C25 The First Light of the Charming Woman Feast Prime Minister

The day of Daughter's Day has finally come.

Early in the morning, Jiegeng was pulled out of bed by Xia early in the morning. Xia kept changing Jiegeng's clothes, combing her hair and drawing her face but Jiegeng could not even open her eyes.

"Xia, isn't this an excellent female banquet at noon? Why did she come to disturb people's dreams before dawn?" Jiegeng finally opened her eyes with great difficulty and looked at Xia with a pitiful expression.

" Miss Biao, although this banquet only starts at noon, this is a banquet that all the noble ladies in the city are waiting for. I think only Miss Biao would look so unconcerned."

Jiegeng was originally looking forward to it, but ever since she heard Shihan say that Duan Shuang does not appear at the female banquet every year. She immediately lost interest. Not only did she not have any talent that was worth showing, but she also had a face that could be considered the best in the City L in the capital. It was only because of her good looks. Besides, he had just arrived at the ___ and had yet to open his body. Going to that excellent female banquet in such a manner was merely a foil.

"Can I not go?" Jiegeng was in a low mood.

"Miss Biao, every year, only Zhen'an King would dare to not go to the female banquet. Even the princesses do not dare to lose Eldest Imperial Princess's face." Xia was a smart person. She knew what kind of Mistress she would serve and what kind of attitude she would have. These few days, she had already understood Jiegeng's temperament and was naturally much more relaxed than when she was with the Princess.

"Furthermore, Wang Fei exhorted me to properly dress up as Miss Biao."

Jiegeng sighed and continued to close her eyes to allow Xia to play around.

In the second half of the time (9: 00 ~ 11: 00), Jiegeng finally finished the grandest dress she had ever worn.

It was different from the plain dress that she was used to. Instead, she changed into a light blue silk brocade and used a bright white gauze to lightly adhere to it, appearing lively and natural.

On the hair ornament, Xia only tied up a simple bun. The black hair behind Jiegeng still floated down. Not only did it not cover up Jiegeng's original cute nature, it also did not cover up Jiegeng's appearance. Instead, it drew out a little bit of a covenant. Her hair bun was also adorned with a silver hairpin that was mainly made of tassels. There were also light colored crystals attached to it, which reduced the thickness of the jadeite jade.

Xia emphasized on her facial makeup to highlight Jiegeng's eyes. Jiegeng's eyes were born very well, and her large eyes blinked. It was enough to catch the eyes of others in an instant. Coupled with her hair and clothes, coupled with her peach blossom eye makeup, it made Jiegeng's brows look even more emotional.

When Rani Yi saw Jiegeng walk into the main hall, she was delighted in her heart. "Being born so well, why don't you know how to dress properly normally?"

When Jiegeng was looking in the mirror, she was indeed shocked by Xia's superb skills. But when she thought that this appearance was exchanged for so much sleep time, she immediately did not have the willpower to dress up like this every day.

Why did Duan Shuang not go to the female banquet? It was not easy to make it beautiful, but the person she hoped to see the most would not be able to see it. What was the use? Jiegeng tightly gripped the purple jade pendant in her hand, and could only feel regret in her heart.

"Where is Ms Shihan?" Jiegeng looked around but did not see Shihan's figure. Not only now, Duan Shihan often could not find anyone these few days.

"Don't worry about her. It is almost time for her to appear at Eldest Imperial Princess Manor." Previously when Jiegeng did not come to the Imperial Residence, Rani Yi had not let go of Shihan. Now that there was someone who had endured her suffering, Duan Shihan could not go out and play for a few days.

"Alright, let's go out." Rani Yi pulled Jiegeng towards the carriage outside the door.

When Jiegeng arrived at Eldest Imperial Princess Manor, she realized that the feast that Xia had mentioned in the morning was a grand occasion. The people gathered in this residence were not only the young ladies of the various residences. All of them were dressed up to attend the banquet. In the morning, Jiegeng was still worried that she would be too flashy wearing such clothes. But now, in comparison... Only then did she know that it was just a small matter. It seemed that her aunt and Xia had considered her ability to accept things.

"Jiegeng, you can stroll around this garden. I won't disturb the interests of young people like you." Rani Yi patted Jiegeng's hand and smiled as she went to the main courtyard.

Jiegeng, who was left alone in the garden by Rani Yi, was also bored to death. She did not know many people here and the only person she might know was someone who had a grudge with her. What kind of interest would she have if she was alone here?

Jiegeng avoided the crowded place and walked to a pavilion alone. The scenery here was a bit worse than the middle of the garden and there were no decorative flowers nearby. Looking around, there was only a patch of green. It was not monotonous at all. No wonder there were no people here.

Jiegeng sat in the middle of the pavilion. Fortunately, there were still fruits and desserts for guests on the stone table. Just the appearance of these desserts was extremely attractive. Jiegeng picked up a piece of the desserts and carefully savored it.

After taking a bite, Jiegeng's eyes immediately lit up. She immediately put down one of the desserts in her hand and immediately picked up another piece of pastry to taste.

Every dessert was actually medicinal cuisine.

Jiegeng's nose and taste were naturally more sensitive than ordinary people. In addition, she had come into contact with medicinal herbs since she was young, so what was stored inside would naturally be known after a taste.

However, these medicines seemed to be targeted at the same type of illness. Could it be? Jiegeng could not help but think about it carefully. At the same time, she did not forget to put the pastry in her mouth.

