Happy Girl

Chapter 87 Her favorite daughter-in-law
Although she thought so, Lan Yan said: "Because of this, it is even more important to invite her, otherwise others will think that my daughter is jealous of her."

Wei Changxi made a sullen face and said, "You should have reminded your mother about this a long time ago. It's already the day of the banquet, so it's too inappropriate to post invitations now."

Lan Yan said: "That's the only way to forget it." After a pause, she laughed again: "However, she knows that I will entertain the prince today, so she might not be able to sit still. Most likely, she will run to the East Palace and bring the prince to the mansion together. .”

Soon past three quarters, several ladies from aristocratic families arrived one after another, but the prince had not yet arrived.

In the Xiaoyao hall, the ladies of various families, as well as the ladies and young masters of the Lan Mansion were all sitting at the banquet, waiting for the prince to arrive before the banquet began. However, the prince's delay in arriving inevitably aroused secret criticism from everyone.

"What's going on, it's already this hour, and the prince hasn't come yet, is it because he didn't plan to go to the banquet at all?" Lan Yinghui whispered in Lan Ru's ear.

Lan Ru patted the back of her hand and persuaded: "Just wait at ease. Whether the prince comes or not has nothing to do with us."

Lan Yinghui laughed and said: "I know it has nothing to do with us. However, our fifth sister is going to be embarrassed."

Lan Ru smiled lightly and said nothing, but looked at the other young ladies from aristocratic families.

Gongsun Lan is about seventeen or eighteen years old, slightly older than the young ladies present here, with an oval face, snow-like skin, gentle eyebrows and eyes, giving the impression that she is the kind of very wise woman who always sits with a smile on her face During the banquet.

Zhao Yinghua was about the same age as Lan Yan, with a beautiful appearance, light eyebrows, and elegant demeanor, giving people a sense of elegance and refinement.It is said that not only is her attainments in martial arts far superior to girls of the same age, but she is also very proficient in the collection of classics and history, poetry, music and Fu, and she is a well-known talented woman in Kyoto.

Yang Fanzhuo, because of the ceremony last time, she is very low-key today, and her attire is quite elegant, but this kind of makeup makes her skin as white as snow and her lips as vermilion cherry blossoms. coquettish.

Princess Murong Huafeng, it is said that her family, the Murong family, is as prominent as the Li family and the Luo family, and they are all prosperous families with hundreds of years of roots.But her temperament is different from Luo Jiaojiao's indulgent and unruly temperament, rather cold and indifferent.

It is rumored that this woman is proficient in the five elements and gossip, and she does not know where she got the orthodox inheritance of an ancient sect. Although she is about the same age as Lan Yan, her martial arts has already entered the Gang Qi realm; It's not enough to describe her beauty, coupled with her cool and elegant temperament, just sitting there, she has already overwhelmed all the women sitting there, and attracted the attention of men.

When Lan Yan first saw these ladies from aristocratic families, she immediately had a feeling that several other people came to accompany this Murong Huafeng, and this woman was Wei Changxi's favorite daughter-in-law.

His eyes seemed to sweep over these famous ladies in Kyoto casually, and a coldness flashed in Lan Ru's eyes.She glanced at Lan Yan again, only to see that Lan Yan was just sitting there indifferently, chatting with the young lady next to her from time to time, as if she had no idea what these young ladies from well-known families would do to her if they were sitting here today. What will be the end?

Lan Yinghui whispered in her ear again: "What's the matter with our fifth sister, are you planning to choose a side concubine for the prince? We even invited these famous talented women and beauties."

Lan Ru smiled lightly, and said, "Fifth Sister has her reasons, let's just drink and eat." She was also really puzzled, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lan Yan's gourd, given Lan Yan's publicity in the past With a domineering character, it is absolutely impossible to allow others to get involved in the crown prince. Why did you invite these noble ladies from Kyoto today?Moreover, these ladies are all from prominent families, and they have far more advantages than Lan Yan herself.

Lan Yinghui said: "If we don't have a banquet, where can we get food and wine? I'm afraid His Royal Highness doesn't want to come." After speaking, she burst out laughing in a low voice.

This is the banquet for the juniors, Wei Changxi couldn't take a seat, but he hid behind the screen and peeked. Seeing that the prince hadn't arrived for a long time, he was anxious and nervous, so he secretly sent someone to the door to look at it several times.

Finally, someone from outside came to report that "the crown prince and Princess Xiangyu have arrived", Lan Yan lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes, and said in her heart: "This Li Yunqi clearly knows that there are other ladies from famous families at this banquet, So he intentionally delayed the time to express his dissatisfaction. This guy, who obviously hates these young ladies who pester him, still pretends to be polite every time, and behaves very gentle and humble, so not hypocritical."

As the host, Lan Yan got up first, and led the crowd to the door to greet her. From a distance, she saw a group of palace servants hugging the three of them walking in the middle.On the left and right are Luo Jiaojiao and Li Xiangyu.

Luo Jiaojiao is wearing a purple skirt, her long eyebrows are painted a little high, her hair is combed into a double cloud bun, she walks elegantly, she is decorated with jingling bells, she walks swaying like a concubine and a fairy.

Li Xiangyu was wearing a pale red palace dress with gold trim, painted vermilion on his forehead, wearing a golden phoenix hairpin on his head, and wearing moon pearls in his ears.

But the one walking in front of the two women was wearing a moon-white robe, embroidered with a four-claw golden python pattern, and his hair was neatly combed to the top of his head, tied with a jade crown. Pleiades.Along the way, the dragon walks like a tiger, the long ink-colored hair and the long moon-white skirt are blown up by the wind, flying and dancing, the scenery is like the moon, and people can see that it is the prince Li Yunqi.

Lan Yan immediately went up to meet her and bowed down to salute.

"Yan'er, please get up quickly." Li Yunqi immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help her up, but a warm and thick big hand clasped Lan Yan's small hand, which made Lan Yan's heart skip a beat.

Lan Yan raised her head to look at Li Yunqi, only to see that there was a smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

Lan Yan stepped back slightly, pulled out her hand imperceptibly, and said, "Prince, please."

This guy deliberately came up to hold her hand in front of everyone, just to let those young ladies from aristocratic families know that she, Lan Yan, was the prince's future princess, so that he could divert the attention of these young ladies from aristocratic families to her.Huh, asking a daughter's family to protect him from disaster, this man is really not an ordinary despicable person.

Lan Yan led Li Yunqi into the hall of Xiaoyao Hall, and the rest of the people followed and took their seats.

Here, Li Yunqi has the highest status, so he is naturally in the main seat, and the position is on Lan Yan's side.However, Luo Jiaojiao and Li Xiangyu were not on the banquet list at all, but Wei Changxi had sent someone to watch at the door early, so he had already learned of the arrival of the two girls. Although he was not happy, he quickly sent someone to join the banquet The position saves the embarrassment of these two people, and also prevents the prince from feeling that the Lan family is stingy.
