The Princess Consort of Jingkang, in order to provide her daughter with a grand debutante ceremony, invited quite a number of people to witness it. The roads leading to the Prince’s Mansion were so crowded with carriages and horses that it was necessary to deploy the Five Cities Soldiers and Horseman Division to maintain order.
This action will undoubtedly be t with disdain and impeachnt by the Imperial Censor, who cannot tolerate any injustice. However, the Commandery Prince’s ritorious service for Nanyue is not sothing that a couple of Imperial Censors can easily erase with a few words.
Moreover, it was simply out of affection for his daughter that he invited so many people to witness the ceremony, and he didn’t use a single piece of the state’s Silver, all covered by his own funds. Why can’t it be grand?
Therefore, this bustling scene is considered grand and spectacular by everyone, and many of the noble won who are less fortunate could only look on with envy.
The Wu Family sisters were the sa, continuously lifting the curtain to look outside, their eyes full of envy. If their own debutante ceremony were as lively and grand, how awe-inspiring it would be.
To receive guests, the Prince’s Mansion opened several Corner Gates, and well-dressed servants took invitation cards to welco the guests.
Inside the Prince’s Mansion, Changping, as the main character, urged her maid Qing Xin once again: "Go personally to see if Wufu has arrived? Receive her personally."
Beside her sat Guan Chuying, sipping from a cup of tea. She was Changping’s Praise Giver, and to avoid the crowd of guests today, she ca last night, along with Zhang Miaoer who was acting as the Official.
Upon hearing Changping’s words, Guan Chuying laughed and said, "Look how anxious you are. Since she agreed to co, she will make it on ti."
Changping pursed her lips and said, "You know she’s a busy person. Since she beca a disciple, have you seen her? I surely haven’t. It’s most suitable to describe her as a boundless dragon! Before she had promised ..." She glanced at Zhang Miaoer hesitantly and said dejectedly, "She postponed again."
Understanding her aning, Guan Chuying replied, "There’s nothing we can do, and besides, she is not like us, spending all day in the attic embroidering and playing the zither!"
That’s true.
Zhang Miaoer, however, was puzzled and curiously asked, "Are you talking about Miss Wufu apprenticing? Who did she beco a disciple of?"
Guan Chuying and Changping exchanged a glance, hesitating a little because Wufu is a low-key person who doesn’t want too many people to know whom she beca a disciple of.
Seeing this, Zhang Miaoer pursed her lips and said, "What, you can’t even tell ? So mysterious, what’s so secretive about it?"
Changping’s face turned sour.
"It’s not sothing scandalous; it’s just that she doesn’t want to be flamboyant," Guan Chuying said. "If we tell you, just don’t spread it around."
"Tell already." Zhang Miaoer blinked.
Guan Chuying then revealed Wufu’s ntor.
"Wow, is it really her? Recently, the circle has been buzzing, wondering who Old Mr. ng accepted as his Close Door Disciple. Everyone was very curious, and it turns out to be her?" Zhang Miaoer was amazed.
Changping said, "Indeed, it’s her. Don’t tell others; she doesn’t wish to be flamboyant, and it’s not good if we talk about it recklessly outside!"
"What’s the big deal? Being Old Mr. ng’s disciple is so prestigious. I don’t understand why she’s hiding it. Others would wish it to be known everywhere. It’s not sothing scandalous!" Zhang Miaoer said, noticing the two glaring at her, quickly added, "Alright, alright, I won’t say anything. Honestly!"
Guan Chuying remarked, "Everyone has their own thoughts, and if she dislikes being flamboyant, it’s not wrong. As friends, not causing trouble is best!"
"If you talk carelessly and create problems for her, then I won’t be friends with you anymore!" Changping threatened.
Zhang Miaoer twitched her lips, frustrated by knowing.
