Chapter 725 Focus
Ni'er thought to herself: I can use this grand birthday banquet to show everyone my close relationship with the Queen Mother and let everyone know that she has such a powerful backer like the Queen Mother.
Not only that, he would also have military merits, which would add a lot of glory.
Together with his two hardworking and ambitious younger brothers, I believe he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital and carve out a world of his own.
Thinking of this, Nier's mood gradually calmed down, and she realized that this was exactly what she had always expected.
Although she is used to keeping a low profile on weekdays, she occasionally needs to be high-profile to let others see her strength and value.
Nier was full of gratitude to the princess.
The princess even forgot her own birthday, but she still took so much trouble to think about her.
This friendship warmed Nier's heart, and she said sincerely, "Thank you, Princess."
The princess took Nier's hand and said, "Why should we even say thank you? We are like sisters, and this is what we should do."
"I will pick you and your family up a day in advance. You don't need to prepare anything, just come."
Nier was deeply moved by the princess' words and readily agreed, "Okay! By the way, our restaurant has recently launched a new facial cream that's very effective. Would you like to try it?"
When the princess heard about the new cream, she immediately became interested. Her eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to say, "Really? I have to try it!"
After saying that, she ran upstairs.
Seeing this, Ni'er quickly shouted from behind: "Princess, slow down."
Recently, the entire capital city was in an uproar due to a piece of news - all the noble ladies received invitations from the palace!
This should have been a joyous thing. After all, being invited to a banquet in the palace was an unparalleled honor!
However, when these ladies opened the invitation and saw the contents, they were stunned.
It turned out that it was to celebrate the birthday of an unknown little girl!
What is even more surprising is that this birthday banquet was actually hosted by the Queen Mother herself!
This is truly unprecedented!
You know, the Queen Mother never held birthday banquets for the children of her ministers, not to mention that this little girl had no family background at all.
Although this little girl had saved the princess' life before, this was not enough for the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday in such a grand manner.
This made those noble ladies who always thought highly of themselves feel very uncomfortable.
They couldn't help but feel jealous, wondering how this little girl could be so confident as to be so favored by the Queen Mother.
The thought of celebrating the birthday of a person of such low status filled these noble ladies with hatred.
But after all, it was the Queen Mother's invitation, and they couldn't refuse directly, so they had to bite the bullet and attend.
Not only that, they also have to bring a carefully prepared gift, and when the time comes they will have to put on a smile and greet the little girl.
These days, Yan Zi has been working tirelessly to go back and forth between many fabric stores, carefully selecting and finally buying fabric that satisfies her.
She happily gave the fabrics to the tailors and asked them to make clothes for everyone in the family.
Not only that, Yan Zi also specially used the precious materials and treasures that the Queen Mother had previously rewarded to Ni'er to make a special set of clothes for Ni'er herself.
This is Yan Zi's painstaking work. She hopes that Ni'er can become the focus of everyone's attention at the birthday party.
When Nier saw the dress, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
The silk dress inlaid with sapphire, jadeite and pearls sparkled with the soft light of jewels, like stars in the night sky.
And that silver fox cloak gives people a feeling of nobility and elegance.
"My daughter, come and try it on. This is the dress prepared for your birthday party." Yan Zi called Ni'er gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
Nier took the clothes and gently stroked the soft fabric and the jewels on it.
"Mom, this is so beautiful!" Ni'er exclaimed, her voice revealing unconcealable joy and excitement.
Nier couldn't help but pick up the clothes, walked to the mirror, and tried them on herself.
"Do you think it will be too eye-catching?" Nier asked worriedly.
"Don't compare, just try it on. You have to wear the clothes on your body to see the effect." Yan Zi replied with a smile.
Nier walked quickly into the room and changed into the clothes.
When she came out again, she looked completely refreshed.
When Yan Zi saw Ni'er's expression, her eyes widened.
She exclaimed, "My daughter is so pretty, she must have taken after me."
Ni'er couldn't help but laugh after hearing this and said, "Hahaha, of course, mother, you are the most beautiful girl in Niujia Village. I think in this capital, there are not many people of your age who can compare to you."
Yan Zi was embarrassed by Ni Er's praise and her face turned red. She scolded, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, really."
After changing her clothes, Nier walked to the mirror and stared at herself in the mirror, as if she saw a complete stranger.
The gorgeous clothes made it almost impossible for her to believe that it was herself.
Yan Zi stood aside, holding the head ornaments and jewelry that she had selected in advance. These were all carefully prepared for Ni'er.
She gently placed each piece of jewelry on Nier's head, as if she was carving a precious work of art.
Nier had never worn so many jewelry before. She felt her neck suddenly become heavy and uncomfortable.
"Mom, this is too much. Please take some away." She couldn't help but shout.
However, Yan Zi did not listen to Ni'er's request.
She continued to insert the hairpins into Nier's bun, constantly adjusting their positions to ensure that each piece of jewelry could show its best effect.
"Not much, not at all," Yan Zi said. "You are the star of this banquet, and mother specially selected the best clothes, fabrics, and jewelry for you."
"As long as it's within the rules, you absolutely cannot let others overpower you. I even went to the retired maid in the palace to inquire about this matter."
Nier looked helplessly at herself in the mirror, who was becoming more and more gorgeous. Although she was not used to it, she also understood her mother's good intentions.
Ni'er could never have imagined that her mother would actually go to so much trouble to find out whether the clothes were in compliance with the regulations.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, you are really well prepared!"
Yan Zi stood aside, looking at Ni'er in the mirror.
Her hair was covered with jewels and looked radiant, but Yan Zi always felt that something was missing.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls from the jewelry box and gently inserted it into Nier's head.
In an instant, Ni'er became more beautiful and charming, as if a fairy had descended to earth.
