He dashed into the bedroom downstairs, found the cold water on the tea table, and took two big gulps.
Fortunately, the old madame had moved to the east wing. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself if she saw his embarrassed state.
After about half an hour, Wei Ziyao finished dressing and came downstairs. Hong Hao had already delivered breakfast. They sat around the stone table, waiting for Wei Ziyao to come down and eat together.
As soon as she appeared, Hong Hao's eyes lit up. "Princess Consort, you're so beautiful today. You'll definitely outshine all the other beauties in the palace."
It was just a casual compliment, but Ki Chien-chul's expression turned ugly. He coughed dryly. "Ahem!"
Hong Hao immediately retreated obediently.
The old madame saw their interaction and smiled. She turned to Wei Ziyao.
"Indeed, Princess Consort's outfit is not ostentatious, but it's memorable. It doesn't look like the traditional clothing of this dynasty. Which artist drew this?"
"It was Miss … Princess Consort drew it herself." Tsui Hee had recovered a lot in the past two days, and could serve by her side.
"Yao 'er drew it herself?"
"Yes! Old madame, look! " As Tsui Hee spoke, she took out the drawings tucked in her lapel as if showing off. "Princess Consort gave this to me last night. She said it was for the servants in the herb garden to change into new clothes. This, these two are for Hong Hao's guards. This is for you and Xu Mama. Take a look."
"There's also this old servant's?" Xu Mama looked on from the side and happily took the drawing. "Aiya, this old servant really likes it. Thank you, Princess Consort."
The few of them gathered around to look at the drawings. Even the new servants didn't dare to come forward to take a look. They craned their necks to see what was going on.
In this happy atmosphere, there was only one person whose expression was so dark that it was frightening.
"You don't have This King's?" He almost gritted his teeth as he asked this question.
"Royal Highness, aren't all your clothes custom-made in the palace? We found a small civilian workshop. It's not suitable for someone of your noble status. Besides, I've changed these clothes. If you wear … "
"Yes! This King doesn't care! "
"Oh." "Oh," Wei Ziyao replied, then lowered her head to eat. Ki Chien-chul was also preparing to eat, but when he lowered his head, he saw Wei Ziyao's exposed neck.
However, when he saw that the old woman was present, he didn't say anything.
It wasn't until they only played breakfast and boarded the carriage to the Imperial Palace that he finally lost his temper.
"Your clothes are revealing too much. You don't know how to behave yourself!"
"You!" Wei Ziyao looked at her clothes. How was it too much?
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? How is it too much? Compared to what Ruier is wearing … "
"Ruier looks good in it, but you look unbearable in it. Block it!"
After he finished speaking, he threw a silk handkerchief over. It was a navy blue handkerchief embroidered with a begonia flower.
"This … this color doesn't match at all, right? How ugly would it be? If I enter the palace like this, wouldn't I become a laughingstock? "Wearing a navy blue dress and such a thing around her neck was so ugly.
Ki Chien-chul completely ignored Wei Ziyao's resistance. "I'm asking you to enter the palace to pay your respects, not to enter the palace to participate in a beauty pageant! Wear it properly! "
Fortunately, the silk handkerchief was long enough. Wei Ziyao unwillingly wrapped the handkerchief around her neck.
"This dress clearly doesn't reveal anything, not even the neck. Just put me in a sack, stubborn!"
Wei Ziyao knew that talking to him about freedom of dress was like playing the lute to a cow. She might as well obediently wrap the silk handkerchief around her neck.
However, it was a little embarrassing! From the moment she got off the carriage to the Empress' chambers, she was the center of attention.
Everyone who saw her appearance wanted to take a few more glances.
Until she saw the Empress. Even the dignified Empress almost burst out laughing when she saw her.
