Princess Longzhu only made her appearance after nearly all the other guests had arrived.
She took off her wide cloak, revealing a slender figure. Her red skirt was embroidered with golden thread in the pattern of Xiliang's most famous Moonflowers, and a shimmering golden chain was wrapped around her waist.
Unlike the women of Great Zhou, she did not style her hair into a complex coiffure.
Her long, wavy, deep-brown hair cascaded down her back, with a chain of golden beads woven through it. A brilliant red ruby dangled between her eyebrows.
This, combined with her deep-set features and jade-green eyes...
...created an exotic and alluring charm.
Hua Manman had to admit that she was indeed a rare beauty.
No wonder she was called the Desert Pearl.
She whispered to the man beside her.
"I think Princess Longzhu is quite pretty."
Li Ji had only glanced at Princess Longzhu the moment she appeared, paying her no mind afterward.
