*Two days before the banquet.*
In Mei's room.
Mei was admiring herself while two maids combed her hair.
One of her maids spoke up,
"Miss, you look stunning. If you walk into the banquet with this look, everyone will be amazed."
Mei responded,
" I am the most beautiful girl in this entire Shanghai Dynasty, after all."
On the other hand, in my manor.
"Good Morning, Miss, we need to get ready for the banquet."
Xue *yawning*
"What time is it. I want to sleep a little more"
"Miss, it is already 7 o'clock. The banquet starts at 9 o'clock."
"Oh shit! , I am late."
I plunged out of bed to get ready.
" Yin, prepare me some bath water."
"Yes, ma'am, on it."
After bathing, I went to my room and wore a beautiful dress blue dress with the pattern of a peacocks feather, not only that it was made with a see-through material flowing by the sleeves and the end of the dress. I did a little make - up and secured my hair into a bun with a pin, the pin was golden coloured with the picture of a Phoenix carved into it.
I was about to turn around
When suddenly, Yin replied.
'Miss, you look gorgeous'.
' Thank you, Yin. '
Yin questioned.
'Well, Miss, were you awake last night?
I rose up from my and ruffled her hair while replying.
'Yes'
Yin asked.
Miss, why did you stay up all night?
I smiled at Yin and said
'You will know when the right time comes.
*Galloping of carriages and neighing of horses.*
'Miss, looks like the carriage is waiting for you. ' Exclaimed Yin
I opened the door to find Mei already present in front of her carriage. Mei was in awe after looking at me. Mei clenched her hands as she burned in jealousy deep down inside her heart. To be honest, I was really satisfied with the look on her face.
We both left the manor with our parents to attend the banquet.
