Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(27) Prince Ying Arrives, Completely Lacking Any Warning Sign

Once the imperial edict for moving one's home came down, it set off a huge whirlwind in the entire capital. It had turned into everyone's topic of idle conversation over tea and meals. Very quickly, Elder Chu's birthday feast had arrived.

In the capital, a lot of people carried curiosity towards Chu family's little Miss, so, one after another, they participated in this birthday feast. Even those that didn't receive a written invitation used every possible means to get one. It was said that these several days, the servants of Chu family had dredged up a lot of profit, and their hands were amply greased!

The day of the birthday celebration, Chu family's front door was as busy as a marketplace. This was something that Chu family had never achieved, even at the height of the family's powers. Elder Chu smiled until one could even see his back teeth, thinking that his status in the capital had risen with the tide.

The servants in Chu family carried all kinds of pastries, coming and going, wishing they had grown an extra pair of hands or legs. Today, the Chu family manor was unusually lively.

Madam Xing and the others of her kind immediately made their children take out their best clothing. They were adorned in a stylish manner that was high class, because a lot of high government officials and nobility had come to attend this feast. Among them, there was no lack of young, talented and handsome men and unmarried daughters from noble houses. As a result, the Chu family planned to take advantage of this chance to give several of their children who were of age the opportunity to look for a marriage partner.

Compared to the scenes of the fervent bustling activities outside, inside the wing in the back courtyard, it was relatively quiet. At this moment, Chu Qing-Yan supported her chin and was yawning away.

"Daddy, you put on your shoes the wrong way." She kindly reminded.

Daddy Chu, having heard what was said, lowered his head to look at his shoes. It really didn't seem right. So, he started to play the game of switching shoes with himself.

Whereas Mother Chu clasped a pink-colored butterfly skirt and handed it over to her, "This was sent over under Aunt-in-law's orders several days ago, you try it on and let's have a look."

Once Chu Qing-Yan saw this color, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. Why was it this color? Even though she had a cute girl's body, her soul was still twenty years old ah. She hasn't worn this color for more than ten years, making her feel as if she had returned to kindergarten once again. However, when she lifted her head to see her mother's face full of anticipation, Chu Qing-Yan, with difficulty, tactfully swallowed her words of refusal. Forget it, in any case. she also had a cute girl's face now, just consider this a revival of the period of time of her early youth!

When she had finished putting on the dress, she walked out under mother's happy gaze and daddy's dumbstruck expression. Looking at the her in the mirror, Chu Qing-Yan couldn't help but sigh. As expected, people depended on clothing. At first glance, she really was a beautiful child that made people feel pleased. She raised her eyebrow, the person in the mirror looked like a spirit, with eyes that looked around with a tranquility that was inconsistent to her age. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared and returned to that pure, innocent smiling expression.

Since this was the first time she would appear in front of everyone, then she should dress her best and strive for the benefits that ought to belong to her parents!

What had happened before in the Chu family could only be regarded as small scale matters. The real battlefield would probably begin today!

She was the granddaughter-in-law personally picked by the Retired Emperor of Western Xuan. Her marriage was also personally bestowed as an imperial edict written by Western Xuan's Emperor. Outside, there was no shortage of people who were curious about her from the rumors. However, she needed to perform well in order to gain more opportunities for routes of retreat.
