Chapter 213

New Year Eve’s Banquet (2)

Mu Mingtang knew tonight would be boring, but she still had to go out and be the mascot. Especially on New Year’s Eve,  Mu Mingtang refused to let others look down on Prince An’s mansion and dressed very grandly.

After lunch, she put on makeup under the service of a group of people. When she picked out her clothes and combed her hair, Mu Mingtang suddenly thought of something and made a special trip to ask the maid to change her headdress.

It was the set of white jade heads that Jiang Mingwei gave her back. She had heard that Jiang Mingwei asked a craftsman to customize Jewelry for the New Year’s Eve banquet.

Xie Xuanchen was much faster than Mu Mingtang. He had nothing to do after changing his clothes and had been sitting on the couch outside reading books. People came and went, and the footsteps never stopped, but Xie Xuanchen recognized Mu Mingtang’s footsteps immediately. She walked out when Xie Xuanchen raised his head.

Xie Xuanchen glanced at her, then glanced at Mu Mingtang’s headdress and recognized it at once. Then he looked at her and laughed, Mu Mingtang held on to the scene and said, “What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at you.”

Mu Mingtang adjusted the hairpin on her temples and raised her neck slightly: “I just look right. It’s called making the best use of everything, and I have no other intentions.”

Mu Mingtang’s dress today was extremely grand, not only the clothes, even the bun was towering and gorgeous, and the pearl green was jingling. Jiang Mingwei’s set of white jade jewelry was really for big occasions, and it was very appropriate to be scattered in Mu Mingtang’s hair at this moment. The gemstones inlaid on the jade are dazzling and dazzling and were embraced by the warm jade light, so they would not disappear from the crowd, nor would they lose their poise.

At this moment, Mu Mingtang’s hair was like clouds, but her neck was slender. When she raised her neck, she looked like a swan, which was quite luxurious. Xie Xuanchen didn’t argue with her and said, “Okay, if you say no, then there’s no. Let’s go. It’s time for us to enter the palace.”

According to the unwritten rule, the higher the status, the later the person arrives. When Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang entered the arena, there were already many people in the palace.

The fragrance of flowers and bursts of laughter were floating everywhere. Suddenly hearing the eunuch’s announcement, everyone became silent and looked at the door. 

“Prince An is here, Princess An is here.”

Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang walked into the door. Xie Xuanchen wore a long dark purple coat today, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. Mu Mingtang walked beside him, also wearing a purple ruffled skirt with a large sleeve shirt of the same color. Xie Xuanchen’s clothes were dark purple and close to ink. Although Mu Mingtang’s dress was also purple, it was obviously much brighter than Xie Xuanchen’s. Her big-sleeved shirt was embroidered with silver treasures, which shone brightly under the light, giving it a heavy and delicate feel.

Both of them wore dark clothes, which seemed a little dark in the night, but Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were both fair and tall, and they were almost white under the light. Such a dark color did not appear heavy on them, but had an incomparable sense of luxury.

Especially Xie Xuanchen, who was vigorous and thin and slender, with extremely neat lines after the belt was tied, just like the n.o.ble son of the world.

Two people walked side by side, the lights were brilliant, and they complemented each other, and everyone in the palace was silent. After a few breaths, the chatter and laughter resumed.

Everyone in the hall came to greet Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang one after another. 

Jiang Mingwei and Mrs Jiang were standing together, talking to an old acquaintance. Suddenly, a voice came from behind. The other party looked back and even left Jiang Mingwei and Mrs Jiang and left.

Now Jiang Mingwei was Princess Jin, and Jiang Honghao was also promoted, so many old acquaintances came to pay New Year’s greetings to the Jiang family. Suddenly when people around Jiang Mingwei left her to greet others, she was displeased and looked up to see that it was Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen.

After seeing them, Jiang Mingwei’s mood became worse and worse. She looked at the grand welcome at the door and couldn’t help but think bitterly. 

Why is Xie Xuanchen still breathing? Didn’t they tell them that he had only one breath left and couldn’t survive this winter? The winter has pa.s.sed, and the New Year has come, but he is healthy enough to attend the New Year’s banquet. It doesn’t look like he’s going to die soon.
