Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1343

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1338: So Fast

She guessed that today her grandmother dressed her up like this to let others view her, so she had to start planning early, otherwise, she feared she might get married off in a muddle-headed way.

From a distance, Madam Dong saw Huang Arong with her chin raised, looking proud and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle lightly, liking this girl with a chivalrous heart even more.

"Mother, what interesting thing did you see?" Mrs. Dong, shaking the ivory fan in her hand, leaned closer to her mother and asked in a low voice.

Madam Dong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, pointing out Huang Arong to Mrs. Dong.

Huang Arong’s grandmother naturally noticed Madam Dong’s actions and looked in the same direction, her face turning pale instantly. Seeing Huang Arong being carefree and doing horse stances alongside the third miss of the Zhen family...

How did these two scatterbrains end up together? Huang Arong’s grandmother almost felt faint with anger, struggling to catch her breath.

Soon, Madam Dong called Huang Arong over and asked her a few questions. Thinking this little girl was genuinely pure and cute, she slipped the bracelet from her wrist onto Huang Arong’s: "Look, this bracelet worn on the wrist of a young girl is truly a perfect match!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Huang Arong didn’t quite understand Madam Dong’s intentions, thinking it was to thank her grandmother for diagnosing a pulse previously. After declining a few times and seeing Madam Dong insist, she accepted it with a smile.

Watching Huang Arong leave after paying her respects, Mrs. Dong remarked with a smile to her own mother, "A sincere child!"

After enjoying the flowers, Mrs. Li had cold plum juice and various flower-made pastries served to the court officials and the ladies and girls of each family. Once the pastries were cleared, they prepared to enter the luncheon, and everyone was invited back to the Pinxiang Palace.

In May, Dadu City was already getting warm. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang thoughtfully placed half-height auspicious beast tripods with three legs and two ears filled with ice next to each adjacent table, so when seated behind these, people didn’t feel hot at all.

Xiao Rongyan, dressed in a sky-blue robe and a wide jade belt, sat lazily reclining against the low table at a position below Bai Qingyan this time, which made several noble ladies gossip softly behind their hand fans.

Before long, a eunuch announced Bai Qingyan’s arrival...

Everyone in the hall hurriedly rose to kneel in greeting, and Xiao Rongyan also stood up with the envoys from the Yan Kingdom.

Bai Qingyan had already changed out of the intricate court attire she wore for morning court, now wearing a sky-blue casual long dress. The complexly crafted guanbu on her white jade belt further accentuated Bai Qingyan’s tall and graceful figure.

On her head was a white jade crane hairpin, with her graceful wrist faintly showcasing an emperor green jade bracelet with hints of red. Although the bracelet didn’t quite match Bai Qingyan’s outfit today, it was subtle enough to go unnoticed if one wasn’t paying close attention.

The ministers noticed their monarch was dressed in a sky-blue long dress and glanced at Xiao Rongyan above the dais, noticing he wore the same color. They calculated that if the Ninth Prince of Yan knew what was appropriate, he should find an excuse to change his outfit.

But under Xiao Rongyan’s mask, the corners of his lips faintly curved upwards. Whether it was the crane hairpin on Bai Qingyan’s head, the bracelet on her wrist that required closer inspection, or her outfit matching his sky-blue attire, it all made him feel as if he’d just tasted honey, putting him in a very good mood.

Bai Qingyan, her brows and eyes lightly smiling, seated herself at the head position, commanding everyone to rise, trying her best not to let her gaze wander toward Xiao Rongyan’s direction.
