Inside the palace, in a pavilion with beautiful scenery.

A woman wearing a pale pink skirt was leaning on a bench in the pavilion, looking down at the koi in the lake.

The woman has a beautiful face, a pair of big smart eyes under the willow eyebrows, a tall nose, and a small mouth. This is the eldest princess recognized in the capital as both talented and beautiful, Nangong Yan.

"Princess, the time has come."

The maid on the side warned in a low voice.

Nangong Yan's beautiful eyes moved slightly and she replied lazily: "I know."

"Princess, today is your birthday, you should be happy." Xiao Qing, the personal maid, said.

Nangong Yan said nothing.

No matter her birthday, this was just a blind date arranged for her by her father, emperor and mother.

To her, no one can compare to the person in her heart.

In the main hall.

No matter how unhappy Nangong Yan is, she still has to take her status as a princess into consideration when in front of others.

"The princess has arrived."

Nangong Yan walked into the imperial garden.

When the young masters and ladies who arrived in advance heard the arrival of the princess, they all saluted: "See you, princess. The princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Nangong Yan walked up to the crowd and waved to them.

"You are all here to congratulate me. You don't need to be polite. Just treat me as having fun with me."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

Nangong Yan sat down: "Everyone, please sit down too!"

Everyone took their seats one after another.

After waiting for a while, Nangong Yu and the Queen were not seen coming.

Nangong Yan called the maid and whispered: "Go and ask when the father, the emperor and the queen will come over?"

"Yes, princess."

If the two of you didn't come, it wouldn't be easy to start the meeting in advance.

After a while, the maid who had gone out came back and saluted: "In reply to the princess, the emperor said that there are important matters to discuss in the court. He will come over with the queen later and let you start the banquet."

"knew."

Then he said to the people below: "Since my father, the emperor and my mother have something to do, let's start the banquet first!"

After that, the father-in-law on the side shouted loudly: "Let the banquet begin."

As soon as the words fell, the singing and dancing were in full swing.

A group of palace maids walked in in an orderly manner, carrying wine and food.

Zhu Yan stood up with a glass of wine, raised his glass to Nangong Yan, who was in the first place, and said, "Zhu Yan is here to wish Her Royal Highness the princess a happy birthday and an eternal beauty."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu." Nangong Yan picked up the wine glass and returned the gift.

Zhu Yan put down his wine glass and signaled the servant behind him to bring the gift forward and said: "Today is the birthday of the eldest princess. Zhu found a set of pearl hairpins for the princess. I wish the princess will be as beautiful as pearl hairpins and gems."

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Zhu." Nangong Yan said with a smile.

Zhu Yan said sheepishly: "Haha, don't bother, don't bother."

As the most talented and beautiful woman in the capital, which young man came to this banquet and didn’t come for the princess?

The gifts given by the next young ladies were almost the same. Although Nangong Yan didn't like the jewelry, she still politely thanked them.

"Mo Jin has met the princess and wishes her highness a thousand years."

"Young Master Mo is so polite."

Mo Jin continued: "This is the skirt I found for the princess."

As soon as Mo Jin finished speaking, someone below taunted: "Ha! Her Royal Highness the Princess is the golden branch of our Qingyue Kingdom. She hasn't worn any good skirts yet? Why do you need to give them to her? It's really ridiculous."

"That's right, the second young master of the Mo family is so humble to give you a gift."

"Presumably if General Mo is in the court, it won't be his turn to give gifts to the Mo family, right?"

"A concubine is a concubine, how can he be compared to a concubine?"

The meaning behind the words was clear to everyone present.

Mo Jin's biological mother was raised by the head of the Mo family from his concubine to his mistress shortly after the death of his biological mother in Mo Qing City. As a concubine at that time, Mo Jin naturally became a concubine.

But a stepmother is a stepmother, how can she compare to the real master?

After hearing what those people said, Mo Jin's hands hidden in his sleeves turned white, and a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Humph, a bunch of ignorant people."

"Mo Jin, if you dare, say it again."

Mo Jin sneered and said, "Keep your eyes open. This is the latest style from Qingyi Shop. It's called a pink rosy skirt with beaded yarn."

As soon as this statement came out, it caused an uproar, most notably from the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital.

"The beaded gauze pink haze skirt is a new limited-edition skirt from Qingyifang. I have only heard of its name, but I have never seen it before!"

"Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy the clothes from Qingyi Shop, let alone this limited-edition beaded gauze pink rosy skirt."
