zhixi walk into the pavilion, Liu Yunxiang walked around to the back, where there happened to be a crabapple tree for cover.

Seeing Murong Zhixi come in, Mrs. Murong and Murong Zhiqing couldn't help but cast their eyes on her clothes.

Murong Zhiqing was surprised at first, then raised her eyebrows, "Is this the dress you ordered from Nanhonglou?"

Murong Zhixi nodded, "Yes."

This dress was so beautiful and the material was so smooth. Murong Zhiqing couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but she thought of something and hurriedly took her hand back, and then her face sank.

"Mother is thinking about you and sent someone to bring you clothes early in the morning. Why don't you wear them?"

Murong Zhixi looked at Madam Murong and saw that her face was really gloomy. She couldn't help but panic. She hurried to find Liu Yunxiang and saw her at the crabapple tree. Seeing her nodding towards him, she felt much more at ease.

"My mother probably forgot that I'm five months pregnant and those clothes don't fit."

"Those clothes are obviously very loose..."

"Today is the Flower Festival, I want to wear new clothes."

As soon as these words came out, both Madam Murong and Murong Zhiqing were stunned for a moment. Murong Zhixi had never been so tough in front of them. Sometimes she was forced to have no choice but to retort loudly. Before anything happened, she cried first. .

Madam Murong took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with mother."

"No, it's just the Hundred Flowers Festival today. I just want to wear something I like, that's all."

"I heard that you beat the maid your mother gave you as a dowry?"

"Yes……"

Madam Murong lowered her eyes and said coldly: "You have stiff wings, and you even dare to hit your mother on the face."

Murong Zhixi pursed her lips and said, "That maid was so unruly that I asked someone to beat her."

"Who is the one who has no rules?" Madam Murong slammed the table.

Clang!

Murong Zhixi instinctively tightened her shoulders and lowered her head.

Murong Zhiqing sneered coldly: "If you disobey your mother, you deserve to be slapped by yourself!"
