"Concubine Shu always said that the Imperial Master has determined that the sixth lady of the Yan family, who has the fate of being a Crown Princess, must be the one who can truly take over the East Palace." A girl with bright eyes and white teeth said to Yan Shuangyu with her eyes blinking.
.
The girl's name is Feng Dai'er, she is the niece of Concubine Shu. Her family has always wanted her to enter the palace, so she has been cultivating various talents and skills since she was a child. Now she is sixteen years old and has been waiting for the selection of the Crown Princess, but for some unknown reason
, at a banquet, I met Yan Shuangyu, who had not attended the banquet for a century, and unexpectedly took the initiative to get close to her and became best friends.
Yan Shuangyu passively became her best friend, but she never went to Feng's house once. Instead, Feng Daier came to talk to her every now and then.
"The Imperial Master has never said that. If Sister Feng has the opportunity to enter the palace, remember to clarify it with Concubine Shu." Miss Sixth smiled gently, and her eyes turned from Feng Dai'er back to the red red in her hand.
She has a calm temperament, so she is an excellent female beauty.
Feng Dai'er only felt that her fist hit the cotton like this. It didn't hurt or itch, but there was also a feeling of excessive force, which was a bit distracting.
"Sister Shuang'er, you are already fourteen this year. Do you think you have no idea?" Feng Dai'er didn't believe it. "Even if you haven't thought about it, your family hasn't planned anything for you?"
"Even if the family discusses this kind of thing, they won't tell me!" Miss Six just smiled lightly, "Our daughter's family just listens to the family."
"No way!" Feng Daier rolled her eyes secretly. The matter of the fifth lady of the Yan family was spreading all over the capital, so when she got along with the sixth lady, she was naturally much more casual, even though she felt that the young lady of the Yan family was nothing more than that.
In this way, after being bullied to that extent, they could still tolerate it, but the Yan family actually chose to stand by and watch. The so-called famous family was nothing more than that.
Miss Six smiled lightly and said, "Sister Feng, you are two years older than me, so logically you should get engaged!"
Feng Daier froze, then smiled and said: "There are quite a few people proposing marriage. My elders are... still reluctant to let me go!"
Miss Six followed and smiled.
This is the difference between real best friends and fake best friends. She, Feng Daier, thought that being a princess would not last for a day or two. It could be said that everyone in this circle in the capital knew about it, but for such a public matter, she had to do it.
Being secretive in front of her, would a true bestie do this?
Therefore, it's not that Miss Six doesn't understand etiquette, she just doesn't want to get close to Feng Dai'er, she really doesn't want to.
She always has an excuse to refuse Feng Daier's invitation, such as...
"Oh, by the way, for my birthday next month, I will invite a few friends to my home. You are my best sister, so you must come then!" Feng Daier thought about whether there was a big or small banquet at home,
Yan Shuangyu refused to go no matter when he was invited. If he couldn't invite her for his sixteenth birthday this time, he would become a laughing stock in the circle.
"I was supposed to go there for Sister Feng's birthday, but a few days ago I made a promise in front of my grandmother that I would pray for my grandparents at Jingci Nunnery next month. It will take about half a month." Miss Liu was glad that she had the time to go to Jingci Temple.
Prayers at Ci'an, it would not be rude to refuse like this.
Feng Daier's face was full of displeasure, but when Yan Shuangyu brought out Mrs. Yan, she didn't dare to say a word of fault.
"This... is such an unlucky thing," she could only laugh dryly, "There is nothing we can do about it."
After coming out of Yan's house, Feng Daier looked in the direction of Miyagi City and sighed deeply.
Your Highness, when will you start choosing your concubine?
As long as you confirm whether it's her or not, I can decide whether or not I should always press my hot face against her cold one in the future...then what the hell!
How could Feng Daier not know Yan Shuangyu's indifference to her, but Yan Shuangyu was the most likely woman in the world to become the crown princess, so she couldn't be careless.
Feng Dai'er, who was in a bad mood, even complained about her aunt. If Empress Shu had not always given explicit hints, she would not have become more and more attracted to the prince.
Now that her thoughts are known to the whole world, there is still no news from the prince. If by then she doesn't talk about the princess and all the concubines are rejected, then she will not be able to show her face to others, and she will just wipe her neck or hang herself!
Miss Sixth had just seen off Feng Dai'er and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Qing walking over with a smile on her face.
"Is the person gone?" she asked.
After holding it in all afternoon, Miss Six suddenly felt some real emotions: "Didn't Sister Seven come here after seeing her leave?"
Yan Qingzheng's eyes lit up. She liked cheerful women the most, but Miss Six's unkind attitude made her feel extremely intimate.
"Good sister, isn't it more convenient for me to come forward than you...otherwise I would have come to save you." Yan Qing couldn't help but stepped forward and hooked Miss Sixth's arm, feeling her unnatural stiffness for a moment.
.
Apparently she wasn't familiar with this kind of intimacy either.
"Forget it," Miss Six sighed quietly and said, "She is a little older, so it is normal for her to be a little anxious."
