The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 199 Fanwai: Wei Ruo catkins blown by the wind ([-])

Yuan and eight years, early February.

The entire city of Shengjing has just faded from the snow, and the green shoots have not yet emerged from the branches.

Everywhere looked bare.

In the scholar's mansion, the servants are sweeping the snow and holding the lamps.

In the elegant and beautiful courtyard, a scarlet girl sat on the porch.

She was wrapped tightly in a white fox fur cloak, revealing a very delicate face.

The maids beside her were waiting on her, wanting to put charcoal near her feet.

But she rejected it.

"Miss, I have worn enough clothes. I don't like the smell of coal fire. Take it away."

Chasing the moon is a bit embarrassing, if the lady is frozen, it will be troublesome.

There is still one month to enter the palace for draft, and with the young lady's beauty and family background, she must be kept.

If she is sick at this moment, then the old lady will blame her, what should she do?
After thinking about it, I planned to speak a few words of persuasion.

It's a pity that the eldest lady of the Lan family didn't intend to give her this chance, instead she took a volume of poetry and read it seriously.

"that was nice scenery at Jiang Nan, met you again in autumn."

Every time she reads this sentence, she always pauses a little.

I kept thinking about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in my mind.

The winter in Shengjing City is too long, unlike Jiangnan, which comes slowly and goes early.

At this moment, I am afraid that the spring water has melted, and the willows on both sides of the bank are about to sprout.

"I haven't been anywhere in my life, and I'm stuck in this world."

After saying this, Lan Xianya felt a little sad.

But Zhuiyun next to her comforted her and said.

"Miss, don't be sad. We will definitely have a chance in the future. I heard that the emperor loves the east and south tours. If you enter the palace and get favored, you will naturally be able to go with me. Don't say yes when the time comes. In the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid the other places are not a problem."

Lan Xianya glanced at Zhuiyun, and suddenly chuckled.

There was a look of "you think I'm stupid" in his eyes, but he patted her on the shoulder anyway.

Said amusingly.

"Okay, if you go to Jiangnan at that time, how about I find you a Jiangnan son-in-law? Miss, I have never seen the vast world, how about you go to see it for me?"

Zhuiyun blushed when she said that.

Stamping his feet, he said in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

"Miss! I won't talk to you anymore."

After saying this, he turned and went to the house to make the bed.

Lan Xianya laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

Madam Lan, who had just come in from the outside, also felt better after seeing this scene.

"Yo, what did the girls say to make you so happy?"

"Mother is here? Come on in and sit down!"

She doesn't like to let her family know that she likes to sit on the porch and read, and she doesn't have to be arranged again.

Fortunately, the cloak was thick enough, so her hands and feet were not cold.

Mrs. Lan didn't notice anything, she smiled and entered the house with her daughter.

The furnishings in the room were as elegant and courteous as ever. Mrs. Lan looked at her carefully raised daughter, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

So he reached out to support the hairpin in her bun, and then said with a smile.

"The clothes for the draft in the palace have already been sewn, and I'm rushing to bring them to you for a try. If there is anything wrong, there is still time to correct it."

As he spoke, he asked the nanny beside him to bring up the clothes.

This dress was specially made by the embroiderer of Yunxiu Pavilion.

It took half a year, and a total of eight embroiderers worked hard.

I saw an intricately crafted lake blue silk dress embroidered with butterfly patterns in front of me.

The embroidery color matching of three blues and three greens looks ordinary at first glance, but after a while, it feels elegant and fresh.

At the bottom of the dress, a pattern of butterfly love flowers is densely embroidered.

It looks like it has been done with care.

Lan Xianya liked this dress very much, she hurriedly put it on.

Sure enough, the clothes fit her very well once she put them on.

As he walked, the Dielian Flower at his feet seemed to be alive, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The Lan family has always been proud of Lan Xianya's appearance and demeanor.

Seeing that her daughter is about to enter the palace as a concubine, Yu Lan's is also a great thing.

Therefore, Mrs. Lan liked it more and more, and then praised it.

"My daughter is very beautiful! Even the Nine Heavens Fairy may not be able to compare with her."

Such an exaggerated rhetoric made Lan Xianya a little embarrassed.

She seldom goes out, and occasionally goes to the living room with her mother, and it's just chatting with some officials' wives and ladies.

Indeed, I have never seen a few more outstanding than her.

Therefore, Lan Xianya has a lot of confidence in herself.

Fingers stroked the upper skirt, and the smoothness of the silk thread gave her a little more confidence.

And Mrs. Lan said while the iron was hot.

"My mother remade a pair of jewelry for you in Zhenbaozhai. The shopkeeper said it was ready. Do you want to come and see it, or send them over?"

Lan Xianya naturally wanted to go out, otherwise she would be stuck in this house every day.

Even a delicate flower, it must be defeated.

Thinking of this, she said coquettishly.

"Good mother, let's go out with my daughter. If he really enters the palace, wouldn't this be the last time my daughter goes out?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lan felt that it made sense.

So I agreed.

After Lan Xianya changed her clothes, the mother and daughter headed out the door.

The people below have already prepared their chariots and horses, waiting for them to go.

The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing, very lively.

Walking to the front yard, I happened to meet the Lan University scholar who had just returned from outside.

And behind him was an unfamiliar young man.

It is now the eve of the Spring Festival, so these days, there are strange men coming and going in the Lan Mansion from time to time.

Therefore, you don't need to guess much, you can know that the young man born here is probably a scholar from a certain place who is preparing for the exam.

It caught the eyes of Lanzhou University scholars, so I invited them back home to "train" one or two students.

Mrs. Lan and Lan Xianya didn't shy away from it, they walked up to them and said.

"My concubine has met the master."

"The daughter has seen her father."

Bachelor Lan nodded, seeing that they were wearing cloaks and looked like they were about to go out, so they asked curiously.

"Ma'am, where is this taking Xianya?"

Madam Lan smiled and replied.

"Jewelry in Zhenbaozhai is ready, I will go over to pick it out with Xianya on my body, I won't be entering the palace for a draft in a few days, it would be shameful if I didn't order jewelry to complement it."

"Well, what Madam said is right! Then Xianya and your mother can choose carefully. If there is not enough, send someone to the accountant to pick it up."

Lan Xianya's entry into the palace is the biggest expectation of the Lan family.

Naturally, everything has to be properly prepared.

"The daughter thanked the father."

After the three of them finished speaking, the man behind him spoke.

Obeying the rules, he bowed and saluted Mrs. Lan.
