As soon as the sky was getting light, there was movement in Qingxi Pavilion.

Xu Wanying had been called up. She sat at the head of the bed, staring blankly with lifeless eyes, allowing the maids to dress her up.

If it were any other day, she would have dated Zhou Gong, but today she had to attend a banquet with her mother-in-law.

After arriving in ancient times, she was finally able to go out, so she was naturally excited. Therefore, even though her biological clock had not yet adjusted, she still got up from the bed.

When she had packed up and walked near the courtyard gate, she saw Cen and Jiang Jinyu were already waiting there.

Both mother and daughter were dressed in a restrained and elegant manner, Cen was dignified and noble, while Jiang Jinyu was fresh and elegant.

They both looked at Xu Wanying carefully. She was wearing a lake blue cape, and her blue-purple skirt was visible when she walked. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with plum blossoms in gold thread, which was very eye-catching.

The embroidered shoes that were vaguely visible had huge oriental pearls inlaid on the toes, which made her look even more luxurious.

She wore her hair in a bun with a Yuanbao bun in it today, and wore a ruby ​​filigree gold hairpin on her head, with a hairpin hanging on the side, which complemented the ruby ​​earrings on her ears.

Different from the restrained style of the two Cen brothers, Xu Wanying went for the aesthetic and luxurious style. Without a close look, one could tell at a glance that her outfit was quite expensive.

Although there is no bright red background and only rubies are used as embellishments, it still makes people see that she is bright and lovely at a glance.

"Third sister-in-law, you look so beautiful, you are more beautiful than flowers!"

Jiang Jinyu immediately started to praise him, and she meant what she said sincerely.

Before coming, she was very afraid that Xu Wanying was another Li Chunlan. You know, her sister-in-law's taste was really not good.

Every time Li Chunlan tried to dress up, she looked more tacky. The hair accessories on her head looked like an overturned jewelry box, with her head covered in excessive amounts of gold and jewels.

She doesn't have to be polite when talking to her eldest sister-in-law, but she can't do that to her third sister-in-law.

She went out today just to make Xu Wanying happy. Even if her third sister-in-law was dressed outrageously, she had to flatter her.

Fortunately, Xu Wanying has a good aesthetic sense, so even if it is a bit overtly luxurious, it has no impact at all.

"Are you getting in the car?" Xu Wanying asked.

"No, we still have to wait for someone. My sister-in-law hasn't come yet." Jiang Jinyu shook his head.

The system couldn't help but speak: [Host, I told you that the wealthy families in the Dali Dynasty believe in low-key luxury and don't show off their wealth. That's why Li Chunlan was despised for dressing so hard before. Although you dress more restrained than her, the pearls on the tip of your shoes and the rubies on your hairpins are as big as a child's fist, and people can see them at a glance. In the eyes of these noble ladies, this is the vulgar behavior of nouveau riche. ]

Xu Wanying sneered and said indifferently: [What do you know? Isn't Jiang Jinyu a noble lady? Didn't you hear what she just praised? ]

The system didn't believe it: [Jiang Jinyu was just being polite. Didn't you see that she only said a simple sentence and passed it over lightly. It was because she saw you going out for the first time and she didn't want to embarrass you.]

The third sister-in-law and the magic weapon started arguing about dressing up, and Jiang Jinyu was suddenly a little confused and didn't know who to help.

She coaxed Xu Wanying purely for the energy, just to make the artifact say a few more useful words.

If it weren't for the magical weapon protecting him, Jiang Jinyu would definitely not have rushed to support Xu Wanying.

But now that this person and this group had come into conflict, she was suddenly confused.

Cen seemed to be aware of her difficulty and spoke in time: "Wanying, your gold hairpin is exquisitely crafted and unique. It must be made by a master, right?"

Older gingers are more spicy.

The Cen family knew how to take sides. Although it was for the sake of the artifact, what the artifact could actually reveal depended on Xu Wanying's attitude and emotions. When the two conflicted, the Jiang family must unswervingly choose Xu Wanying.

