Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang were almost in a daze. Even they, who had served Shen Miao since they were young, sometimes felt like they couldn’t recgonize Shen Miao.
“Miss, you seem to like to wear lotus green clothes,” Bai Lu said. “Although you look good in them, don’t young ladies usually like bright colors like pink and blue?”
The color of the lotus was noble and solemn, but the young ladies of the noble families rarely wore such a color. Firstly, it was easy to look old-fashioned, and secondly, it was very difficult to look right in that color. If one wasn’t careful, one would look much older than their actual ages.
However, even though Shen Miao had a tender face, in that clothes, she exuded the aura of a nobal lady in the palace. The maids didn’t know why.
Although Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang lowered their voices, Shen Miao still heard them. She smiled. The reason why she liked to wear lotus green was probably because this color could always remind her that she had to remain calm, thoughtful, and never merciful.
When she was in the palace in her previous life, she would wear the empress’s court dress every day. The golden color could deter the concubines in the palace who were up to no good.
When she married Fu Xiuyi when she was young, she experienced many things that others couldn’t at her age. It was precisely because of this that her naive and almost stupid personality finally became as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Later, she fought with Consort Mei for favor in the harem. In order to protect Fu Sheng and Wanyu, she held tight to that bright yellow imperial court dress, but in the end, nothing was left.
One day, she would snatch over the power from the Ming Qi Royal Family and trample those bandits under her feet.
“Miss, something’s wrong!” Just as she was deep in thought, Jingzhe rushed back from outside and said, “Miss, Mo Qing received news from Chun Tao that the Wei family came to propose marriage. Old Madam Shen accepted the invitation.”
Shuang Jiang frowned and asked, “Who is the person the Wei family is proposing to?”
“It’s, it’s Miss.” Jingzhe stomped her feet anxiously. “We still don’t know what the situation is in the Wei family. How can Old Madam accept the invitation without asking Miss? Master and Madam don’t even know. This is clearly a trap.”
Jingzhe had never liked Old Madam Shen, so she naturally knew that Old Madam Shen would definitely make things difficult for Shen Miao. If the Wei family was really a good family, Old Madam Shen would definitely turn down this proposal.
……
“Miss, what should we do? We have to write to Master quickly.” Bai Lu looked anxious.
The maids in the room were all flustered, but Shen Miao was silent. A moment later, under the surprised gazes of the maids, she chuckled and said, “This is really strange. Although the Minister of Zhongshu is a fourth-grade official, the Wei family is rich. As for the son of the Wei family, Wei Qian, he’s also a talent. I’m flattered that such a good thing happened to me.”
