Lady Changning

Chapter 9 Xi Lingyan (2)

Xi Changning could see that Fifth Yiniang really cared about her, but she didn't want to explain too much. Some things were said too clearly, which would be detrimental to Fifth Yiniang. Moreover, she is just a child now, and what she said may not be listened to.

"Fifth Yiniang, Chang Ning naturally understands in her heart. It's getting late, Fifth Yiniang should prepare earlier, isn't she going to mother's for dinner tonight?"

Fifth Yiniang is a sensible person, so she naturally knows that Xi Changning doesn't want to say anything more.I was also telling her not to ask any more questions.She thought about it, although the current Xi Changning was different from the Xi Changning in her impression, although she was young, she was thoughtful and thoughtful, and she would not dare to be so reckless at the Lantern Festival banquet if she had no idea.

As soon as Fifth Yiniang walked away, Xi Lingyan woke up.

"Fourth sister, I have caused you trouble."

In the previous life, Xi Lingyan and Xi Changning didn't have any special communication, the only thing in common was Xi Hanxue's stepping stone.Looking at Xi Lingyan's pale face, Xi Changning seemed to be able to see the shadow of being bullied by Xi Hanxue in his previous life.

"Mingyu, change your clothes for the second young lady, take the sky blue silk skirt from my new clothes."

Mingyu was stunned for a moment, it was strange, the material of that silk dress was old, or some time ago the young lady pawned some jewelry for her to buy and make, saying that she would need it in the future, why did she let the second young lady now?Although he was puzzled, Mingyu still didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to get it.

"Fourth sister, what should I do? I also threw the clothes my mother gave you into the river."

"Second sister, why be polite, the second sister's skirt was rubbed against the mud by the river just now, besides, Meiyi is naturally accompanying the Pearl."

When Xi Lingyan heard Mingzhu, she was stunned. It had been a long time since anyone compared her like that.There is only one pearl in Xiangfu, and that is Xi Hanxue.

Xi Lingyan is actually very beautiful, she is not very delicate, not as gorgeous as Xi Hanxue, but she looks clearer than Xi Hanxue, with tender white and crystal clear skin, red lips that are not smudged, Yanshan black eyebrows, and everyone who is like the third aunt Lady's temperament is another kind of beauty compared to Xi Hanxue.It's just that Xi Lingyan is cowardly and always bows his head and swallows his anger. As time goes by, no one cares about her.

Xi Lingyan, who had put on a little makeup, looked much more lively than before, and even she looked at herself in the mirror in surprise.

"Second sister is beautiful." Xi Changning looked at Xi Lingyan and couldn't help but praise.

There were tears in Xi Lingyan's eyes, and she even choked up a little, she didn't know what to say to Xi Changning for a moment.Just giggle.

Even Mingyu on the side started giggling along with her.

"Second Miss is really beautiful."

"You girl is still so talkative, where are my clothes? Why do you still want to be called shabby?" Xi Changning lightly poked Mingyu's forehead.

Mingyu was startled, and immediately turned and left the room to get her clothes.By the time Xi Changning changed his clothes, it would be too late to finish messing around.

Even Xi Lingyan was surprised when Xi Changning's eyes brightened. He never thought that such a contradictory temperament could be reflected in one person.How could such a person be her cowardly sister?It's no wonder that Da Furen and Xi Hanxue are so deflated.

—— compound

The compound is the place where the eldest lady lives. The general summary is that it is large, a single family, a large independent yard, large and small rooms, and simple and exquisite furnishings, which can fully explain the status of the eldest lady in this family.

For Xi Changning, these are not the key points, the point is that there seems to be an unexpected guest.

"The daughter of the people sees the third prince. I have met Mr. Yan."

Xi Changning and Xi Lingyan saluted meekly.At the same time, he was also baptized by the eyes of everyone present. At first, they all looked at Xi Lingyan, but later they fixed their eyes on Xi Changning.

Dressed in red, revealing a coldness that doesn't match her age, her hair is tied up, her bright and innocent eyes are looking at innocence, such a contradictory feeling collides and merges in this 13-year-old girl until it shines.

Xi Hanxue originally accepted the admiration of the whole room, but with the appearance of Xi Changning and Xi Lingyan, everyone seemed to be fixed by something.Xi Lingyan Vino, this blue dress makes her look like a lost elf in the mountains, and Xi Changning, who is dressed in red, is even more indescribable, making people even more unpredictable but also fatally attractive.Thinking that Xi Hanxue was frightened by her own thoughts, when would she use these words to describe these two people?
"Changning, Lingyan, why are you so late? Don't make the third prince feel rude." In order to let everyone's eyes return to her, Xi Hanxue said this sentence that seemed to speak for Xi Changning and Xi Lingyan, but it was nothing more than a reproach they.

"It is said that the third prince has a big heart, so why would he care about us sisters?" Xi Changning cleverly turned the conversation to the third prince.

The third prince smiled slightly, knowing it in his heart.

"Prime Minister Xi is very lucky, having a woman is enough."

"The third prince is laughing."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone was seated. It seemed that the Third Prince deliberately arranged for Yan Xiufeng to sit beside Xi Changning.Yan Xiufeng is modest and polite, this kind of deliberation even Xi Changning finds it funny, Yan Xiufeng, Yan Xiufeng, it's still so ridiculous, the third prince does whatever he says, clings to the third prince, and obeys.The third prince in the previous life asked him to marry her, so he married her, and even acted so affectionately after marriage. He is really like an actor, no wonder it is said that actors are ruthless.

