Bab 151: the banquet

They are arriving in the palace just before the banquet started. Ni Qing is applying make-up to cover the bruises on her face. she is deciding to wear a veil to cover half of her face because of the bruises. She does not want people to freak out about her wound due to the beating from Consort Yin two days ago.

She is wearing the empress robe which matches the emperor golden robe with the dragon emblem. In Ni Qing robes, there is a golden phoenix emblem in her robe. she is wearing the golden phoenix pin on her head and making her hair into exquisite detail.

"This is for you…" Jin Yu is presenting the tray with the newest jewellery for her to use tonight. it is a set of earrings and necklace with the jade stone as the centrepiece to compliment her wedding ring.