Only when Xu Wanying is happy will the system have the energy to continue releasing melons, otherwise there will be no discussion.

"Mother is really amazing. This was given to me by my eldest sister-in-law. It was made by Master Mingji. And this Dongzhu was also given by my eldest sister-in-law. She said it would look good nailed on the toe of the shoe. I asked the maids to make it a few days ago. It really looks good and interesting!"

After getting Cen's affirmation, Xu Wanying seemed even happier. As she spoke, she lifted her leg to reveal an embroidered shoe. The round oriental pearl was extremely eye-catching and very shiny, making it difficult to ignore.

Jiang Jinyu felt mixed emotions. She said that the styles of her two sisters-in-law were a bit similar. It turned out that it was the eldest sister-in-law who taught her, but the third sister-in-law liked it very much.

She really wanted to say, don't be led astray by your sister-in-law, you will be laughed at if you dress like this.

But when she thought of the conversation between her third sister-in-law and the artifact just now, she stopped again. After all, her third sister-in-law also really liked this luxurious style.

[Hahahaha, Tongzi, I told you that you are an electronic idiot and don't understand human aesthetics. This outfit of mine must be good-looking. Even my mother-in-law, a marquis, praised it.]

[Besides, do you think those noble ladies don't want to dress like me? They just want to pretend. The love of wearing gold and silver is engraved in the genes of our ancestors, passed down from generation to generation.]

The system immediately retorted: [Host, you are being too narrow-minded. There are many different kinds of people. You humans have different aesthetic tastes. For example, Cen and Jiang Jinyu really like a fresh and simple style. It is impossible for everyone to be like you.]

Xu Wanying chuckled: [System, you finally said something human. The same rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, and everyone has different aesthetics. You can disagree with my aesthetics, but you can't criticize me! Otherwise, don't blame me for scolding you. ]

[Look at Cen and Jiang Jinyu. They have different aesthetics from me, but they will praise me, while you will only make me unhappy. Are you doing this on purpose? If you make me angry, I can't recharge or eat melons. ]

The system immediately explained: [Host, please don't wrongly accuse me. The system's influence on the host's emotions is not included in the energy range.]

Xu Wanying ignored it. The three of them had been standing here for some time. It was windy outside today, and the wind blew straight into her cloak, making her face turn blue with cold.

Cen was also a little unhappy and called a maid: "Go and ask Chunlan to hurry up, we are almost late."

The maid took the order and was about to leave when she saw a round-faced maid running over. It was Yueban, who worked beside Li Chunlan.

"Madam Hou, the Crown Prince's wife sent a servant to say that she will not go today. You, the Third Madam and the eldest daughter should go and play."

Cen raised her eyebrows, obviously unhappy: "Why not? Wasn't she looking forward to it yesterday and asked someone to pick out clothes and jewelry for her?"

"The prince's wife said she was not feeling well." Yueban replied in a low voice, clearly feeling guilty.

"Tell the truth!" Cen raised her voice.

Yueban shook herself and said, "The Crown Prince's wife barely slept last night. She got up in the middle of the night to get dressed and changed into several outfits. But each time she changed, she admired them and then thought they all looked bad. Now she doesn't know what to wear."

"This is useless!" Cen couldn't help but mutter when she heard it.

"You two go to the carriage first. It's too cold outside. I'll go check on her."

After giving these instructions, Cen led the way to Rongchun Pavilion.

But before she had taken a few steps, she heard Xu Wanying's dissatisfied complaint: [No way, no way, you're not taking me with you! Why is it so difficult to watch the fun! ]

Mrs. Cen couldn't help but smile bitterly. What kind of excitement was this? The third daughter-in-law really was the type who wanted the world to be in turmoil.

She stopped and raised her hand to call the two of them: "Come on, let's go see Chunlan together."

【Hey, there's something exciting to watch! 】

Xu Wanying was very satisfied in her heart, but she showed a hesitant expression on her face: "Mom, my sister-in-law is probably in a depressed state right now. You are the elder and you can go and give her some advice. It would not be a good idea for me and my younger sister to go, lest my sister-in-law feel embarrassed."
