Chapter 281

The gifts given by the servants can be described as varied, some gave purses, silk handkerchiefs, head flowers, clothes, shoes and socks, food and snacks, and money.However, Ai Lan declined all the money gifts. She can accept the gold and silver gifts from Chen Shiyan Cangxiong and the old lady, and the money from these servants is the monthly money they have worked so hard to save. If she accepts it, her conscience will not be able to bear it , As for those who eat snacks, it is cheaper for everyone who lives in Sanskrit.

All of a sudden, the maids and women who worked as errands in Sanskrit became popular, and the other servants in the mansion would greet them respectfully when they saw them, which made them feel like they had finally broken through the sky and felt elated. This is why all this happened The results were too unbelievable, which made them feel guilty.

The aunts and ladies in the mansion didn't know what happened, and they kept a wait-and-see attitude.

Leng Ping seemed to know something. Every time he worked for Ai Lan, he looked at her with extremely complicated eyes. He wanted to say something several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After another two months like this, after the autumn banquet in September, a big event happened in the Hou's mansion. The empress wanted to see several nieces and aunts in the mansion, and was going to choose one of them as the worry-free little girl. The princess' playmate.

The worry-free little princess is nine years old this year. If you choose based on age, Yan Xiaowan and Yan Xiaofan are already 14 years old, and they are about to get engaged in time, which is not suitable. is the best candidate.

For the dignitaries in the capital, being the playmate of the little princess is extremely honorable. Many people can't ask for it. This is thanks to the fact that the empress is the eldest sister of the Chen family. Otherwise, there would be no such honor.Yan Xiaoyu's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was clear in her heart, and hurriedly gave Chen an authentic calligraphy and painting of a celebrity in her collection, and then gave her daughter Yan Xiaoyu some advice.

Yan Xiaoyu had been studying etiquette and rules with her sisters before, and she understood the basic daily etiquette rules, but she was a little irritable. Nagging, but I listened honestly.

Yan Xiaoting watched Aunt Zhao concentrate on teaching her younger sister, as if the worry-free little princess would definitely choose her younger sister this time, she couldn't help sneering in her heart.According to her age, she would be reluctant to accompany a nine-year-old little girl, but the other party is a noble princess after all, and being selected is also a manifestation of her own excellence, so she will not voluntarily give up this opportunity. Chance.

Aunt Zhao is like this, and Aunt Li doesn't want to lag behind.

Yan Xiaorui has a meek and weak personality. She has lived a good life with Aunt Li's protection these years, but it is not easy to make a good marriage. After all, Aunt Li is just a humble aunt, and her daughter's life can only be decided by Mrs. Chen is in charge. If her daughter is lucky enough to be favored by the little princess this time, it will undoubtedly increase her social status. In the future, marriage is also the key.

Aunt Li thought over and over again, and took out a pair of jade bracelets from the bottom of her box and gave them to Mrs. Chen. This pair of jade bracelets was given to her by Yan Cangxiong when she was favored. s things.

Aunt Han and Aunt Luo have no children, so naturally there is no need to bother.

Aunt Wu didn't move this time either, because her daughter Yan Xiaowan couldn't be selected anyway because of her age.Yan Xiaowan even made a fuss at the time, but Aunt Wu persuaded her that even if she was not selected by the little princess, it would be a great honor to enter the palace, and she might be able to meet some noble person to win favor if she dressed up better .

Naturally, Yan Xiaofan didn't think about this, and to be honest, she was relieved when she learned that she couldn't be selected because of her age.Mrs. Chen came to the Sanskrit House in person, not to urge Yan Xiaofan to do something, but to give Ai Lan the clothes to wear in the palace. The texture of the fabric was better than Yan Xiaofan's, and Tianxing, Xiangguo and others were shocked. The atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.

On the night before entering the palace, Ai Lan saw the lord of Shenji Palace again. She was still wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a scarlet cloak, waist-length jet-black hair hanging loose, and a bright red glistening face. Ghostface masks create a mysterious, weird and terrifying atmosphere in the dark night.

Tonight's palace lord seemed to be tense and stiff all over, and his inner emotions were not revealed at all, but Ai Lan could still feel that he had a strong dislike for herself.Ai Lan was puzzled, although the previous palace lord sneered at her and repeatedly said she was ugly, but he didn't hate her as much as he does now, as if she raped him.

"Do you know the consequences of entering the palace this time?" the palace lord asked with a cold voice.

"Probably." Alan said indifferently.

"Hmph! You can think about it!" The coldness in the voice of the Palace Mistress grew heavier.

"Just tell me what you have to say."

"Come with me!"

"reason."

"Xiao Bai."

Ai Lan couldn't help frowning, Xiao Bai tried his best to win her over because he had the same ability to read minds as him, but she didn't want to join Shenji Palace, she had her own life.

"The emperor is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. He just happened to be interested in me. It is a bit of patience to hold back for a few months without doing anything. If I suddenly disappear this time, maybe he will blame the Marquis of Wu'an. "

"What does it have to do with you? You are just a little maidservant in the Hou's mansion, how can you be addicted to slavery? Do you want to swear allegiance to the master?"

"What does the master have to do with me? I just can't hurt my friend, so this time I want to enter the palace."

The palace lord sneered and said disdainfully, "You think the emperor is interested in you?"

Ai Lan shrugged her shoulders: "How is it possible? He has taken a fancy to Shenji Palace." Last time, she used a famous post from Shenji Palace to make a deal with King Duan. If she succeeded in passing through the Wanhua Building, then the emperor must also want to squeeze out something he thinks is valuable from her!
The palace lord snorted coldly: "What are you going to do? Although Xiao Bai likes you, I don't like you. I hope you are a little self-aware!"

The palace lord said this decisively, but Ai Lan could hear some awkwardness, not to mention Xiao Bai, why did he feel that the palace lord seemed to be afraid that he would be entangled with him, and was eager to get rid of his relationship with him.Although the palace master's aura is extremely powerful, his voice is noble and sweet, and he may even have a monstrous face that will bring disaster to the country and the people, but she has never coveted him in the slightest. What makes this man so ...Uh, disregarding her status, condescending to give her a warning not to have unreasonable thoughts about him?
Ai Lan curled her lips: "Don't bother Your Excellency, don't worry, I won't borrow the name of your Shenji Palace this time."

The palace lord naturally saw Ai Lan's expression in his eyes, disdainful, yes, the little girl actually disdained his words, which made him a little annoyed for no reason, but he was afraid that Ai Lan would read his inner emotions, so he could only He kept tensing his nerves for a moment, and finally dropped the words "I hope so", and disappeared into the night without anyone noticing.
