On the night of the palace banquet, Zhou Qing, the princess of the Zhou Dynasty, wore a palace dress embroidered with phoenix patterns with red gold thread. The nine-tailed phoenix hairpin was inserted diagonally between her temples, and a cinnabar mole on her forehead made her skin look better than snow. All the ministers in the room were whispering, saying that the eldest princess's appearance could not be compared to that of the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
But her consort, Xie Heng, the crown prince of Weiguo, never looked at her from beginning to end.
His eyes were always following Su Rou, who was wearing a moon-white skirt on the opposite table and only had a magnolia hairpin on her temples.
