Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

"Second sister, why don't you go out to relax today? Could it be that something has held you back? Well, tonight is a family dinner! For such an important occasion, I still don't know how to dress up. So I have no choice but to come to you shamelessly! I was thinking if I could get some advice from you on what kind of clothes you plan to wear to the family dinner. That way, I can go back and prepare something similar for myself!"

Hearing this familiar voice coming from far away, Jingsi and Yongqi, who were busy in the house, couldn't help but stop what they were doing. After looking at each other, they turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the door, waiting for the figure.

Jing Si looked at Jing Shuang who walked into the room uninvited and looked very familiar with her, and a trace of doubt surged in her heart. Although they were both princesses in the palace and only a few years apart in age, when it came to the degree of intimacy, it was far from the point where they could visit each other casually and show intimacy. However, out of politeness and upbringing, Jing Si still smiled at Jing Shuang and gently curled the corners of his mouth to show friendship.

Then, Jing Si stepped back, revealing several large boxes behind her. These boxes were filled with all kinds of gorgeous clothes. She frowned and said with a sad face:

"I really can't decide which one to wear! However, my mother helped me pick out a sky-blue pearl round-necked robe. Maybe I will wear what my mother picked for me tonight. If my sister also wants to wear a similar style of clothes to attend the family dinner, I'm afraid she will have to go back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask if there are clothes of similar colors to try."

After saying that, Jing Si sighed helplessly, seeming to be a little annoyed about the upcoming family dinner. Standing aside, Jing Shuang silently observed all this, with an imperceptible light flashing in her eyes.

Jingshuang casually reached forward and gently touched the piece of clothing in Jingsi's hand. A hint of subtle surprise flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by the ecstatic expression on her face.

"This is actually ancient fragrant brocade!" Jingshuang couldn't help but exclaimed, her voice full of disbelief and excitement. She carefully held the dress in her palm, carefully examining its delicate texture and unique luster, as if she was appreciating an invaluable work of art.

Then, Jingshuang took a deep breath, feeling the elegant fragrance emanating from the fabric. She closed her eyes, intoxicated by it, and murmured to herself: "This ancient fragrant brocade is a rare treasure! It is said that a special spice was blended into it during production, making the entire fabric emit a light fragrance. And the clothes made of it are as light as clouds, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling."

Jingshuang opened her eyes and looked at Jingsi, her eyes full of envy and expectation. She sincerely praised: "If my sister wears this gorgeous dress made of ancient fragrant brocade to attend the banquet tonight, she will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention and stun everyone!"

At this moment, Yongji, who had been sitting silently beside him, suddenly coughed softly. He really couldn't stand Jingshuang always acting like she was inferior to Jingsi in everything.

So, he decided to interrupt appropriately: "Sister Jingshuang, last month the Empress Dowager asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send two pieces of ancient fragrant brocade satin to each palace! I'm afraid you have been so busy studying recently that you haven't noticed this, right?"

Hearing Yongqi expose her so bluntly, the joyful expression that Jingshuang was trying hard to show froze on her face instantly, and a trace of barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across her eyes.

However, after only a moment, she quickly regained her composure, and gently stroked the dress a few more times, then replied with an envious look on her face:

"That's true, but it's a pity that those pieces of satin were treasured by my mother. As soon as the Ministry of Internal Affairs delivered them, my mother couldn't wait to put them in the storehouse for safekeeping. So, this is the first time in my life that I have seen clothes made of such gorgeous ancient brocade! I hope my elder brother and second sister will not laugh at me."

Jingsi widened his eyes and stared straight at the older sister in front of him who was chattering and talking to herself. He felt helpless, but out of politeness and respect, he still raised the corners of his mouth slightly in a very stiff and unnatural way to express his response.

However, in reality, Jing Si had no interest in paying attention to Jing Shuang, who was acting strangely and slightly neurotic. He even hoped that she would have some self-awareness and disappear as soon as possible! After all, at this moment, he really couldn't muster the energy to chat with such a person.

Fortunately, Jingshuang seemed to have noticed the obvious unwelcome expressions on Yongji and Jingsi's faces. Just as the atmosphere in the room became increasingly awkward, Jingshuang hurriedly found an excuse and left in a hurry.

Jing Si looked at the clothes in his hand with surprise, and followed Jing Shuang's figure as she walked away, thinking to himself:

What happened to Jingshuang today? She unexpectedly came to Changchun Palace on her own initiative and talked a lot to herself. She also said that she had never seen such a material as ancient fragrant satin, but her mother would give priority to sending some rare and precious fabrics to the princess's concubines every month!

Thinking of this, Jingsi couldn't help but shook her head. She felt that Jingshuang's aggrieved look just now was as if she was blaming her mother for mistreating her and her daughter.

Jing Si casually handed the clothes that Jing Shuang had just touched to Rong Pei.

"Aunt Rong Pei, I will wear this dress tonight. Please take it down for inspection. If there is no problem, send it back."

As a princess in the palace, Jingsi has known since childhood that she must be careful about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Tonight is a family dinner, and her mother told the Emperor that if she behaves well tonight, her marriage will be settled soon in the future. She also doesn't want to make any mistakes, so naturally she has to pay extra attention to these things.

Jing Si knew that the candidate that his father the emperor preferred should be Ba Le Bu who was now living in the palace. Although Jing Si did not have any special affection for Ba Le Bu, he did not particularly dislike him either.

After all, compared to marrying a man, what I care more about is how much benefit I can get from marrying that man. This is what I want most.