"This miss must be especially fond of dessert, right?" Jiegeng who was deep in thought did not realize that a man was also approaching the pavilion.

Jiegeng saw his smiling face welcoming and did not seem to have any ill intentions, so she continued to use a doubtful gaze to put the last piece of pastry into her mouth.

"I was rude." This man cupped his hands to express his apology.

"You are?" Jiegeng clapped her hands and also stood up.

That man was clearly somewhat surprised that the other party actually did not recognize him.

"I am Rani Yi's niece. I just entered the capital recently. I am not familiar with the people here, so naturally I do not know Young Master." Jiegeng knew the reason why he was stunned just now, so she introduced herself.

"So it is Miss Bai. I am Hsiang Xuanfei." This person could tell from his words and actions that he was a gentle person.

Jiegeng was shocked. It turned out that everyone knew her identity in the capital. Initially, she remembered her cousin Bai Lan's concerns and did not want to talk about her family too much, but now it was impossible.

"I have also heard about the matter of Miss Bai saving that sick child on the street that day. To have such ability and boldness at such a young age, I admire you." Hsiang Xuanfei's words were sincere and did not appear to be a polite action.

"Young master is being too serious. I am merely fulfilling the duty of a doctor." Jiegeng was not overly complacent. She knew that her medical skills were still far from being as famous as the Bai family.

"The scenery in the garden is pleasant and lively. Why is Miss Bai sitting here alone? Could it be that she is really attracted by this snack?" Hsiang Xuanfei teased.

"That's not it. It's just that I'm new here and have no relationship with anyone. They gathered together in groups of two or three, and I'm too lazy to deal with them myself. Why did young master come here alone? " Jiegeng asked back.

"I just wanted to find a quiet place." Hsiang Xuanfei smiled helplessly. "Since Miss and I have met for different reasons in this pavilion, don't let down this beautiful and delicious food."

"There is delicious food in front of us, but where did this beautiful scenery come from?" He shouldn't think that this unorganized underbrush and the pavilion that stood alone in it were beautiful scenery, right?

"Isn't this a beautiful scene in front of us?" Hsiang Xuanfei waved his hand at Jiegeng.

Jiegeng followed Hsiang Xuanfei's gaze and looked back. She did not see the so-called beautiful scenery.

"Miss Bai is precisely this beauty." Seeing Jiegeng's increasingly puzzled look, Hsiang Xuanfei could only poke at it.

"Young Master Chao really loves to joke." Hsiang Xuanfei's words didn't leave the slightest trace of playfulness. Perhaps it was because of his natural temperament of Confucianism, or perhaps it was because of his gentle voice.

"Young master, young miss. The lunch is about to begin. Please follow this servant to the side hall." A maidservant came over and interrupted Hsiang Xuanfei and Jiegeng's conversation.

Thus, the two of them ended their conversation and followed the servant girl to the side hall.

The Feast of Excellent Ladies was divided into three parts, before and after the Feast and the Tea Party. After the banquet, the tea party would be the highlight of today's banquet. In this tea party, the beautiful scholars would display their talent and grace to obtain a good reputation.

Although the banquet was set in a side hall, the side hall of Eldest Imperial Princess Prefecture was several times bigger than the banquet hall of ordinary officials. Due to the majority of unmarried men and women, in the middle of the side hall, a jade screen was used to distinguish the male and female guests.

At the afternoon banquet, Jiegeng finally saw Shihan.

The moment Shihan walked in, all the noble ladies greeted her, "Greetings, Princess."

Shihan nodded her head and walked straight in Jiegeng's direction.

"My good little sister, you have made it easy for me to find her!" Shihan pulled Jiegeng's hand and her face was full of smiles.

Jiegeng was very surprised. What was wrong with Ms Shihan? Why was she speaking in such a tone?

Shihan lowered her head and whispered near Jiegeng's ear, "This was what mother told me."

Jiegeng felt relieved.

The surrounding noble ladies immediately realized that this was the King Yi's Mansion's Miss Biao.

Suddenly, a wave of noise came from afar.

"Do you know? Zhen'an King actually came!" A young lady near the door started to talk to her companions excitedly.

"Really? Didn't Zhen'an King never come to such an occasion?" The other noble ladies also found it unbelievable.

" But, who dares to go up and talk to me? I heard that last time the Empress held a banquet, didn't that Li Lan get a taste of his own medicine?"

"It's not just Zhen'an King. This year, the Lord who was renamed as the Right Prime Minister by the Emperor has also come." A noble daughter who was fond of the newly promoted Right Prime Minister was embarrassed.

"Then we will have to perform well in the tea gathering later."

Although those people had said a lot, Jiegeng could only hear the words "Zhen'an King" in her ears.

Shihan gently used her shoulder to pretend to be Jiegeng and teased. "Don't be stunned. There are a lot of wolves here. There is only one piece of meat. In such a silly place, don't cry when someone takes it away."

Shihan's words became more and more unrestrained and Jiegeng looked at Shihan angrily. "Older sister, if you continue to be like this, don't expect me to tell you anything else."

"Don't, don't, don't. Big sister is wrong, okay? I originally thought that I had a little bunny sister, but I didn't expect that she would be a little tiger." Shihan teased.

Following Eldest Imperial Princess's words from the main seat, the lunch of the Excellent Female Feast officially began.
