In the next few days, life was quite strange and dull.

Yesterday, my father received the imperial edict and went to the palace. Sure enough, as soon as my father came out, the rich lunch and dinner I was looking forward to were greatly reduced, and some clear soup and vegetarian dishes suddenly swept my appetite. Thinking of the old lady's attitude towards me these days, I feel chilly in my heart.

No matter how much the eldest lady doesn't like me, at least when she sees me, she will show some hypocritical smiles and pretend to be cold. But these days, in addition to sweeping me with indifferent eyes, she despises me with an impatient look. However, when my father is at home, she dares not do anything to me.

This morning, I went to Chu Tianxue's boudoir to learn painting. Yesterday was calligraphy practice, and the day before yesterday was chess. Everything is something I hate, but my prime minister's father insisted on forcing me to learn. In his opinion, the negligence on me over the past ten years should be made up with these useless things.

Of course, someone doesn't want to teach except that I don't want to learn. My eldest sister Chu Tianxue saw that I was not learning these things at the beginning. It didn't take long to teach me and scold me for the first time. Later, I found that I was very thick-skinned, and I always made a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and had no intention to learn. After that, I didn't have the heart to teach it. Then I slept there in a daze and stayed. As soon as the time comes, I will leave.

After about an hour, my plum blossoms were painted as if they had been beaten by frost, and there was no vitality at all. I couldn't help but make Chu Tianxue crazy again. She pointed to the painting and shouted, "Look at you, is this kind of plum blossom still called plum blossom? Plum blossoms have the most important pride. How is it different from other wild flowers that have no value? Chu Tianxiang, you are still your third daughter, why don't you inherit your father's wisdom at all? You are simply the least qualified person I have ever met.

I'm holding the painting and trying to explain. I want to say that I painted an elderly plum blossom, which naturally looks less energetic. However, before she could say anything, the old lady strode in happily. After seeing Chu Tianxue with an angry face, her face sank down and stared at me fiercely, "Tianxue, what's wrong with you? Is Tianxiang angry with you again?"

"I don't have it. I just don't draw well."

"Tianxiang, why is your child so conscienceless? Didn't you make Tianshuang miserable enough? Now, are you going to make your sister angry again? Why do you think your heart is so bad? Before the eldest lady figured out the truth of the matter, she pushed all the consequences on me. I looked at her face that scolded me. I really wanted to slap her, but I thought that this woman had secretly killed so many lives in the house, and I was immediately scared back by her sinister.

"You speak, you speak, what kind of heart do you have?" When the eldest lady saw me saying nothing, she became more and more aggressive. She completely vented Chu Tianshuang's anger and wanted to come to me.

At this time, Chu Tianxue stood up and blocked her, and her tone softened slightly: "Mom, forget it, don't care about her. At that time, let the family see it, and it spread to the master's ears and maybe he thought we had bullied her again.

"Well, that's right. When people grow up, they learn to pretend to be pitiful."

"Okay, mother, come to me. Is there anything wrong with you?"

I listened to their mother sing together. Although I was angry, I still put up with it. At that moment, I turned my back and admired myself for the plum blossoms I drew. Actually, it's not ugly.

"Good thing, snow, big good thing."

"What good thing? Mother, take your time."

"Do you remember that your father entered the palace yesterday? Today, he sent someone to send a letter for you to go to the palace tomorrow.

"Into the palace? What are you doing?

The more the lady said, the more excited she became, and her tone trembled: "Your father went to the palace yesterday and accompanied the emperor to discuss the drought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Later, he met the prince in his spare time, so your father deliberately mentioned you. The prince was very happy to hear that and directly told your father that he wanted to see you. So your father asked someone to send a letter and let you enter the palace tomorrow.

As soon as Chu Tianxue heard it, her face was still angry, and she was instantly happy like peach blossoms in spring. The water eyes narrowed into a slit with affection, and the corners of his mouth rose like honey and said, "Mom, is this true?"

The old lady stretched out a hand and gently stroked her delicate face and said, "It's true, it's true, son, you have to seize this opportunity."

"Mom, where did you say?"

"Tianxue, look at you. You are 17 years old. You have to remember what my mother told you last time."

"Mother..."

"If you really become a princess, your mother and father will die."

"Mom, I won't tell you. I have to prepare for the meeting with Brother Zijun tomorrow."

"Where's Brother Zijun? Do you know that when you enter the palace, you have to obey the rules and call him the prince?"

"I know, mother, by the way, the clothes we made last time, are you ready? We will go to the palace tomorrow. Is it too late?" After Chu Tianxue was overjoyed, his face became worried. I watched and only felt that the mother and daughter were extremely ridiculous.

"Don't worry, I have asked Jinxiufang, and the clothes will arrive this afternoon."

Ah? Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Well, mother, I'm going to prepare some jewelry for going to go to the palace tomorrow. I can't let the prince have a bad impression of me."

"Well, daughter, you must perform well tomorrow."

"I know, mother."

After Chu Tianxue left, the eldest lady stared at me again and said, "Tianxiang, what are you still doing here? Go back and prepare yourself."

I put away the painting in consternation and looked at her with some puzzlement, "What am I going to do?" If her daughter wants to be a princess, it's none of my business.

The concubine said, "Tomorrow, you will go to the palace with Tianxue to see it, so that you won't see your father and say that I, a mother, have treated you badly."

"Ha, this, no, I have other plans tomorrow." She thought that everyone in the world wanted to enter the palace, but she couldn't get anything to enter the palace. I didn't like it. In case I accidentally offend a high-level person inside, I'm still afraid of my life.

"No, you must go tomorrow."

"Ah..."

...............

In the afternoon, the people of Jinxiufang really sent the dresses that I and the eldest lady ordered that day.

The people in Jinxiufang are really handmade. The dresses of the eldest sister Chu Tianxue and Chu Tianshuang are quite chic and beautiful. Chu Tianxue was so happy to get the clothes at that time. She was so excited that she forgot the lady's manners and rushed back to the room to try it on.

And the eldest lady ordered Lian'er to send Chu Tianshuang's clothes. Chu Tianshuang was thinking about it. Except for occasional convenience, she could not walk out of the door casually.

Some of the remaining clothes are mine. The color is not outstanding, and the workmanship is not meticulous. From those threads that have not been cut, it can be seen that this dress was made in a hurry, without any modification or improvement at all. I took them back to my room with a wry smile and comforted myself that they were at least better than some servants' clothes. In the future, when I grow up, I will definitely wear the best and most unique clothes in Kyoto.
