Chapter 52 - Audience

Wei Lan Yi was a little nervous.

Because there was Wei Ruo Yi pressing on top, no matter if it was New Year celebration or the palace feast, the one and the madame would always bring out Wei Ruo Yi. Their little sisters, born of a concubine, rarely had the chance to see the world in a place like this.

However, before her mother entered the general's estate, she had seen some scenes and would tell her about them when she had nothing to do.

She had also asked the other sisters of her clan to gather all sorts of people to teach her music, calligraphy, and courtly etiquette. There were even a few old wet nurses who had come out of the palace. She knew what her mother was thinking. Today was the chance for her to soar into the skies.

She slightly raised her eyes and glanced at her mother. She could feel that her forehead was covered in a few fine beads of perspiration due to the weather and knew that she was even more nervous than herself.

Wei Lan Yi tugged on the corner of her mother's clothes, Aunt Lan turned to look at his daughter, and saw her smiling at him, he understood.

Such a considerate daughter was willing to do more for her.

The palace maid who had been sent in to pass on the message came out, "Please follow me, servants. The Empress wants you to come in and speak with her."

Just a moment ago, she was extremely nervous, and was afraid that if Princess Gongbei knew that she was only an aunt, he would tell them to go to the side hall to wait.

Aunt Lan already hated her identity.

Once again observing her daughter, she took a deep breath and brought Wei Lan Yi in.

Sitting high, the noble ladies' auras alone were enough to intimidate the women from the small families.

Wei Lan Yi frowned, and followed closely behind his mother, constantly reminding himself that he should not make any mistakes.

After bowing, the Esteemed Empress Chen called for him to rise.

She directly looked past the Aunt Lan, and landed on Wei Lan Yi's body.

The girl stood there gracefully with her back straight. Although she looked like she was bowing, she did not shrink at all. It seemed that she had undergone quite a bit of training. However, her head was lowered, and her appearance could not be seen. The clothes she wore, however, was a style that she liked. She looked fresh and clean, but also had a few traces of flirtatiousness.

"You are the Aunt Lan's Aunt Lan?" Chen Fei slowly said.

"Yes." Aunt Lan quickly replied.

"Oh. Your Elder Sis is the official wife of An Guang, I didn't remember wrongly, right? " The Esteemed Empress Chen asked with a smile.

"Empress, you really have a good memory." This humble one's Elder Sis was married to the prince of An Guo back then, and is now the official wife of An Guang. " Aunt Lan replied again. However, the bottom of his heart felt like it had knocked over the seasoning shop. Sour, bitter, spicy, and salty mixed together, but there was no sweetness.

If she was the direct descendant, why would the title of the Duke's wife fall on her head? She was also the young miss of the Hou Mansion, no matter which part of her was worse than the Elder Sis?

Her life had been like this, but her daughter had only just begun.

"Before I entered the palace, I went on a trip with your Elder Sis. Now that I am older, we are on the same side." "The Esteemed Empress Chen laughed. Behind you is your daughter, right? "

"Yes." When he finally got the hang of it, the Aunt Lan frowned and bowed.

"Come, come forward. Lift your head up and let me take a look." Esteemed Empress Chen called out as he raised his hand.

His heart was in ecstasy! At this moment, Aunt Lan's palms were covered in sweat. The opportunity she had been harboring in her heart had finally arrived.

Wei Lan Yi took two steps forward and slowly raised his head.

After seeing Wei Ruo Yi's beautiful appearance, the noble ladies seated on high seats did not feel surprised at all. However, this girl had a very good temperament. When compared to the clothes she was wearing, she was like an orchid in a valley. She had a clear and elegant face, and she gave off an air of arrogance.

Princess Gongbei's eyes flashed as she laughed, "It's said that all the girls in Marquis's Mansion are beauties. Now that I've seen it today, I know that this rumor is not false at all. "Look at this young lady, her elegant and beautiful appearance really makes people happy."

Receiving Princess Gongbei's praise, Wei Lan Yi felt a little embarrassed and slightly lowered her head. She hung her head quite horizontally, showing her shyness and modesty, and then changed her angle to reveal her sense of beauty.

Wei Ruo Yi that fellow was always carefree at home, he had an uncultured appearance, and when he went out, he relied on his identity as the Ziyi marquis, chattering non-stop, and his eyes high up in the sky. Wei Lan Yi felt that his performance, compared to Wei Ruo Yi's, should be more pleasing to her.

"What a nice person." The Esteemed Empress Chen laughed, "I like them even at first glance. How old are you this year? "

"Thirteen. After the new year, he will be fourteen." Wei Lan Yi laughed.

"Aiyo, look at your age. It really is like a flower." "The Princess Gongbei laughed. It's such a nice sound, like an oriole bird. "

"Do you have any permission from him?" The Esteemed Empress Chen asked again.

A layer of red clouds suddenly appeared on Wei Lan Yi's face. It was light and faint, like a rosy mist, and it made her look even more beautiful.

"Answer the Empress." The Aunt Lan said, "I have not. The Chong'an County Lord s at home have not settled down yet, so it's naturally not the turn of other ladies. "

Her words had a double meaning. The Chong'an County Lord was tyrannical! Won't she fix it? How would the others dare to move?

"That leathery monkey from the Chong'an, he still hasn't steadied his temper. Maybe after he's one year old, he can take a look and retract his temper." The Esteemed Empress Chen laughed.

When the Aunt Lan heard this, she was ecstatic!

If Chen Fei had truly set his eyes on Wei Ruo Yi, he would not say such words!

As long as Wei Ruo Yi was not selected, Wei Lan Yi would have the chance, she had bet the right treasure today.

"Isn't Chong'an injured? Since her sister had also come, she might as well stay behind to take care of Chong'an. Does the wangfei think this is good? " The Esteemed Empress Chen said.

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Chen Fei opened his mouth, there was no reason for Princess Gongbei to reject him, "With an acquaintance by my side, Chong'an County Lord can live more comfortably."

This was the sound of a pie falling from the sky!

If it were not for the fact that Aunt Lan was forced by the circumstances, she really would have jumped in joy.

"Then I'll have to thank you, Esteemed Empress Chen, for your grace." Aunt Lan immediately bowed.

"Alright, you guys go take a look at Chong'an County Lord. "She was severely injured." The Chen Fei laughed.

Aunt Lan brought Wei Lan Yi and left, pulling her daughter's hand all the way, tightly pulling her. With a palace maid leading the way by her side, she couldn't say anything, but she was still unable to calm down from her excitement.

Esteemed Empress Chen also wanted Wei Lan Yi to stay, so she overestimated him!

Ever since Wei Ruo Yi left the Ye Wen Tower, Xiao Jin An and Xiao Jin also came out, so Aunt Lan brought Wei Lan Yi over, but did not see the two brothers.

At this time, Xiao Jin An was playing chess with the expressionless Xiao Jin.
