Chapter 130 Roommate
Ji Zhiyun carefully touched it with his hand, gently stroking the delicate texture and feeling the softness and exquisite craftsmanship.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that delicate patterns are cleverly inlaid in the middle of the fabric, forming a unique and beautiful design.
Roll up your sleeves and let the sunlight shine through the fabric. You can see silver threads shimmering with a faint light, as dazzling as twinkling stars.
"It's the Liaowen Silk!" Ji Zhiyun exclaimed in surprise.
Suddenly remembering what Su Fuying had just said, her tone was filled with disbelief: "What did the princess say she was going to give me?"
"I'll give you one." Su Fuying replied with a smile, then gently withdrew her hand.
Ji Zhiyun was secretly amazed, but then shook her head.
She knew all too well that this piece of brocade was priceless; even an ordinary family could hardly afford such a luxurious item in their entire life.
So he politely declined, saying, "Princess, I appreciate your kindness, but I really dare not accept such an expensive gift."
Su Fuying smiled and didn't say anything more.
The carriage moved slowly forward, the bumpy ride causing discomfort. Finally, the carriage arrived at the palace gate, and the two stepped down.
Standing before the palace gate, Su Fuying looked up at the towering gate and felt a strange sense of oppression welling up in her heart.
The palace is solemn and imposing, like a huge cage, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
People around cast envious glances, and someone whispered, "Is that Princess Yongle? She is indeed beautiful and charming."
"Yes, when I saw her last time, she was as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven."
"Princess Yongle's attire today is truly exceptional; she looks absolutely stunning."
Hearing these compliments, everyone began to carefully examine Su Fuying's attire.
They noticed that she was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, the fabric embroidered with exquisite patterns that perfectly complemented her气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament). Especially her outer garment made of lace-patterned silk made her radiant, like a fairy descended from heaven.
"Which shop makes that fabric? I've never seen it before."
"It seems to be a brocade with shimmering patterns, which is a tribute from a foreign vassal state. I've only ever heard of this kind of material shimmering under light."
"Lingwen silk? That's a material that only two bolts are produced in the palace every year. How could she possibly wear it?"
"Exactly, it's definitely fake."
Su Fuying was surprised by how valuable the gift was; the person even gave her half a box of it!
"Ignore them, let's go inside first," Ji Zhiyun said in a low voice, frowning.
Feeling the scrutinizing gazes around her, Ji Zhiyun frowned deeply.
However, just as they were about to enter the palace gate, a clear and familiar voice came from behind: "Princess Yongle!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to attract everyone's attention. Su Fuying stopped and slowly turned her head.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
“Miss Ren, we meet again.” A hint of sarcasm flashed in Su Fuying’s eyes.
"Yes, Princess Yongle, why did you bring an extra guard today?" Ren Yinxue stared intently at Ying Er's face, as if trying to see through him.
Although she was smiling, the murderous intent deep in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Su Fuying glanced at Ying Er without leaving a trace. The latter had his head down and his expression was calm. He didn't have his usual playful and smiling look. He really did look a bit like a secret guard.
She smiled slightly and said to Ren Yinxue, "The main problem is that every time I go out, there are villains who want to harm me. Today is such a grand banquet, so naturally I need to be careful." After saying that, she gently patted Ying Er's shoulder.
After speaking, the woman's gaze fell on Ren Yinxue, her expression meaningful.
Ren Yinxue's gaze faltered for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Is that so?"
"Miss Ren, you must be careful and not walk at night."
Su Fuying calmly brushed a stray hair behind her ear, revealing an exquisite earring. She glanced down at Ren Yin, who was gritting her teeth, then turned and strode away.
The onlookers were still in a daze. What were they talking about? What assassination? How come they hadn't heard anything about something so serious?
As Su Fuying entered the main hall, a large crowd had already gathered. Upon seeing her, they all fell silent and turned to look at her.
"What kind of eyes do these people have?"
Ji Zhiyun felt uncomfortable being stared at and couldn't help but complain.
Su Fuying said to her in a low voice, "Why don't you go over first?"
If I stay by her side, I'll probably be watched all night.
Ji Zhiyun naturally understood this principle, but still shook her head, "I'll go with you."
"Looking at it won't cost me anything, so I'm not leaving."
Ji Zhiyun puffed out her cheeks and muttered softly.
Su Fu didn't insist, and the two found seats and sat down.
The two walked to their seats and sat down, attracting strange looks from those around them, and whispers arose one after another.
Despite the pointing fingers and whispers of the crowd, Su Fuying remained unconcerned, simply sitting there calmly, quietly sipping her tea.
Ji Zhiyun couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to reprimand him, but Su Fuying stopped her.
"Ignore them," Su Fuying said calmly.
Ji Zhiyun nodded, but secretly felt indignant for Su Fuying.
"Oh, who do we have here? It turns out to be our Miss Ji who has climbed up to Princess Yongle."
A strange voice came from behind. Su Fuying turned her head and saw a strange woman looking at her and Ji Zhiyun with a malicious expression. Beside her was a girl with the same expression.
"How did you come?"
Ji Zhiyun became agitated instantly and stood up from her seat.
Seeing this, Su Fuying also stood up. No matter who it was, speaking in such a tone was not a good thing.
“Sister, Princess Yongle.”
A cautious voice came from behind the woman, and Su Fuying roughly guessed who it was.
Ji Nanqing's mother, Zhang.
“Miss, I was brought in by the master. If you have any objections, you can ask the master.”
For a moment, Ji Zhiyun was incredulous. "How could this be? How could Father have brought you here?"
Such banquets are usually attended by officials and their families; how could a concubine or a concubine's daughter possibly attend?
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, go ask around. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Zhang sneered, then turned to look at Su Fuying behind Ji Zhiyun, "This must be Princess Yongle, she's really beautiful."
Su Fuying felt a surge of disgust. "Of course, you don't need to worry about that."
Zhang's face immediately turned extremely ugly. She hadn't expected this seemingly delicate woman to be so assertive. But she quickly regained her composure and said through gritted teeth, "So what if you're a princess? Our Qingqing is the Crown Princess."
“A concubine.” Su Fuying calmly corrected.
"you!"
“Yun’er”.
