Chapter 658: Dressed Too Luxuriantly
A very cold smile appeared at the corner of Lu Wenshi's lips.
"Before he passed away, I stood by his bed and told him that I hated him. I hated him for most of my life. If I could, I didn't want to be his son at all. No matter how successful others thought he was, no matter how many people admired his knowledge, in the heart of his own son, he was a terrible father!"
Lu Yan felt as if a breath of cold wind had been poured into her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Grandfather is already on his deathbed, why are you still so cruel?"
"Cruel? Aren't you cruel to me?" Lu Wenshi sneered, "You only saw your grandfather lying in bed with a stroke due to anger, but you didn't see the torment and depression your father has been in for so many years. For me, I just said what was in my heart. In my heart, he is indeed a bad father."
"So, father's hatred for grandfather has really reached its limit. Even at the last moment, he was unwilling to say some soft words to let him leave in peace in his grave?"
"So what!" Lu Wenshi said stiffly, "He is not a good father, I am not a good son, and you are not a good daughter. None of us should blame each other. We are all birds of a feather!"
Lu Yan stood there quietly, looking down at the cell floor. After a long while, she raised her head and said, "Father is right. None of us has the right to blame the other, especially me. I have no right to resent father."
"It's good that you know." Lu Wenshi looked at Lu Yan coldly, "From now on, you don't have to call me father anymore. From the moment you knelt at the gate of the mansion and told me everything, the father-daughter relationship between you and me was completely severed."
Lu Yan took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Okay."
"You can go now." Lu Wenshi said coldly.
Lu Yan looked at Lu Wenshi deeply, then turned and left. However, she felt as if her steps weighed a thousand pounds. She felt extremely tired after taking just one step.
After standing there for a long time, she finally turned around, knelt down in front of Lu Wenshi, and kowtowed heavily.
"Father, I am an unfilial daughter and I am sorry for you. No matter how much you hate me in your heart, I still want you to take care of yourself... I am sorry!"
After bowing, Lu Yan didn't dare to look at Lu Wenshi again. She just stood up, clenched her fists, and finally turned around and left.
Lu Wenshi stood in the cell, watching the figure disappearing outside the cell. He wanted to walk back to the bed, but just as he took a step, he staggered violently and almost fell to the ground.
Almost holding on to the wall, Lu Wenshi walked back to the corner. He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and recalled the scene when Grand Master Lu was dying.
At that time, he had thousands of resentments in his heart and countless words of accusation, but looking at the expression on Master Lu's face, he ultimately did not utter a single word.
He just knelt down and kowtowed to Grand Tutor Lu, just like Lu Yan had done just now.
He had heard people say before that the relationship between father and son, or father and daughter, was a debt owed in the previous life, which needed to be repaid in this life.
If this is true, then everything he owed in his previous life should have been repaid now.
The moonlight was dim, pouring down from the small window high up in the cell, shining on the ground, like frost or silver snow.
The road ahead is uncertain, but we have to endure it all.
……
The garden banquet was scheduled for the 13th day of the first lunar month.
Three princesses attended together, and so many young men from noble families were invited. Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone could see that this was to choose a husband for the princesses.
In the past few days, Xiao Yue has been studying various makeup looks according to her memories from her previous life.
She had been bored before, so she studied natural makeup, thinking it would become popular in the imperial city. However, she did not expect that in the end, it was only a short-lived attraction and was not actually liked by the officials' wives.
Later she realized that for the wives of officials and concubines, makeup not only had to look good, but also symbolized status and the degree of mutual respect.
In the final analysis, makeup should fit your identity.
As a princess, she also has to dress elegantly and nobly, especially at garden parties, to highlight her status and demeanor, and she must not lose to others.
However, Xiao Yue felt unsatisfied no matter how she painted, so she finally asked someone to find a palace maid who was good at makeup.
"Princess, the painting is done. Do you like it?" After the palace maid who was doing her makeup put the last hairpin on Xiao Yue's head, she stood aside respectfully.
Xiao Yue looked at the mirror in front of her and carefully examined herself in the mirror.
Her skin was as white and delicate as a newly blossomed lotus, with a hint of powder on it. Her eyebrows were as slender and long as distant mountains in spring, and her eyes were like autumn water. Her eyelids were lightly smudged with fine gold powder, like clouds flowing in the sky.
She has a straight nose, red lips, and an intricate and gorgeous flower ornament on her forehead, inlaid with gold foil and pearls. Her black hair is tied into a bun, and her hair is adorned with gold and pearl hairpins, each of which is inlaid with precious gems, making her look elegant and dazzling.
Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong on the side both started to praise.
"Princess, you are so beautiful."
"That's right, the princess is born with a beautiful appearance. She is already very beautiful on a normal day. Now with this makeup and hair, she looks like a fairy from heaven."
Hearing the praise, Xiao Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
It is true that Buddha relies on gold and horse relies on saddle. Dressed like this to attend the garden banquet, she will definitely be the most eye-catching.
With a satisfied look at the maid who was in charge of dressing, Xiao Yue said, "Continue to pick a dress for this princess. Remember, it must match this makeup and hair."
"I obey your command!" The palace maid responded immediately and soon followed Qiaorong to choose clothes.
The dress finally chosen was a bright red long dress embroidered with flowers. The hem of the dress was covered with large patches of flowers embroidered with gold thread, which was very gorgeous.
This was the most luxurious dress of all Xiao Yue's. When the palace maid and Qiao Rong came back with a group of people, Qiao Fu looked at them and couldn't help but frowned slightly, and spoke to Xiao Yue cautiously.
"Princess, isn't this a little too gorgeous?"
The princess's makeup is already very luxurious. If she were to wear a luxurious dress, it might be a bit too ostentatious.
Before Xiao Yue could speak, the maid in charge of dressing her up said hurriedly, "How could that be? The princess is of noble status, and no matter how gorgeous her dress is, it is just an embellishment for her. Besides, the princess's makeup today must be matched with such a bright and elegant dress. Wearing this dress, let alone comparing with the Sixth Princess and the Eighth Princess, even if all the women in the entire imperial city stood together, the princess would definitely be the most eye-catching one."
