Chapter 120: Chapter 117 Xuanbao’s Gifted Clothes

Princess Kangyi couldn’t believe the sight of the two figures walking away in the distance.

The little girl was all smiles, talking about who knows what with the little boy beside her.

The boy turned his head, his usually cold and indifferent face flashed with disbelief, looking helplessly at her.

When had Ninth Cousin ever bothered to give someone a proper look?

Let alone show any other expression!

At a glance, it was clear that the two of them were very familiar with each other.

"Nanny, who is she? Isn’t she just a maid? Why would Ninth Cousin protect her and punish me?"

Previously, Ninth Cousin had ignored her, not paying any attention.

But since Ninth Cousin treated everyone that way, she didn’t find it strange.

Now, Ninth Cousin was actually punishing her because of a girl she didn’t recognize, and Princess Kangyi found it a bit hard to accept.

What she found even harder to accept was that the girl’s dress actually glittered, looking even more beautiful than the one she was wearing!

The nanny, who had just been frightened by Xuanyuan Que’s icy gaze to the point her legs were still weak, shook her head: "The servant does not know; I will inquire with Aunt Yuhua later."

She considered herself unlucky; being of such a dignified status, the Princess couldn’t possibly be punished, so it had to be her who would be taking the punishment.

She had been mistaken, thinking that there were no nobles in a small place like Shaxi County.

It was not until the sun came out that she realized the extraordinary dressing of the young girl, who was already showing signs of stunning beauty despite her tender age; how could she possibly be a maid?

In the sunlight, the girl’s light vermilion dress shimmered with a lustrous, flowing light, ethereal and elegant.

It was dazzling but not blinding, luxurious yet retaining a sense of simplicity.

It was an understated boastfulness, full of ethereal grace.

Surely not the garb of a mortal!

The most precious was that lustrous, flowing light that appeared hidden yet visible.

The more it was this way, the more it proved the extraordinary nature of the dress.

Making a dress flashy with jewels and brilliance is not difficult; what’s difficult is the subtle interplay of visibility and concealment.

An understated luxury is the ultimate statement!

She was a nanny from the Duke Residence, having visited the Imperial Palace many times, and considered herself experienced and knowledgeable.

Even the priceless brocade phoenix robe worn by the Empress during her coronation seemed less valuable than the simple dress on the girl’s body.

It wasn’t that the phoenix robe wasn’t gorgeous or valuable; that simple dress was several times more ornate with embroidery of gold and silver threads and adorned with various sizes of pearls and gems, each rare and extraordinary!

Nevertheless, she felt that the Empress’s phoenix robe couldn’t compare to the simple dress on the young girl!

What status must a girl who wore such a dress possess?

Could she really have mistaken her for a maid?

"I will tell Great-Aunt that Ninth Cousin wants to punish me because of a maid!" Princess Kangyi decided to seek support from the Empress Dowager and, by the way, ask for such a dress for herself.

Not far away, Xuanyuan Que was still holding the set of clothes he had picked up from the ground, which he now returned to her.

Ruo Xuan didn’t take it, expressing happily, "Brother Xuanyuan, take a look and see if you like it. I bought it especially for you."

Divine Lord Xuanyuan had given her so many things; she thought she should reciprocate.

Xuanyuan Que looked at the orange clothes in his hands and fell into a deep silence.

Without her saying so, he wouldn’t have even known it was men’s clothing!

"Brother Xuanyuan, doesn’t this color resemble the color of sunlight? You’ll definitely look good in it," she said.

There is a variety of Xuancao Flowers that are orange, so Ruo Xuan thought orange was especially nice!

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

Nice?

Resembling the color of sunlight?

No, this was not the color of sunlight; he felt that he would look like a moving giant orange in it!

Xuanyuan Que declined decisively, "No need!"

Although he didn’t care much for appearances, looking like an orange was something he could not accept.

Worried that she would feel he didn’t like it and go buy other strangely colored clothes for him, he added, "Except for clothes made from the silk of Heavenly Silkworms, I will not wear anything else."

Heavenly Silkworms were not easy to raise, and Heavenly Silk wasn’t easy to weave into fabric; it required considerable spiritual power. Besides, she wouldn’t know how to make clothes, so that meant she shouldn’t bother.

Ruo Xuan: "...."

This request is too high, isn’t it?

