Chapter 290 - 290: People From the Imperial Palace

Meng Xia paced anxiously back and forth in front of Yu Yunxi.

On the contrary, Yu Yunxi was very calm. She sat lazily on the chair and yawned listlessly before she said, “Meng Xia, there are still four hours before the banquet begins. Don’t worry.”

Meng Xia let out a long sigh. Although there were four hours left, they might not be enough.

“By the way, the palace sent someone to help you with your makeup. I’m sure they brought palace dresses as well. I’ll go and have a look,” Meng Xia said.

However, just before Meng Xia left, a servant rushed in. He panted as he said, “Eldest, Eldest Princess, an old woman came to the door. She said she’s here to deliver something to you.”

“She’s here?” Yu Yunxi smiled.

Meng Xia hurriedly looked at the servant meaningfully, and the other party quickly left.

When the other party returned, she was accompanied by another maidservant. This was because the dress was too heavy.

“Eldest Princess, this dress is too heavy,” the young maidservant said worriedly.

Yu Yunxi shook her head and said indifferently, “It’s fine.”

She quickly entered the room and quickly put on the dress with the help of a few maidservants.

The dress was as splendid as a rainbow. Its pattern was exquisite and beautiful, and the material was smooth to the touch. It was obvious that the old woman had put a lot of effort into making the dress.

Yu Yunxi suddenly thought about what she had paid for the dress and felt that the Raiment of Rainbows had suffered a loss.

As though she could read Yu Yunxi’s thoughts, the maidservant next to her said, “Eldest Princess, when that granny handed the dress over, she said that you’re her first customer in the past two months. She wanted me to thank you for your trust. She said this dress suits you a lot and that she’ll be very happy if you wear this dress…”

Yu Yunxi was slightly moved when she heard these words.

At this moment, a voice rang from outside.

“Eldest Princess, we’re the nannies from the imperial palace. We’re going to help you apply makeup and style your hair.”

“Come in,” Yu Yunxi said lightly.

Subsequently, five old women and three palace maids came in with a bunch of things. When the old women saw Yu Yunxi, their expressions changed immediately.

One of the old women called out tremblingly with red eyes, “Princess Changning…”

“Do you know my mother?” Yu Yunxi asked suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, the old woman seemed to realize she had lost her composure. She quickly wiped her tears away and said respectfully, “I used to serve Princess Changning. When I saw you, I was reminded of the past.” Yu Yunxi nodded and said softly, “You may start.”

When Yu Yunxi saw the expensive hair accessories on her head, she said helplessly, “I don’t want to wear too many accessories on my head. Make it simple.”

The old woman from before said seriously, “Eldest Princess, all of these belonged to your maternal grandmother back then. Before she passed, she left these things for your mother. Now, they naturally belong to you.”

The old woman began to explain each piece to Yu Yunxi seriously, “She wore this hairpin when she sat on the throne with the Emperor Emeritus. She wore this jade bracelet during her conferment ceremony. As for this earring…” Clearly, all of them were very precious.

Since these were her grandmother’s things, she would naturally cherish them.

The old woman leaned over at this moment and whispered, “Empress Qin and the other princesses have coveted these things for a long time, but the Emperor Emeritus refused to give them to anyone.”

Realization dawned on Yu Yunxi. The old woman was likely one of her grandfather’s people as well.

Empress Qin and the other princesses were noble and naturally did not lack these things. Even if the jewelry was beautiful, it was not difficult for them to find a more beautiful one. It was likely that they wanted these things to affirm their status.

‘Did Grandfather send these things over to show his attitude to the others?’

When Yu Yunxi was done, she stood up and slowly turned around.

Everyone was stunned. For a moment, some of them felt as though Princess Changning was standing in front of them.

Yu Yunxi’s appearance was outstanding, to begin with, and the dress matched her temperament perfectly.

Suddenly, the old woman turned around and asked Meng Xia in a strange tone,

“Is this dress sent by Empress Qin?”

She had heard that the Empress had sent someone to take Yu Yunxi’s measurements yesterday, intending to make a dress for Yu Yunxi to wear tonight. However, with the Empress’ jealous personality, how could she make such a beautiful dress for Yu Yunxi?

“Meng Xia replied, “Nanny Zhu, we bought the dress.”

Nanny Zhu was a little anxious when she heard this. “Eldest Princess, you have a noble status. The dress bought from outside…”

“Nanny Zhu, you just said the dress is beautiful, right? The craftsmen outside the palace aren’t necessarily inferior to the ones in the palace,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

Nanny Zhu fell silent. She felt that Yu Yunxi had a point.

At this moment, Meng Xia reminded in a low voice, “Eldest Princess, it’s almost time to set off…

Yu Yunxi nodded and walked out of the room. Although her dress was heavy, it did not affect someone like her who practiced martial arts. She walked easily. Her steps were stable, and her back was straight.

Nanny Zhu and the others sighed in relief when they saw this. Yu Yunxi had been wandering outside for many years, and they were worried that she would not be familiar with the proper etiquette and that she would make a fool out of herself in front of the Emperor and the others.

‘This is too… ostentatious and grand…’

“Eldest Princess, I’m An Hua, the deputy general of the imperial army. The Emperor ordered me to escort you into the palace,” An Hua, who was dressed in armor, said after he stepped forward. When he saw Yu Yunxi’s beautiful face, he was briefly stunned. When he returned to his senses, he quickly lowered his head.

‘They were sent by the Emperor?’

“Did the Emperor send all these people here?” Yu Yunxi asked softly. Although her voice was soft, it brought with it an invisible pressure..
