Chapter 256 The most talented woman
"I've heard about it too. It seems that Mr. Liu entered the palace last night and met with the emperor. It seems that he asked the emperor to grant a marriage and make Liu Yanran the concubine of the King of Banquets. There are many boys in the Liu family, and only a daughter like Liu Yanran is the only one in the Liu family. If someone loves her so much, how could he just watch her die?"
"Yes, this Liu Yanran is really infatuated with King Yan. Ever since she met King Yan three years ago, she has been obsessed with him and has been obsessed with him. From a young girl, she almost became an old girl..." "Now You should be able to get what you want, right? Tonight, the emperor should read out the imperial edict of marriage..." Yun Luan sat in the carriage, slowly pursed her lips, and was silent. There was no emotion in her heart. Waves. As far as she is concerned, she and Xiao Tingyan are collaborators, so how many concubines he accepts and how many women he accepts into the house are all his business. She did not get out of the car immediately and waited until the discussions outside slowly subsided. , everyone entered the palace, and she opened the curtain and got out of the car. She was almost the last one to enter the palace banquet. The palace banquet was placed in the main hall, with men and women separated by a long screen. When she stepped into the main hall, the eunuch guarding the door glanced at her and quickly shouted into the hall. "The Lord of Taiping County has arrived..." The originally noisy hall fell into silence. Countless glances, They all swept towards Yun Luan. Yun Luan remained calm and looked calm. Under the guidance of the palace maid, he found his place. Although the palace banquet had not officially started, all the concubines in the harem, except the queen and Zhao Guifei, came over. The one with the highest status here is Concubine Shu. She was sitting on the second level. She glanced at Yun Luan and coughed softly. She wanted to attract Yun Luan's attention and let Yun Luan come and salute her. After all, she was the concubine with the highest status at the banquet. Unexpectedly, Yun Luan didn't even look at her, and sat down directly without even looking at her. She didn't even have the slightest intention of greeting her... Concubine Shu's expression changed. Shen, a hint of displeasure flashed through her eyes. She turned her head and looked at a young woman sitting next to her and said: "Yanran, this Taiping County Master is really extremely arrogant. I am a noble concubine, but she didn't come to tell me." Palace salute? "
This young woman is none other than Liu Yanran, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Industry and Commerce. She is also the woman who fought for Xiao Tingyan and wanted to marry him as his concubine. Liu Yanran was born with a beautiful face. , she was wearing a moon-white gauze dress embroidered with lilies. The clothes were exquisite and elegant, her whole person was floating in the sky, and her temperament was noble. She was a well-deserved lady of a noble family, a noble lady. Her beautiful eyes rolled around. Looking at Yun Luan, a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes. She had never expected that Yun Luan was so beautiful. She thought her appearance was one of the best in the entire Kyoto. However, compared with Yun Luan, she couldn't explain why. She always felt that she was inferior. Liu Yanran tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and there was a hint of darkness in her eyes. "Auntie, please calm down... Maybe the county master rarely enters the palace, so he doesn't understand the rules of the palace." I'll go say hello to her first, so as not to lose the etiquette of our Liu family..." Concubine Shu couldn't see what her niece was thinking. She held the handkerchief and held the Bu Yao in her hair. "Yanran , if my aunt's guess is correct, you should want to explore the enemy's situation first, right? You have liked King Yan for so long, but you don't want to be beaten by Yun Luan, you have long been annoyed with her, right?"
Liu Yanran curled her lips and smiled in a low voice. There was a coldness in her eyes that disappeared in an instant. "Aunt, there are some things that you can't tell if you see through them. I originally thought that one day I would marry the King of Banquets as his wife and become his Banquet King. Princess. Who would have thought that she would actually get ahead of me... She used to be obsessed with Prince Rui and chased after Prince Rui. Prince Rui didn't want her, so she turned around and decided to marry Prince Rui."
"How can a woman like her, who is half-hearted and wanton, be worthy of the King of Banquet? If my father hadn't always disagreed, I would have been the Princess of Yan. It's pitiful that I've been waiting in vain for so many years, and someone actually interfered with me. Aunt, you Say, if you were me, wouldn’t you feel resentment or hatred in your heart?”
Concubine Shu gently patted the back of Liu Yanran's hand with a bit of pity. "Okay, don't be angry. Your father didn't agree before. It was just because he didn't want to be implicated by the King of Banquets. It's not like you don't You know, because of the one hundred thousand soldiers in the North, His Majesty has always been afraid of King Yan."
"In addition, the King of Yan is frail and sick, Yanran, he is really not a good man worthy of being entrusted with his life. Your father is against it, and it is all for your own good..." Liu Yanran's eyes turned red, she bit her lip, and choked up. The voice replied: "You always have various reasons and excuses, but I don't care about these. I only know that I like King Yan, and I will marry him and become his wife."
"If I can't marry him in this life, I would rather die. This will save me from being depressed and miserable for the rest of my life."
Concubine Shu looked at the paranoia in Liu Yanran's eyes, and she sighed helplessly. The Liu family has few daughters, and Yanran is the only girl in Yanran's generation. The Liu family originally planned to keep Yanran for a few more years, until the emperor confirmed his decision. When the prince was selected, Yanran was married to the prince and became the new emperor's concubine like her. But who would have thought that this girl did not like these princes who could sit on the throne, but fell in love with Xiao Tingyan, the emperor's uncle, at first sight. "That's it, you Now that you are older, your father and I can no longer be your masters. In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you can win the favor of King Yan and persuade him to submit to which prince and assist him in his rise to power, that would be a good choice. "
Concubine Shu retreated and said the next best thing. Liu Yanran pursed her lips and smiled lightly. "I think so too... Aunt, with my talent, I think the King of Banquet will definitely like me."
Concubine Shu's eyes flashed with pride: "That's right, our Yanran is the most talented girl in the Southern Prince. No matter how high the King's vision is, you are more than enough to match him."
