Chapter Fifteen: Participating in the Jiji Ceremony
Xin Nianyan also happened to come, she was supported by Xiaozhu.
Seeing Xin Rouer and her daughter, they just nodded lightly as a greeting.
"Miss, are you cold? Maybe you should put on some extra clothes." Xiaozhu said worriedly.
"Ahem." Xin Nianyan coughed twice, shook his head slightly, and said in a weak voice: "It's okay, I've already worn a lot of clothes."
She was still the same as yesterday. She put white powder on her face to make her face look very pale, but she also put some rouge on her cheeks, as if she was deliberately trying to hide her pale face and didn't want to be seen as worried.
She was also wearing a simple light-colored dress and short coat, tightly wrapped up, unlike Xin Rou'er who didn't even wear a coat in order to look good, so she put on a cloak.
There was gauze wrapped around his forehead, and he put on a cape so as not to be seen.
Such a comparison between the two makes Xin Nianyan look weak and pitiful, while Xin Rouer's face is glowing red.
Seeing Xin Nianyan like this, Xin Rouer sneered in her heart.
She was so ugly even though she was specially dressed up. How could Xin Nianyan compare with her?
Yes, Xin Nianyan's appearance seemed to Xin Rou'er to be specially dressed up.
Of course, it was indeed Xin Nianyan who had specially "dressed up" her.
"Sister, are you going to attend Miss Chen's haircut ceremony? Didn't my father ask my sister to recuperate in the hospital?" Xin Rouer reminded her deliberately.
The so-called recuperation is reflection, and Xin Yuanwen said that without him, Xin Nianyan was not allowed to go anywhere. If Xin Nianyan went out at this time, he was disobeying Xin Yuanwen's order.
Xin Nianyan pulled her lips and smiled and said weakly: "Cousin Jinyan and Ji, as a cousin, how can I not go? If my father blames me, I will have to suffer."
"Hahaha, sister, don't worry, I believe my father will understand my sister." Xin Rouer chuckled.
He said this, but in his heart he wished that Xin Yuanwen would be angry because of this matter and punish Xin Nianyan.
Xin Nianyan said nothing and walked out.
Xin Rouer hurriedly followed.
She didn't forget that the Crown Prince came to pick her up. She originally wanted to show off to Xin Nianyan when she came back, but now she just showed off in front of her.
The more Xin Rouer thought about it, the more proud she became. When she left the palace, she saw the luxurious carriage belonging to the prince, and Qin Yan was standing beside the carriage.
"Your Highness~" Xin Rouer took the lead and called out sweetly.
Qin Yan was a little startled when he saw the two of them coming out together.
However, he just nodded slightly to Xin Rou'er, then came to Xin Nianyan and said warmly: "Yan'er feels better today?"
Xin Nianyan glanced at Xin Rou'er calmly and saw that her face was stiff, then she nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's better."
"That's good. It's windy outside, so hurry up and get in the car."
Qin Yan said that he was about to help her get into the car, but Xin Nianyan avoided his hand and refused: "I am very happy that Your Highness can come to pick me up, but although you and I are engaged, we are not married yet, so we are sitting in the same car.
The carriage is really not suitable. I have asked my servant to prepare a carriage, so I won’t get into His Highness’s carriage, but we can go together.”
As she spoke, she smiled and walked towards her carriage.
Qin Yan's hands froze in mid-air, looking at her back a little annoyed.
Xin Rouer's face on the side was already extremely ugly.
So His Highness is not here to pick her up?
Then she has been happy for so long, doesn't she look like a fool?
And because Qin Yan came to pick her up, she didn't ask anyone to prepare a car.
No, His Highness must have come to pick her up, but because he saw Xin Nianyan, he had to pretend to ask Xin Nianyan if they were engaged.
Thinking this way, Xin Rouer's face became a little better.
She stepped forward and said softly: "Your Highness, my sister seems unwilling to take His Highness's car. Since my sister has prepared her own car, let's not force it."
Qin Yan glanced at her, hummed slightly, turned around and got in the car.
Xin Rouer was overjoyed and hurriedly wanted to follow her.
Zhang Yunhui quickly grabbed her: "Rou'er."
Xin Rouer paused and frowned: "Mother, why are you pulling me?"
Zhang Yunhui said displeasedly: "Rou'er, you can't be with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Why?" Xin Rouer was puzzled.
The prince is here to pick her up. He will definitely be angry if she doesn't go.
Zhang Yunhui was really helpless when she saw her like this: "Rou'er, you are a young lady sitting in the same car with a man. What will others think when they see you?"
"And this person is still Xin Nianyan's fiancé. There are rumors outside that you seduced your sister's fiancé. Now that you are getting into the prince's car, aren't you confirming this rumor and letting others poke your spine?"
Xin Rouer hesitated.
Of course she wanted to confirm this rumor, so that maybe the prince would marry her instead.
But...as her mother said, she was also afraid of ruining her reputation as a young lady.
Moreover, as soon as they said these two sentences, the prince actually asked the driver to start the carriage, without any intention of waiting for her.
Xin Rouer was dumbfounded.
So the prince really didn't come to pick her up?
Is it really her own fault for being so naive?
"Okay, Rou'er, stop thinking about it and get in mother's car first."
Xin Rouer was pulled into her carriage by Zhang Yunhui.
Xin Nianyan, who was in the car in front, couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.
Xin Rouer is really stupid. She was able to do what she did in her previous life only because Zhang Yunhui gave her advice.
I hope Zhang Yunhui can still give her advice in this life.
The capital is very big, and even if we live in a luxurious street, it still takes three-quarters of an hour to walk from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Duke's Mansion.
The carriage stopped and Xin Nianyan got out of the car with the help of Xiaozhu. The butler who greeted the guests outside saw it and hurriedly asked the boy to go in and inform the owner. He himself invited Xin Nianyan and Qin Yan who came down with him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, my cousin, please come inside."
Other guests who were about to go inside saw them and gave way.
Before Xin Nianyan could reach the second door, Chen Jinyan and Chen Jinge came out quickly.
"Cousin, you are here."
The two of them had big smiles on their faces, but their smiles froze when they saw Qin Yan next to Xin Nianyan.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too." The smile on Chen Jinyan's face faded a bit. Although she was not happy in her heart, she still had to be respectful.
Qin Yan nodded lightly: "Well, I went to pick up Yan'er and came with him."
Xin Rouer, who was following behind, heard this and became even more angry.
Of course it was Xin Nianyan who was angry.
She gritted her teeth, squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand tightly, and looked at Xin Nianyan with hatred in her eyes.
Zhang Yunhui hurriedly grabbed her hand and told her to calm down. This was the Duke's Mansion, Xin Nianyan's biggest supporter.
"Your Highness, please come inside." Chen Jinge politely welcomed the person in.