In fact, Feng Dai'er can be considered a pitiful person. Just as she thought, if she couldn't even find the crown prince's concubine, there would be no decent person in the capital who would marry her home.
"I really don't know what the emperor is thinking. After all, it's too late for the prince to choose a princess at the age of nineteen. No wonder all the girls in the capital are stretching their necks and waiting. There are many who are supposed to get married in the past two years.
For such an opportunity, I have pushed and pushed again and again." Yan Qing was thinking that the father and son were really not honest in what they did.
Miss Sixth smiled and said, "I guess I'm just spoiled for choice."
Yan Qing was covering her mouth with a smile. The word "Crown Princess" was a hot potato for the Yan family sisters. They both avoided it. The only difference was that Yan Qing was walking out and Yan Shuangyu
not yet.
"How often does this Miss Feng come here?"
"It comes about once every two months, and the next post is also every two months."
"Then the sixth sister never went to an appointment?"
"I have such a reputation and I provoked her once I went out. How can I dare to go out again?"
Yan Qing was looking at Miss Sixth's slightly bitter smile, feeling a little sad in her heart.
"Actually, Sixth Sister is not doing this because of her status, but because she is afraid that others will stumble upon you."
How many people would be jealous of Yan Shuangyu who has the title of Crown Princess? Since she has not been selected yet, if she had other bad reputations before becoming the Crown Princess... wouldn't it solve the world?
Is it a big worry for many women?
This is also the biggest reason why Yan Shuangyu dare not go out easily.
Whether it was the Black Heart Faction who wanted her dead or the Lucky Faction who wanted her reputation to be disgraced, Yan Shuangyu didn't want to fulfill their wishes. Although she didn't want to be a princess, she had the choice not to, and because of her reputation
If you lose your qualifications due to problems and can’t do it, that’s a huge difference!
Yan Shuangyu felt a little moved in her heart. She didn't expect that the person who knew her best was the sister she hadn't seen for eight years.
"It's always right to be careful. In the past few years, even at home, I haven't been able to feel completely at ease, let alone when going out." Yan Shuangyu's words were full of the loneliness of not being able to go out. At her average age, she didn't want to
She makes friends and sees the mountains, rivers, famous buildings and historic sites, but she needs layers of protection every time she goes out, which is really troublesome.
Except for going to Jingci Temple, where the Queen Mother's tablet is enshrined, no one dares to make trouble there.
Therefore, since she was a child, the furthest distance she went out was Jingci Temple, and the scenery along the way was one of the few things she could see.
While the two sisters were chatting, Yun'er came over and said that the concubine would hold a banquet in the imperial garden in seven days, and would invite all the official ladies in the capital who were above thirteen and below eighteen who had not left the government to enjoy the flowers.
"The concubine has held a flower viewing party every year in this season for the past few years. It's a coincidence that Seventh Sister is coming back this time. You should make preparations early." Miss Sixth heard this and said with a smile.
"Isn't it seven days from now? What preparations should I make in advance?"
"The banquet in seven days is also a time when many ladies are vying for beauty. They have to start organizing the new clothes and jewelry they need. You have never participated in it before, so you need to prepare early. After all, other women have already made preparations in the past few years. About time
It’s almost ready, everything is ready.”
"I don't need to prepare." Yan Qing shrugged, "I'm not like them who haven't yet been engaged."
Yan Shuangyu was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled: "At this time, your marriage has become a talisman."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "Yes, getting engaged has this advantage."
Yan Shuangyu took the post and it said that Miss Yan's family was invited to the banquet, but she did not specify who it was. However, the post sent this year was destined to have someone who would enter the palace with it. In previous years, she would not go.
.
"Sixth sister, do you want to go?"
Yan Shuangyu slowly shook his head: "I have long passed the age where I can act willfully. When I was young and ignorant, I could freely ask my family to do what I wanted even if it was difficult. But now that I am so old, how can I still do it?
Being so willful... I'm used to it anyway."
Yan Qing was deeply stimulated. A girl in her prime was trapped in a small place by a rumor all day long, and she didn't even have a friend...
"Sixth sister, do you believe me?"
"Why do you mean what Seventh Sister said? Why can't I believe you?"
"Then Sixth Sister, just feel free to prepare for the banquet and dress up. I will be responsible for your safety and reputation!" Yan Qing was patting her chest.
The corners of Yan Shuangyu's eyes were slightly moist, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay..."
She didn't know how powerful Yan Qingzheng was, but she heard her third aunt say that Yan Qingzheng was at least as good as her.
She knew how powerful Nalan Lianyue was, so she believed in him.
Is it really possible to attend the concubine’s flower viewing party?
Yan Shuangyu suddenly felt a little distracted. At only fourteen years old, she was full of curiosity about the world, the royal garden of the palace, the concubine, and other girls. However, she was suppressed.
After all these years, do you really not want to go?
No!
She wanted to go, she really wanted to go, she wanted to stand among many peers and chat, even if it was just to sit quietly and be celebrities together, she wanted to have companions and friends...
As the fifth young lady got married, there were no other girls in the Yan family. She sat alone all day, and no one could understand the bitterness and loneliness in her heart.
Now, can she really stand openly in front of people?
