Seeing that Shen Miao was deep in thought, Bai Lu said, “Miss, this hairpin is beautiful. I’ll put it on for you.”

Only then did Shen Miao come back to her senses.

In the end, Shuang Jiang put some rouge on Shen Miao’s face. Gu Yu walked over with a green cloak with rabbit fur and smiled. “Miss, you’re really beautiful. Madam will definitely be surprised to see you.”

Outside the door, Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were waiting. Shen Qiu tore off a leaf and said, “Mother, why don’t you let Sister find clothes and jewelry to wear from the rewards? This will save a lot of trouble.”

“What do you know?” Luo Xueyan said angrily, “Who knows if those clothes have been worn by consorts? As for jewelry, forget it. Jiaojiao can wear whatever she likes. It’s better not to interfere.”

Shen Miao had always liked tacky clothes, which gave Luo Xueyan a headache. No matter how Luo Xueyan persuaded her, Shen Miao could not abandon her love for gold and silver jewelry. Therefore, after a long time, Luo Xueyan was used to it.

Shen Qiu stuck out his tongue and said softly, “If my sister wears something shiny again…” Before he could finish his sentence, the door was pushed open.

“S-Sister…” Shen Qiu opened his mouth and stared at Shen Miao like a fool.

The girl was wearing a purple dress with jade patterns and a lotus green cloak with rabbit fur on the outside. The fluffy rabbit fur covering her chin, making her small face look even smaller. Her skin was fair to begin with, and when she wore a lotus green dress, she looked extremely noble.

Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin looked at her in a daze. In an instant, they seemed to have seen the noble golden phoenix behind the throne hall.

It was precisely because Shen Miao had always been wearing gold and silver that now, the more simple she wore, the more noble she looked. That calm attitude was something they had never seen before. Luo Xueyan subconsciously rubbed her chest. Because she came from the Northwest Desert, after she married Shen Xin and came to the capital, she was often mocked by the noble ladies here for being vulgar and impolite. Luo Xueyan had also secretly invited someone to learn how to dress. However, even if she could learn how to dress, she could not learn the gracefulness and nobleness rich ladies exuded, so she gave up.

Now, her daughter looked more noble and dignified than any noble lady in the capital. How could she not be surprised?

“Hahahaha.” It was Shen Xin who broke the silence first. He looked up and laughed loudly. When he looked at Shen Miao again, his eyes were filled with pride. “My daughter has grown up. My Jiaojiao is now a gorgeous beauty!” His words were extremely vulgar, making Luo Xueyan glare at him. When she turned around, she saw that the soldiers Shen Qiu brought back were all staring at Shen Miao with sparkling eyes. She couldn’t help but feel a little smug. Then, she said, “Forget it, let’s get into the carriage first. It won’t be good to be late.” After saying that, she walked up to Shen Miao to talk to her.

Shen Miao was not used to being treated like a child, but when she saw Shen Xin and Shen Qiu’s doting gazes, she paused. In the eyes of her parents and brother, she was still Shen Jiaojiao.

Ren Wanyun noticed the begonias hairpin on Shen Miao’s head and smiled. “Jiaojiao, this hairpin is really beautiful. Did you choose it yourself?”
