Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Chu Yi Presents the ’Battle Robes

That evening, Chu Yi came to Chuxiang Garden.

He no longer needed to use a token, as "facial recognition" was sufficient for him to enter the Prince Residence, hence the identity token had long been returned to Chu Nanli.

This was also why the War God Residence’s identity token was seen when Chu Nanli was treating Luo Shuye.

"Master, this is what Xinlian asked me to bring over."

"What is this?"

Chu Nanli received it and, out of curiosity, opened the box. Seeing the contents inside, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

On top lay an extremely eye-catching set of jewelry, and underneath should be a formal dress for the ceremony.

"For my attire for the Spring Banquet?"

"Yes."

A wave of warmth crossed Chu Nanli’s heart, "Thank her for me, she has been considerate."

Originally, she planned to casually pick any outfit from her wardrobe and wear it with a simple hairpin.

Now that Xinlian had specially prepared this attire for her, she could not let down Xinlian’s thoughtfulness.

"Yuan Qiu also had a message for you."

Chu Yi looked at the woman before him and for a moment couldn’t distinguish whether these were Yuan Qiu’s words or his own wishful thinking, "At the Spring Banquet, it should be you who shines the brightest, not them."

Chu Nanli was slightly stunned, but she quickly understood what Yuan Qiu truly meant to say.

The next day at the Spring Banquet with officials in attendance, as the legitimate Princess Consort of the War God Residence, she must have attire that matched her status to command the scene.

Only if she was dazzling enough could she shatter some of the rumors without a fight.

And Lin Fuying, favored by Ye Yunting, no matter how much she struggled, was still just a concubine without even the title of a side consort.

Chu Nanli was not unaware of these things; it was just that her personality was not to be high-profile, so she had not planned accordingly.

Now, with Xinlian and Yuan Qiu’s intentions clear, she was not the type to be pretentious, so there was nothing to be conflicted about.

"Okay, tell them I’ve received their thoughts, and I also look forward to the ladies’ performances at the Spring Banquet tomorrow."

Chu Yi silently let out a sigh of relief, responded with a yes, bowed, and left.

As soon as he left, Yanyan stepped forward.

"Master, allow me to lock up the clothes in your room to avoid any mishaps."

Chu Nanli looked at the little maid’s nervous appearance and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Alright, I’ll leave it in the capable hands of Yanyan the housekeeper."

Yanyan blushed at being teased but was quick about her business. After coming out of the room, she immediately said, "I’ve prepared a lot of rose petals and scented oils. After you soak in a rose bath, let me rub rose essential oil onto your body."

"Essential oil? Have you been using your own salary to buy things for me again?"

Yanyan hemmed and hawed, "You also bought things for me, so it’s only right for me to prepare some thoughts for you."

Chu Nanli was both annoyed and amused.

"Essential oil for massaging isn’t cheap, you’re using your own money to buy it, treating yourself like a fool?"

After saying this, she took out a few silver notes and handed them over.

"Although I’m now in a position where I need to use money frequently, that doesn’t mean I’m so poor I can’t make ends meet. We are quite wealthy, so go ahead and buy whatever you need in the future. If you’re short on cash, come to me."

Yanyan obediently agreed.

In the end, Chu Nanli washed her hair, soaked in the rose bath, applied the rose essential oil, but refused Yanyan’s offer to do a "facial treatment."

"The best last-minute fix is to get a good night’s sleep. A good sleep improves your complexion. Besides, your Princess Consort is naturally beautiful. Now, be at ease."

Chu Nanli sent the little maid away and then... went to her space to refine medicine.

Before the strong medicinal scent could cling to her, she rushed to sleep to avoid being caught by the little maid the next day.

Meanwhile, at Furong Academy, all the servants were still preparing with great diligence, bustling about, serving the lady of the house.

"Your Highness, wearing the outfit created by the Capital City’s first embroiderer tomorrow, you will surely eclipse all the others." Dong Yue and Xiaoyun knelt beside the noble couch, one applying rouge and the other massaging, both flattering extravagantly.

Lin Fuying curled her lips slightly, picturing Chu Nanli looking dull and lackluster next to her, feeling a surge of satisfaction in her heart.
