”Why would I lie to you? Even Lian Wan Yin and Lian Sheng Ru can go, but I can't.” Lian Shi Ya was so angry that her face turned red.
”Old Madame must have had a heart of steel … …” Auntie Xiao also never thought that her mother would actually refuse to bring her at such an important banquet, given how much she had loved Lian Shi Ya in the past.
”Mother …” ”I feel wronged, now Grandmother only thinks of Lian Si Yue, and the good things in the past were always done by me, but now look at her, she actually resents me losing face.”
”Mother, I don't care. Please help me beg Father. Grandmother won't allow me to go. Lian Shi Ya was anxious to go. Other than thinking that this was a chance to turn the tables on Lian Si Yue, the most important thing was that she would definitely be able to see the Eight Prince Feng Ye in the Princess Anguo Mansion.
”Don't be in such a hurry, I'll go beg your father right now. I'll definitely let you go.” Finally, the Auntie Xiao comforted her.
That night.
When Lian Yan Qing walked into the room of the Auntie Xiao, she saw the Auntie Xiao's back was facing him, and was lowering her head to do something. She was wearing a snow-green robe, and under the flickering candlelight, she seemed a little more pitiful.
Auntie Xiao was naturally beautiful, and even though she was over thirty years old, her figure was similar to a young girl. Her hands were soft like pancreas, her skin was firm like cream, and her willow waist wasn't in her grasp.
He signaled for the servant and the night watchman to retreat, then walked behind Auntie Xiao and held onto her shoulders with both hands — —
”Xian Min.”
Auntie Xiao acted as if she was shocked and immediately turned around. Her navy robe fell off her hands and the cloth on her shoulders dropped to the ground, revealing her tender shoulders, ”Master, you're here.”
”What are you busy with? You didn't notice me when I came in.” Lian Yan Qing caressed her exposed skin and asked.
Auntie Xiao turned around and blinked her charming eyes, as if she was lost in some distant reverie, and said, ”These few days, I always remember the time when I first met my master. At that time, my master was wearing a blue colored gown, standing tall and straight like my god, and at that moment, I knew that I would never be able to escape his grasp in this life, I really missed the time when he was writing poems. But unfortunately, I'm afraid we will never be able to return to the past. ”
Saying that, Auntie Xiao's eyes revealed a hint of bitterness.
”It would seem that Xian Min is against me.” Lian Yan Qing said as she saw her eyes.
”No, humble concubine doesn't dare.” Hearing that, Auntie Xiao immediately kneeled down, bowed in front of him, and said, ”My humble concubine, my humble concubine is just a little worried about Third Miss.”
”Ya Er? What happened to her? ” Unlike the other concubines' children, Lian Shi Ya was raised by a wet nurse. She was raised by Auntie Xiao herself, and Lian Yan Qing often came to Qing Quan Yuan Yuan to watch Lian Shi Ya grow up.
Auntie Xiao raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she said, ”Master, you know, Ya Er is a concubine's child, she cannot be on the stage to begin with. If he lost your care and love, she would have nothing, she is not willing to fight, but I … But you can't be at ease. If she is to live in hardship in the future, how can I be at ease? ”
”Xian Min, what happened?” Say it clearly. ” Lian Yan Qing frowned slightly.
Auntie Xiao seemed to struggle for a while before finally speaking, ”Princess Anguo sent a notice asking Old Madame to lead the sisters in the mansion to admire the chrysanthemum. Naturally, Eldest Miss would bring them along, Fourth and Seventh Miss also went along. But the old Madame didn't plan to bring her along … ”
”Mother must have thought it over before making her decision.” Lian Yan Qing said.
”This lowly concubine knows, this lowly concubine absolutely does not dare to be dissatisfied with Old Madame's determination, but … It's just that I really pity Ya Er … She knew that she did not like the fact that she had angered Master Old Mistress and, but... Master... You promised me before, that you would protect Ya Er well in this lifetime, that she would be rich and prosperous in this lifetime, that she wouldn't suffer any grievances. With so many people watching Princess Anguo's banquet, if Ya Er did not go, who knows what kind of gossip the bystanders would gossip about. How can she lift her head up high in the future? ” As Auntie Xiao spoke, her face became paler and paler, her tone became weaker and weaker, as though she would faint at any moment.
Lian Yan Qing bent over and helped the weak and tender person who was kneeling on the ground to stand up, then said, ”Forget it, don't be sad over this. Ya Er will go to Princess Mansion's chrysanthemum appreciation feast.”
… ….
”Really?” One moment Lian Shi Ya was lying on the bed, depressed and unhappy, the next moment she heard the Auntie Xiao's words, she immediately sat up with a face full of excitement.
Auntie Xiao nodded with a smile, ”Of course, your father has already agreed. You can participate in the banquet with him.”
”That's great, Mother.” All of the haze that Lian Shi Ya had these days was swept away as she began to imagine the scene of meeting with the Eight Prince Feng s in her mind. She must display her most beautiful appearance in front of him, and make his heart move towards her.
However...
”Mother, Lian Si Yue has good stuff from Grandmother, I want it too.”
