As soon as the 29th hour of the twelfth lunar month arrived, Ling Shuang and a group of maids were waiting outside Shen Zi's room.
"Miss, would you like a servant to come in and serve you?"
Not long after, a cold voice came, "Come in!"
Today is a family banquet in the palace, so naturally I have to get up early to enter the palace. This is also the first time Shen Zi has entered the palace since her rebirth. Think about it, what is supposed to come will always come.
Ling Shuang looked at the person in the mirror and asked, "Miss, what do you want to wear today? What are your requirements for makeup and hair?"
Shen Zi thought about it for a moment, "Don't be too ostentatious when wearing it, and don't be too plain either. Just make your hair and makeup more dignified."
Shen Zi asked not to be ostentatious because she didn't want to make a move yet, and she didn't want to be clean. It was because today was a family banquet in the palace, and naturally it was not good to be too "sober". However, some people just did the opposite.
Ling Shuang changed Shen Zi into a purple dark flower flowing cloud dress, with a light blue cloak on the outside. Her hair was combed into a bun, which is the most popular style among young ladies from aristocratic families, and she had an exquisite jasper hairpin on her head. .
In response to Shen Zi's request, she also demonstrated the dignified etiquette of a young lady from an aristocratic family.
As she walked, the hairpin on her head swayed, revealing the girl's agility and playfulness in a trance.
After finishing dressing up, Shen Zi got on the carriage heading to the palace. Father Shen and Mother Shen had already set off early.
It was snowing heavily in the palace. Shen Zi held up a green umbrella and followed the palace attendants to the Fanghua Palace.
Who would have thought that she would enter the palace again.
Shen Zi raised her eyes and saw the white snow falling on the branches of plum blossoms, which was poetic and picturesque. She had never seen such a beautiful scenery carefully in her previous life.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a figure in front of him slowly walking towards Shen Zi.
I saw the man wearing a long white brocade dress with dark flowers and a white cloak. The cloak was also trimmed with a circle of white snow fox fur, which made his skin look like cream, light and elegant.
I have to say that with this snowy sky, it is indeed different from other ladies.
She was holding a red plum blossom umbrella. When she saw Shen Zi, she moved the umbrella away, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She said with a bit of ridicule in her tone, "It turns out to be Miss Shen. I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't come." It’s okay!”
Shen Zi clenched her fists in her sleeves, her nails digging deeply into her flesh. Only the sharp pain could keep her rational at this moment.
This person was none other than the person who had harmed her the most - Lu Li.
The person who sent her into the abyss because of Gu Jinghuan.
Shen Zi thought of her last life, but her face did not change. She only said in a cold voice, "Maybe it has been a long time since I came to the palace. I wonder when Miss Lu entered the palace and became a maid? In this case, according to the rules of the palace, Miss Lu, please lead the way!"
"lead the way?"
When Lu Li heard this, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes. She half-covered her lips with her beautiful hand, smiling wildly, as if she had heard a big joke.
"Shen Zi! Shen Zi! Are you afraid that the last time you were grounded has damaged your brain? We haven't seen you for several months, and you still haven't made any progress at all."
"Still, as conceited as ever."
"Don't you really think that you are still the same Shen Zi who was praised by all the stars?"
"You will only make Mr. Gu Xiaohou feel disgusted now. Do you think he will still care about you if you don't have that marriage?"
"You are just relying on the Shen family! This ignorant woman really thinks that she is a phoenix. Little does she know that she is not even as good as an ant, and she still acts like she is superior. It's really disgusting."
Lu Li hated Shen Zi very much in his heart, for no other reason than because Shen Zi was Gu Jinghuan's unmarried wife.
Which woman would like her love rival?
In addition, why should Shen Zi? Just because her family background is good? Her father is in a first-class position? How can such a pedantic woman deserve to be her competitor?
But unfortunately, after traveling to such a dynasty, her father was not as good as Shen Zi's father, and she was still a concubine. Shen Zi also had a face that she hated, so she had to be jealous. Why? Why? ,she looks so beautiful?
As Lu Li spoke, he approached Shen Zi step by step.
She stretched out her jade hand, pinched Shen Zi's chin, and stared at her with a pair of eyes, as if seeing another woman through them, with deep hatred.
"I have to say, you are really born with a good skin."
"It's a pity that instead of being likeable, it's annoying."
"If you beg for mercy now and break off your engagement with Gu Jinghuan, I can consider that we are both women and let you go and let the Shen family go."
Lu Li smiled brightly, with a proud look on his eyes and brows, as if he was waiting for Shen Zi to beg for mercy, kneel down to him, kowtow and admit his mistake.
"cut!"
At this time, Shen Zi spoke coldly.
"What are you cutting?"
"Snapped!!!"
Before Lu Li could finish saying "What are you cutting?", a loud slap fell on her face.
The sound was so loud that it echoed endlessly, and even the palace attendants who were leading the way behind Shen Zi were so frightened that they broke into cold sweats.
Lu Li's face went numb, and he came back to his senses after a moment of shock.
"Shen Zi, you are looking for death!"
The screaming sound caused snowflakes all around him to scatter everywhere.
Lu Li raised his backhand and was about to fight back.
But Shen Zi seemed to know that she had a trick up her sleeve. She had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Lu Li's wrist. She stared fiercely into her eyes, her voice was calm and indifferent, and she suppressed Lu Li with her own arrogance.
She said, "This slap is for His Majesty. There is no sorrow in the palace. However, as the daughter of an official, you are dressed in plain clothes and show off in the palace. Are you expressing something? Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty?" ?
Now, any slap I give you will be light. If your Majesty really sees you, I'm afraid Mr. Lu and even the Lu family will be implicated in this."
Lu Li was startled when he heard this.
"How can it be that serious? Don't fool me here. Don't think I don't understand the rules of the palace."
It was indeed not that serious, but Lu Li didn't know that His Majesty disliked people wearing white clothes the most. This was still a secret matter in the palace, and she had heard Yong Ning mention it by chance.
Besides, with Lu Li's current status, he might not even be able to enter the main banquet hall. Because of the rules in the palace, all officials below the third rank should attend the New Year's Eve family banquet in the outer hall. Although they are having fun with the people, the rules are still rules.
How could she, a person who came from time travel, know this?
Lu Li didn't believe it at first, but when Shen Zi said it so solemnly, the look of determination in her eyes left no room for doubt.
Even Lu Li had doubts for a long time.
But the next moment.
"Snapped!"
A slap fell on the other half of Lu Li's face, with a harder force than before and a clearer sound.
"Shen Zi."
Lu Li finally realized that she had fallen for Shen Zi. If there was something wrong with her outfit, her father would ask her to change into another outfit when she left the house, instead of waiting for Shen Zi to face her here. Make irresponsible remarks.
