Chapter 238 Enemies meet on a narrow road!
Lu Nianyao smiled back, but thought to herself: Qi Zhier is the kind of person who never comes to visit unless there is something important.
She must have a purpose for coming here today.
So she asked, "Zhi'er, what is the important matter that brought you here today?"
Qi Zhier smiled and walked forward to hold Lu Nianyao's hand: "Can't I come to you if I'm fine?"
Seeing Lu Nian Yao looking at her with a smile, Qi Zhier no longer kept it a secret.
"In two days, it's not the Imperial Concubine's birthday, I want you to go with me!"
"Don't rush to refuse. I heard that the imperial concubine also sent an invitation to your concubine's sister... If she goes, don't you want to go too?"
Qi Zhier accurately grasped Lu Nianyao's psychology.
Sure enough, Lu Nianyao, who was originally not interested in this matter, suddenly became interested.
She would not let go of anything that could put Lu Zhiran under her feet.
"Of course." She said to Qi Zhier with a smile.
"I will definitely go with you then, after all, you are my best friend." The two reached an agreement.
……
Time soon came to the imperial concubine's birthday.
For attending this gathering.
Lu Zhiran was still quite interested.
Therefore, Lu Zhiran woke up before the first ray of morning light in the sky completely dispelled the gloom of the night.
Zixiang is Lu Zhiran's most trusted confidant, who can always accurately grasp her thoughts. She also got up early in the morning and walked into the room with toiletries in her hands.
Lu Zhiran stood in front of the bronze mirror, her elegant face reflected in the mirror.
After returning from the border, Lu Zhiran has been recuperating carefully.
Now her skin is as white as jade, her eyebrows are like new moons, her eyes are like autumn water, and her lips are red without any makeup. Today, she is dressed up carefully. Her black hair is meticulously combed by Zixiang and tied into an exquisite bun, which is dotted with a few freshly picked jasmine flowers, emitting a faint fragrance.
Xiaoying was busy on the side, she was responsible for preparing incense.
She selected a precious agarwood and after lighting it, the whole room was filled with a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.
Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and felt particularly relaxed.
"Miss, today is the day you will enter the palace to attend the imperial concubine's birthday. You must dress up nicely." Zixiang said softly while tidying up Lu Zhiran's hair.
Lu Zhiran smiled slightly and said, "Zixiang, you are always so considerate. However, the protagonist today is the Imperial Concubine, so we don't need to be too ostentatious."
Zixiang nodded and said, "Miss, you are right. However, even if you don't dress up, you are still the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Zixiang would say these nice words to coax her.
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran couldn't help feeling a little shy.
She shook her head gently and said, "Zixiang, please don't talk nonsense. There are many women in the capital who are more beautiful than me."
Zixiang smiled and said nothing more.
Anyway, no matter how other girls look, in her heart, Lu Zhiran is definitely the most beautiful.
Just then, Xiaoying came over and handed an exquisite sachet to Lu Zhiran.
She said, "Madam, this is the sachet you asked me to prepare. It contains your favorite jasmine scent."
Lu Zhiran took the sachet, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and immediately felt refreshed.
She smiled and said to Xiaoying: "Thank you, Xiaoying. You are always so thoughtful."
Xiaoying smiled shyly and said, "As long as the lady likes it."
After everything was ready, Lu Zhiran changed into a lavender dress.
This long dress is made of fine silk and embroidered with exquisite patterns. It is elegant and noble. When she puts on this long dress, her whole person seems to glow with a different kind of brilliance.
Zixiang and Xiaoying couldn't help but exclaimed: "Miss, you are so beautiful!"
Lu Zhiran smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."
This time it was the same, Zixiang went out with Lu Zhiran.
A group of people came to the door.
There was only the coachman in front of the carriage.
Lu Zhiran frowned and asked, "Where is the Marquis?"
"The Marquis has gone to look for Young Master Li, and asked me to wait for Madam here. Take Madam there first, and he will be here soon."
Hearing this, Lu Zhiran felt inexplicably unhappy.
However, I thought that I had no right to stop him, and it was normal for Fu Yuzhang to go find his friends first.
So, Lu Zhiran and his party took a carriage to the palace.
The carriage slowly drove into the gate of the palace, and Lu Zhiran's heart couldn't help but become nervous.
She knew that every moment that followed would be filled with challenges and opportunities.
But she believed that as long as she remained calm and confident, she would be able to handle everything.
After the carriage stopped in the courtyard of the imperial palace, Lu Zhiran got off the carriage accompanied by Zixiang.
She looked up at the towering palace and couldn't help feeling awe in her heart.
She took a deep breath and walked towards the palace with firm steps.
Along the way, she met many officials and noble ladies who came to attend the banquet, and they all cast curious and scrutinizing glances at her.
Lu Zhiran smiled and returned the greetings one by one, dealing with all the complicated looks neither humble nor arrogant.
As you enter the palace, the magnificent scene comes into view.
The glazed tile roof sparkled brightly in the sun, and the carved beams and painted buildings revealed endless magnificence and solemnity. Lu Zhiran looked around and couldn't help but sigh at the majesty and luxury of the palace.
Led by the palace maid, Lu Zhiran came to the banquet hall.
Many guests had gathered in the hall, some were talking in low voices, some were drinking from their glasses, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Lu Zhiran moved among the crowd, nodding to people from time to time. Her elegance and composure attracted everyone's attention.
Just then, a melodious music sounded, and everyone looked in the direction where the music came from.
I saw a group of palace maids wearing gorgeous clothes, holding various musical instruments, playing beautiful music. The music was melodious and intoxicating.
Lu Zhiran was also attracted by the beautiful music. She stopped and listened quietly.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up and saw a lady walking towards her with a smile.
This noble lady was Li Yanran. She was also wearing gorgeous clothes today, and you could tell at a glance that they were specially prepared.
She walked up to Lu Zhiran and said, "Mrs. Fu, we meet again."
The two of them parted on bad terms last time.
But they were just verbal disputes.
It's nothing.
Lu Zhiran returned the greeting slowly and said, "Yes, Madam Zhang, I didn't expect you to come too."
