Chapter 1263: Chapter 1261: Special Attention from Master
Eldest Lady ng chatted with Wufu while discreetly observing her. She noticed that Wufu was taller than her peers, with a slender waist and long legs, dressed appropriately and elegantly. Her light purple moon-white dress was edged with silver thread, the hem embroidered with just a few firm bamboos. Around her waist hung a Jade Belt inlaid with Sapphires, a jade lotus-shaped Forbidden Step Ornant entwined with Multicolored Silk Thread dangling gracefully over the skirt.
She was a bright and charming young girl.
Many people looked over, showing surprise, for Wufu’s face was indeed unfamiliar. However, who didn’t recognize Eldest Lady ng? Yet she was amiable towards this unfamiliar girl.
Who could she be?
"Eldest Lady ng, this young lady seems unfamiliar, she is..." Soone finally couldn’t restrain themselves and ca over to ask.
Eldest Lady ng smiled faintly and said ambiguously, "She is an old friend of our Old Master, Miss Wu."
An old friend of Old Master ng?
Isn’t that a cross-generational friendship? On what basis?
"This is Madam Du, the wife of the Minister of Revenue." Eldest Lady ng introduced the lady to Wufu.
"Madam Du." Wufu curtsied and received a Ruby Hairpin, which Madam Du had taken from her head, as a eting gift.
More people ca over, and Wufu, led by Eldest Lady ng, t several ladies, one eting gift after another. Well, could this be considered a small fortune?
Wufu remained calm, knowing that Eldest Lady ng must have been instructed by her good teacher to give her special attention!
Seeing Wufu’s sowhat uncomfortable deanor, Eldest Lady ng was just about to release her when the sound of a gong rang out. She finally let Wufu go, allowing ng Siyu to stand beside her, softly instructing her daughter, "Take good care of your little master aunt."
Wufu was both amused and exasperated.
ng Siyu took Wufu’s hand and said, "Shall we go over there to watch?"
Wufu nodded.
The sound of music started, and an elegantly dressed Old Madam approached, surrounded by people. ng Siyu continuously introduced people to Wufu and whispered upon seeing the Old Madam, "That’s Old Madam Zeng, the wife of the Grand Preceptor, and the Grand Preceptor Zeng is the Imperial Teacher. I didn’t expect the Princess Consort to invite her as the Guest of Honor!"
"After all, she is the Royal Princess." Wufu whispered back.
She looked up and saw Prince Jingkang and his wife welcoming Old Madam Zeng, the Guest of Honor, with formal bows before entering the venue. The main hosts and guests each took their seats. Only then did Prince Jingkang and his wife take their host seats, and the coming-of-age ceremony comnced.
As the host, Prince Jingkang gave a speech, announcing the official start of the ceremony, followed by Changping’s entrance.
In such a grand family ceremony, the procedure was ticulously regulated, whether in walking, kneeling, or direction, every aspect was extrely particular.
Wufu was truly impressed. The procedure was intricate, yet solemn and dignified, demonstrating to both the public and the heavens the adult ceremony of a young girl.
Watching Changping repeatedly change attires and receive hairpins, Wufu noticed the eyes of the Princess Consort turning red, moist with tears, yet mostly filled with gratification and emotion. She couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions herself.
When one’s daughter cos of age, isn’t this the sentint of every parent at this ti?
Wufu glanced around; everyone attending the ceremony smiled gently. So ladies even seed to share the sentint, wiping their eyes with handkerchiefs.
As for the unmarried young ladies, most were envious. This coming-of-age ceremony was grand enough, and the Guest of Honor was distinguished. Who wouldn’t wish for such admiration?
Finally, it reached the last segnt. Changping, the one reaching marriageable age, bowed to all the participants as a gesture of gratitude. When her gaze reached Wufu, she playfully winked.
Wufu chuckled and feigned annoyance.
So observant individuals noticed this small detail, looking over, and upon seeing Wufu’s appearance clearly, so were quite shocked.