Heavenly Silkworms are not that easy to raise!

But clothes made from Heavenly Silk are indeed much more comfortable than those made from earthly silkworm silk.

"All right then! I’ll make you one from Heavenly Silk next time, and this garment I’ll give to brother."

Yan Huan, Yan Feng, and Yan Jiaojiao, three siblings, just happened to come around from behind the rockery.

Yan Huan ran to Ruo Xuan’s side: "Xuanbao, what garment? Give it to me! I want it!"

Ruo Xuan said cheerfully, "Sure! Then I’ll give it to you!"

Ruo Xuan handed the orange garment to Yan Huan.

Yan Huan: "..."

Is the garment from Xuanbao women’s clothing?

Can he say he doesn’t want it?

Xuanyuan Que’s face darkened; did she really not know that re-gifting an unwanted gift to someone else is an impolite thing to do?

Xuanyuan Que snatched away the garment: "I didn’t say I don’t want this set, I meant that there’s no need to send this kind of garment next time."

Ruo Xuan: ...Is that what he meant?

Ruo Xuan could only say to Yan Huan: "Then next time I will send you another set."

Yan Jiaojiao felt that she had been ignored by Xuanbao, so she stepped forward, hooked Ruo Xuan’s small arm, and shook it: "What about me?"

Ruo Xuan: "Jiaojiao will have one too, Brother Feng will also have one, everyone will have one!"

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

At last, all the little friends were satisfied, except for the most handsome one.

Unfortunately, no one noticed that he wasn’t satisfied.

Soon, they reached the classroom for lessons.

Yan Jiaojiao pulled Ruo Xuan to sit in the back.

Yan Huan decisively sat in front of Ruo Xuan.

Yan Feng, feeling the chill from his little cousin, decisively went to sit with his own brother.

Xuanyuan Que sat quietly in the very front, taking out a book to read.

Before long, Princess Kangyi came in with red eyes and, seeing Xuanyuan Que sitting alone, she walked over to him.

Without looking up, Xuanyuan Que said indifferently, "Stay away from me."

Yan Huan saw Princess Kangyi frown and muttered softly, "Why is the crybaby here too? So annoying!"

Yan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she saw Princess Kangyi and whispered to Ruo Xuan, "Xuanbao, remember to keep your distance from her in the future. She’s so annoying, always tattling and crying, thinks she’s all that!"

Ruo Xuan nodded, indicating she understood.

Princess Kangyi saw Yan Jiaojiao’s reaction and said with dissatisfaction, "Yan Jiaojiao, why are you here, you fool? You can’t even recite the Thousand Characters Text; how are you fit to be Ninth Cousin’s study companion?"

Yan Jiaojiao: "Ninth Cousin is my real cousin, and if I’m not fit, then who is? You can memorize the Thousand Characters Text, what’s so great about that? Xuanbao can understand what the Thousand Characters Text means! She also understands the Four Books and Five Classics."

Princess Kangyi glared at Ruo Xuan; the Empress Dowager’s aunt said she was Ninth Cousin’s good friend, said she was very smart, said her clothes were a gift from Ninth Cousin!

She already knew she was just a child from a village at the foot of the mountain, just a commoner; how did she deserve to wear clothes gifted by her cousin?

How could she possibly understand the Four Books and Five Classics?

She probably could only recite a line or two and knew their meanings to show off!

She could only fool someone like Yan Jiaojiao, the idiot!

Wait until Master starts the lesson, and everyone will see who is the smartest!

Just as she was about to speak, Master Han entered with a seven or eight-year-old boy, "Princess, Xiuxiu, you guys find a seat first, and I will arrange seats according to your learning progress."

Princess Kangyi glared at Yan Jiaojiao and Ruo Xuan one more time, then sat down in the front row, just one table away from Xuanyuan Que.

She looked at Yan Jiaojiao triumphantly!

She learned everything quickly: music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, riding and archery, she was better than other children her age in everything.

Everyone said she was a little genius girl.

Among children her age, Yan Jiaojiao was definitely the stupidest one, afraid to be called out by the Master, hiding in the very back every time.

If that Xuanbao was so great, why didn’t she dare sit in the front?

Yan Jiaojiao wouldn’t fall for her trap, pulling Ruo Xuan, insisting on not sitting in the front!