The eldest lady also arranged Xi Hanxue next to the third prince very deliberately, and anyone with a discerning eye could understand that this was nothing more than a beauty trick.How could the third prince be so shrewd not understand?It's hard for him to pretend to be extremely admiring for Xi Hanxue.

The eldest lady urged the servants to serve the dishes, and from time to time called the third prince to bring the dishes.

"The last home banquet made all the princes laugh. Changning is young, so I apologize for her mother. These dishes are made by the best chef in the capital. I hope the third prince and Mr. Yan will not dislike them."

The eldest lady understood in her heart that the third prince just wanted to win over his master, but his master was planning to pull Prince Long in his heart.But to get Xi Hanxue close to the prince still depends on the third prince.No matter the prince or the third prince in the future, it will not harm her again.

Xi Changning listened to Da Furen's words, but had no intention of making conversation.This mother and daughter acted like they were singing an opera, she was involved in everything.It's nothing more than to make outsiders feel how unbearable she is.I'm afraid I'm right and wrong this time. Although the third prince is seventeen or eighteen years old, he understands very well in his heart that he can't be wary of Da Furen's old fox's plan.So Xi Changning didn't want to wade into their muddy water at this time.

"Third Prince, I also offer you a toast. In the future, Changning and Hanxue will be more forgiving when they are in the palace."

Xi Jian's words pierced deeply into Xi Changning's heart like a needle.Even the calm expression became subtle, she looked at Xi Hanxue, and she glanced at her shyly and with a trace of hidden disdain.Looking at the third prince, what met him was a pair of smiling eyes, it really was his fault.It seems that the third prince wants to find someone to test her, it doesn't matter, the one who should come will still come.

"Changning, you must listen to your sister in the harem, don't be so disobedient like at home."

It's not that she doesn't understand something in the lady's words, she is stingy, looking at Xi Hanxue as if you can't beat me, Xi Changning still looks at Xi Jian with a glimmer of hope.

"Father begged the emperor?"

"Hanxue is full of poetry and books, you are restless, it is better to have your sister around than you to cause trouble in the palace."

Xi Changning bowed his head and remained silent, Xi Jian still didn't trust her, that's why he begged the emperor, coupled with the third prince's fanning the flames, it was not difficult to make it happen.Xi Hanxue's position in this family is not so easy to shake as imagined, especially for Xi Jian and the eldest lady, it is not so easy to give up that face.

"I hope my sister will take care of her in the future."

The third prince, Huangfu Shenqian, looked at the flash of disappointment on Xi Changning's face, and felt that it was right for him to let Xi Hanxue into the palace.The appearance of Xi Changning is undoubtedly a bit overwhelming for many people. They don't know what she wants to do, and sometimes they don't even know what she is thinking?This girl who looks like twelve or thirteen years old is like a mirror in her heart, even he himself feels that sometimes she will see through her.

"Naturally, Changning is my younger sister, so why not take care of her. But having said that, I'd like to ask the third prince to forgive me in the future." Xi Hanxue did not forget to flatter Huangfu Shenqian in the end.

The third prince smiled like a spring breeze, and his appearance was very gentle and handsome. Unfortunately, she was not a prince. She was born to be a princess all her life, and the third prince was just a stepping stone on her way to becoming a princess.

I don't know if there is an outsider, but even the always aggressive Fifth Auntie seems to be giving Xi Jian a lot of face, quietly taking care of the two children and eating, not participating in the conversation, just looking at Xi Changning sometimes.

After dinner, we all sat in the lobby.The maids served tea and fruit.

"Third prince, look at my memory, I should have toasted you just now. Now it seems that I can only replace wine with tea. Can Lingyan help me?"

Seeing Xi Hanxue calling her, Xi Lingyan nodded reflexively.It was too late for Xi Changning to stop it.The maids handed over the teapot and tea cups, Xi Hanxue and Xi Lingyan stepped forward to salute, Xi Hanxue took the pot and poured it full of sincerity, but directly handed the hot teapot to Xi Lingyan, just touching her hand, Xi Lingyan was hot and threw away the teapot. There was a sound of "ping bell", and the tea splashed everywhere.

"What are you doing, girl?" Da Furen scolded.

Tears welled up in Xi Lingyan's eyes, and she shrank back.The third aunt immediately stepped forward to intercede.

"Miss Xi Er, is everything okay?"

Hearing the third prince asking Xi Lingyan, Xi Changning, who originally wanted to stand up, suppressed his temper.She finally understood that the third prince wanted to watch a show again today.

Huangfu Shenqian took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wrapped it around Xi Lingyan's red hands.

"Don't cry, I just turned over the tea." The voice of the spring breeze came to my ears.

Xi Lingyan took the courage to raise her head to look at the young man in brocade clothes in front of her, even smiling like a spring breeze.

Seeing Xi Lingyan's sinking look, Xi Changning couldn't help frowning, the third prince is three points more poisonous than poison, if Xi Lingyan is really stuck, no one can stop him.Thinking of this, Xi Changning got up and waved to the servant girl.
