Chapter 78 Competition (2/2)
“Really?If so, I’m still qualified to be Nian’er’s older sister?Having such a sister like you, older sister is very proud!I really envy Lan Mo Xian!” As Hua Mu Qing finished, she even glared at Lan Mo Xian, making Lan Mo Xian feel entirely innocent.
“Nian’er meimei and older sister’s feelings, how can one use worthy or not worthy to measure?The feelings between sisters are only dependent on the heart!” Lan You Nian smiled.
“En!I Hua Mu Qing’s sister is indeed different.In the future, as long as there is I Hua Mu Qing one day, I will definitely protect younger sister you!” Hua Mu Qing declared, seemingly like she was making a vow.This was precisely what Hua Mu Qing really did in the future, and this friendship was like the vow of today.
The men’s side started to discuss Lan You Nian and An Si Yan’s contest result.Although second wangye and others tried to say An Si Yan’s talent was better, many eyes were looking.There was even the capital’s gifted scholar Jing Wu An’s personal praise.What made second wangye couldn’t figure out was that even fourth wangye and Ming wang all inserted themselves into the discussion.So, he can only report as it was.
“An manor’s An young miss and Lan manor’s third young miss’s talent contest, Lan third young miss won!” Second wangye said dully.
“Truly deserved!Nian’er meimei’s poem, even this heir does not dare to say he can surpass!” Jing Wu An praised to Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang.
“Mo Xian, what do you think Nian’er meimei has gone through all these years?How could she be so smart?Nian’er meimei’s indifference makes people’s heart ache for her, this…” He Chu Yang did not evade Jing Wu An as he directly lamented to Lan Mo Xian
“I don’t know either.Nian’er meimei never speaks of the past, but it can’t have been any good.Otherwise, how can a girl of the boudoir need to go on stage at Zhen Wei Pavilion?” Lan Mo Xian also wanted to know, but he simply cannot find anything out about Lan You Nian’s past.
“The past is in the past, why must you torment yourself with the past?In the future you two good older brothers only need to treat Nian’er meimei well, isn’t that good enough?No, there’s still this brother, I!” Jing Wu An grinned.If it weren’t for the fact that Lan You Nian was a girl, he would definitely drink a few cups with Lan You Nian as they discuss life.Such a woman was rare to find.
“How is Lan third young miss going to punish Si Yan?” The Empress sitting up top spoke, but the partiality towards An Si Yan was easy to hear from her words.After all, An Si Yan was the Empress’s own niece.
“This…this lady can’t think of anything.How about let everyone think up one?” Lan You Nian kicked this troublesome ball out of her court.After all, under such circumstances, if An Si Yan won, punishing her (LYN) was easy, but if she turned it around to make things difficult for An Si Yan, it wasn’t favorable for her (LYN).Since it was so, let others deal with it!
“Since Nian’er meimei can’t think of it, how about allow this junzhu say it?” Hua Mu Qing seeing the eldest princess was ready to speak, she hurried to block her.This An Si Yan actually dared to bully Nian’er meimei, she Hua Mu Qing was not afraid.
“This…” second wangye was ready to intervene.
“This wangye feels junzhu makes the decision is a good idea.Does anyone else have a different opinion?” Feng Xia Qi stood up, obviously helping Hua Mu Qing.In fact, everyone wanted to help Lan You Nian vent.Besides, Feng Xia Qi was afraid if he didn’t help Lan You Nian vent, this younger brother of his will directly strike out.
Everyone agreed, and Hua Mu Qing smirked smugly at An Si Ya, “How about punish An eldest miss by practicing some dog yelps!”
“Mu Qing junzhu, you go too far!” An Si Yan shouted at Hua Mu Qing in a fury.
“How is this junzhu going too far?The one who wanted to compete was you, the one who lost is you.If you can’t afford to play, then don’t play.An eldest miss is going back on your own words!” Hua Mu Qing attacked back.She Hua Mu Qing was not without a brain and scheme.She simply did not use it against her own friends.
“You…” An Si Yan wanted to refute but couldn’t deny anything.The empress sitting above did not speak for An Si Yan again.
“This young master also feels junzhu’s proposal is pretty good.It’s just making a few dog barks, there is nothing making things difficult for An eldest miss!” Lan Mo Xian also spoke.His little sister can’t be bullied just by anyone.
An Si Yan wanted to deny it but second wangye sinisterly stared at An Yi Yan.That look made An Yi Yan aware she must accept the punishment.If she refused, then it was not keeping her word, it lost her own face, and also lost Prime Minister Manor’s face.
“Woof!Woof woof!” An Si Yan made dog sounds as her neck flushed red, causing everyone to laugh out loud.An Si Yan burst into tears and ran out of the garden.It seemed her self-esteem has taken a hit.
“Follow and watch her!” Empress ordered the palace maid standing beside her to go chase after An Si Yan.Her eyes drifted to Lan You Nian and Hua Mu Qing.
“Hahaha!Nian’er meimei, sister I helped you vent, do you feel better?” Hua Mu Qing grinned from ear to ear.
“Mu Qing jiejie really can think of ideas, but, in the future, don’t randomly offend people.This woman’s capability of bearing a grudge is really frightening!”
“I know, but I just don’t like her.Besides, bully my little sister, of course I must take revenge!”
Lan You Nian smiled slightly but didn’t speak.Having such a friend who she can rely on, it was really nice.
