The Zhou family also received the news, and everyone got busy. Zhou Lang rode his horse and ran to the warehouse where the goods were stored, rummaged through the boxes, found a big bundle, hugged it, and ran home.
He shook out his cloak and showed it to Zhou Man. Seeing the surprise in her eyes, he smiled and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Zhou Man reached out and touched it and asked, "Is this a peacock feather?"
"Yes, you are wearing a red dress underneath, and it looks best with these blue peacock feathers."
Zhou Man hesitated, "Isn't it too high-profile?"
Zhou Lang waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "It's just this once, can you still be promoted to a princess in the future? What's wrong with being high-profile once? This is only once in your life."
Zhou Man thought about it and accepted it, "Fourth brother, is this peacock feather cloak expensive? Why are you willing to buy this for me?"
It was extremely valuable, a total of eight hundred taels, which was equivalent to a yard. Zhou Lang snatched it back and planned to sell it, but now he gave it to Zhou Man. He would have to make up for the money later.
But when he saw her wearing it, it was as dazzling as a peacock in full bloom, and Zhou Lang felt it was worth it again.
Wuyue and Jiulan brought the clothes and served Zhou Man to put them on. It was a red Ruyi moire skirt. The moire patterns were woven with gold threads. When the sun shined, the golden light shone, making it very dazzling.
Zhou Man rubbed his arms and said, "It's really cold."
Yuyue hurriedly put the peacock cloak on her. Zheng stood aside and looked at it, shaking her head slightly. "The bun is not suitable. Yuyue, give her a new one. I remember she has several sets of ruby jewelry. I found them all and gave them to her."
She picks and chooses.”
She looked at Zhou Man and then shook her head, "I vaguely remember that she also has a set of ruby forehead ornaments inlaid with gold. That one is very suitable. Find it quickly."
Zhou Man was startled and immediately said: "I know where it is, they don't!"
Those good things were all stored in Keke's space. When she got them, Wuyue and the others had not followed her, so she kept all her good things by herself.
Zhou Man turned around and went to his small study. After a while, he came out with a large makeup box. He couldn't help but wave his hands when he put it down.
Wuyue stepped forward and opened the small drawer. When she saw the jewelry inside, she couldn't help but say "Wow" and was amazed.
Zhou Man smiled and said: "They were all given by the Queen and the Crown Princess a few years ago, and they were also beaten with gemstones that I bought myself when I went to the Western Regions."
Oh, and there are also good things you can get from raiding the bandit's den.
Mrs. Zheng stepped forward to carefully select and match Zhou Man with a set of jewelry.
Then he stared at May and dressed her up, putting on her hair accessories bit by bit.
Zhou Man stared blankly at the person in the bronze mirror, stretched out his hand and touched his face, "Oh my God, I am so beautiful."
Wuyue Jiulan, who was stunned, came back to her senses instantly, suppressing a smile and said: "Yes, the lady is the most beautiful."
Mrs. Zheng was also stunned, and pushed Zhou Man down on the chair as he was about to get up, with annoyance on his face, "I should have dressed you up more before." How much time she had missed.
Mrs. Zheng stared at Zhou Man in the mirror, turned around and ordered: "Go get the flowers and I'll stick them on her."
Zhou Man said hurriedly: "I wore a forehead ornament."
Mrs. Zheng stared at the corners of her eyes and said, "It would also look good if you put it on both sides of the eyes."
Zhou Man: "...Mother, I came to the palace to express my gratitude. What does it look like to put flower stickers on the corners of my eyes?"
Although she didn't care much about it herself, she felt that she should still be more dignified in front of the emperor and her colleagues.
Only then did Zheng give up.
Zhou Man stood up and turned around in front of Zheng, "Mother, am I ready?"
"That's it. You're pregnant and it's not easy to wear the sachet. It's not easy to wear the sachet. Go ahead."
As soon as Zhou Man went out, Zhou Lang who was playing with Bai Jingxing outside the door was stunned. Bai Jingxing's child turned to look, immediately abandoned his fourth uncle, ran to her, raised his little head and looked at her, "Mom, you are really
nice."
Zhou Man smiled at her, touched her little face and said, "Wait, mother will help you earn a fortune."
Zhou Man happily entered the palace to express his gratitude.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Zhou Man helped Xi Cake's hand get out of the car and hugged the heater that Jiulan handed over. "You guys wait here, I should be out soon."
The two agreed, and together with Daji, they drove the carriage aside and waited.
Zhou Man raised her head and looked at the entrance of the palace, stepped forward, and held out the sign to show the imperial guards.
When no one answered for a long time, she couldn't help but look up and saw the guards looking at her blankly.
Zhou Man looked back silently and said faintly: "If Master Yin knew that you guarding the palace gate could be so stunned..."
The Imperial Guards came to their senses in an instant. They gave Zhou Man a hard shake before taking the sign. They glanced at it and handed it back to her, "Zhou, Mr. Zhou, it's not our fault. You, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"
, it looks terrible."
The other guards nodded repeatedly, it was terrible.
They would never admit that they were stunned. They were guarding the palace gate, and many of them were nobles. What beauties had not been seen before?
There must be too much contrast between Zhou Man before and after, so they were stunned.
Zhou Man stuffed the sign into his sleeve and snorted at them, thinking they wouldn't appreciate it.
Zhou Man subconsciously walked up the long steps in front of the Tai Chi Palace. Halfway through, he remembered that he should have gone to the back to thank him. The emperor was discussing politics at the moment, right?
But halfway up the stairs, it was too tiring to turn around and go down another path. Zhou Man simply pretended that he didn't think about it, picked up his skirt and continued going up.
The courtiers who had just left the Tai Chi Hall saw her walking towards her with the sun on her back. Her red clothes were like the rising sun, the golden light flashed as she walked, and her fair and solemn face made them feel as if they did not dare to offend her.
Several people waited blankly for her to approach, and then they were sure that this was indeed Zhou Man, who was finally wearing official robes to discuss matters with them.
Several adults could not help but turn their heads slightly, or lower their heads to salute, "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Man returned the greeting with a smile, "Several adults are polite. Is this the end of the discussion?"
One of them nodded and reminded: "Cui Shangshu and Liu Shangshu, Duke Zhao are still inside."
Zhou Man nodded and went directly to the chamberlain to report, "I'm here to thank you. I'll report to you after the adults in the palace have left."
Even though he said this, the chamberlain still ran off to find Gu Zhong.
The emperor glanced at the servant who entered the palace and saw a strange look on his face. He glanced at Gu Zhong and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhong waved his hand to the chamberlain to stand aside, then he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou has entered the palace to express his gratitude."
"Thank you, thank you. This is not the first time. Do you need to be in such a hurry?"
Gu Zhong paused and then whispered: "The chamberlain said that Mr. Zhou is here as His Royal Highness the Princess."
"She accepted the status of the princess, and naturally came as the princess." The emperor was puzzled, "What's the problem with this?"
"Your Majesty, will you invite people to come in and take a look?"
