As Yang Ning entered the Guo residence, a hushed anticipation filled the air. Lady Guo and Madam Liu followed closely, heightening the intrigue surrounding the rumored Crown Princess. The awaiting ladies, eager for a glimpse, rose to catch sight of the procession.
Their curiosity turned to astonishment as they beheld Yang Ning, draped in a peach dress adorned with a sky-blue robe. The dress, with its golden and silver thread embroidery and delicate golden gems, emanated an understated elegance and class.
Far from being flashy or garish, it exuded a refined charm. Even her choice of jewelry was minimalist, in stark contrast to the opulent golden and expensive gemstone pieces worn by the other ladies, seemingly flaunting their husbands' wealth and prestige. Yet, in this simplicity, Yang Ning shone the brightest, radiating a captivating aura that set her apart from the rest.
