Winter

If there was one place that was the busiest today, it would definitely be the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. Because of Concubine Shu's birthday, the Empress Dowager ordered a banquet to be held in her own palace.

After Cheng Mingran arrived at Shoukang Palace today, the empress dowager took her directly to the dressing table and asked her to sit down.

"Aunt?" Cheng Mingran was confused. What was she going to do?

"You are the birthday girl today, so just stay here and leave the rest to the people below." The Queen Mother said with a smile on her face.

Well... Cheng Mingran looked at herself in the mirror silently, and then she saw many palace servants coming in with trays in their hands, on which were placed all kinds of jewelry and head ornaments.

"Our Ranran will definitely be the most beautiful girl today." said the Queen Mother.

"I'm still a little girl. I'll be embarrassed if my aunt continues talking like this." Cheng Mingran seemed to be in a much better mood today.

"Our Ranran is always a little girl. A woman must be good to herself. No matter what happened in the past, it is all in the past. There is no need to dwell too much on the past. It will serve no purpose other than adding to your own troubles. So Ranran must be happy. Put yourself first at all times and in all situations. If you are not good to yourself, no one else will be good to you." The queen mother said a lot of things earnestly.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it, aunt." It was rare for her to relax a little today.

"Okay, sit down nicely, I'll ask them to help you dress up," said the Queen Mother.

Cheng Mingran nodded and handed herself over to them for "disposal". The Queen Mother bought her a new set of everything she needed from head to toe.

Cheng Mingran hadn't dressed up like this for a long time. If it was before, she would have been the one who loved beauty the most. But now... she no longer had the heart to do so.

After the palace maids finished dressing her, Cheng Mingran looked at herself in the mirror and felt dazed. After she came out of the cold palace, she looked haggard most of the time, and because she was often sick, her complexion was not good, not to mention her energy and spirit.

Now... She slowly touched her face with her hand. The Queen Mother stood behind her: "Ranran is very beautiful."

"Aunt, I almost don't recognize myself anymore." Cheng Mingran said.

"Ranran has grown up, but she is still very beautiful. Okay, go change your clothes. I have prepared a new dress for you. You will definitely like it." The Queen Mother held Cheng Mingran's hand.

Cheng Mingran stood up with her, and the maid quickly brought a new dress. Cheng Mingran was stunned when she saw the color of the dress. This color...

"Aunt, isn't this a little too bright? This color is too delicate, maybe it's not suitable for me." Cheng Mingran's face was full of worry.

But the Queen Mother didn't care at all: "What's the big deal? Go and try it on. I have made some adjustments to this style." said the Queen Mother.

Ok……

However, when Cheng Mingran tried on the dress, she discovered that not only was the color a bit inappropriate, but the style wasn't suitable either. This was clearly an outfit for her teenage years, and it was too different from her current status.

Would this... not be in accordance with etiquette? And would it look too childish if I wore this?
