Lan You Nian sat down with Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian inside the horse carriage leading to the house of Prime Minister An, which was the house of the girl An yiniang.
“Nian'er, today you have to follow your brother. Don't run around,” said Lan Jian Jun with an anxious heart. Then he said firmly to Lan Mo Xian, “Mo Xian, Prime Minister An is usually out of tune with our Lan manor, in the past he had never invited our Lan manor, now, it is, he not only invited our Lan manor but also specifically.wanted Nian'er to come. Most likely there is a danger.”
Lan Mo Xian's warm face was also severe. How could he not know of father's worries? When An yiniang marries his father to become a concubine, Prime Minister An threatens the father to turn his mother into a concubine and make An yiniang as Madam, but the father, not only refuses, to, he also refused to accept An yiniang. Initially, Father and Prime Minister An did not get along in the official environment, and because of this, the hostility became deeper.
Later, An yiniang entered the manor as a concubine, but father never questioned her. It blatantly slapped Prime Minister An's face. In the future, the two often fought in official environments.
Later, mom died. I just want to mourn him. An yiniang gained power in the manor, and Prime Minister An's side was much smoother. Even then, father went to the border to fight. There was no more interaction with Prime Minister An, so the complaints of the two men were put aside, but now seeing Prime Minister An's attitude, he might target Nian'er meimei…
“Dad, son knows. Today son will pay more attention and keep Nian'er meimei,” Lan Mo Xian comforted. Today, originally, he did not want Nian'er meimei to come here but the invitation of the Prime Minister's manor was not only named Nian'er, this morning the old mistress and An yiniang persuaded many times. If they did not come, it would also cause many tongues to sway.
“Nian'er, be more careful today. Protecting yourself is a priority. Whatever happens, don't be afraid. I'll be there for you!” Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter who did not say a word.
Heart's fidgeting. Although he was a military commander, he was aware of the vagaries of civilian officials. Prime Minister An better not touch Nian'er, otherwise…
“Thank you very much for General Lan's consideration,” Lan You Nian still looks the same as a gentle smile. There was not even the slightest bit of anxiety for the banquet today.
"Nian!" Lan Jian Jun's voice hinted at decisiveness, “No matter how much you hate father's neglect in the past, father is willing to endure it. Whatever you want to do, Dad will agree, but you shouldn't be naughty. Did you know if you misstep today, you'll be in danger!"
"Oh?" Lan You Nian raised his eyes, brilliant eyes as the stars suddenly exploded with a gloomy chill.
This child made Lan Jian Jun, who had always been on the battlefield all year, terrified. This coldness he had only seen in one person. That person was Ming wang Feng Yi Xuan.
“Nian...” Lan Mo Xian was also startled by the cold aura around his family's younger sister. He was afraid that Lan You Nian would oppose father and add more trouble today. Lan Mo Xian pleaded to call Lan You Nian, she did not want her most respected father and most beloved sister to be enemies.
Lan Jian Jun seemed to feel his tone was too heavy. She wanted to say something but Lan You Nian had already closed her beautiful eyes. Her gentle appearance seemed like she had never put anything or anyone into her heart, it seemed, in this world she was alone.
Lan You Nian was considering a banquet today. Today is the 50th birthday of Prime Minister An so the grand banquet invites all the nobles of the capital. Prime Minister An could be said to be living very smoothly. Her eldest daughter was the noble consort of a country.
He helped Feng Shao Chu's second wangye; if in the future Feng Shao Chu's second wangye ascended the throne, then one could only imagine the high status of Prime Minister An.
Moreover, Prime Minister An now has the official title of prime minister. The people who wanted to lick it were endless. The arrogant yet the daughter who was the concubine was disliked, how could Prime Minister An swallow this?
Some time ago, Lan Ya and Lan Zhi often went to the Prime Minister's palace. They must have said something in front of Prime Minister An that would cause Prime Minister An to regard himself as a thorn in his side.
Today's banquet would probably be a lot of deliberate trouble for him. In fact, Prime Minister An's goal is not hard to guess. He and Lan Jian Jun disagreed with each other. However, although Prime Minister An's official ranking was high, but he did not have any military power.
Originally, he had thought Lan Jian Jun would hand over military power to Lan Yin in the future, but had not expected Lan Jian Jun would not have such an idea. So Prime Minister An, not only did he want to get rid of her, more importantly, he wanted to get rid of Lan Mo Xian, thus allowing the military power to fall into Lan Yin's hands. In the future, the,
Train stops. Lan Jian Jun led Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian down from the carriage. The train that was following behind also stopped. Out walking down An yiniang and his children.
An yiniang today was carefully wearing a large peony on top of the reddish-green jade jade jade green brocade (bi xia luo), the pink water fairy flowers scattered with green leaf skirts were dragged on the ground.
He wore a thin, jade-green, thin coat threaded in gold, low-hanging hair that was inserted obliquely with a pearl-encrusted jasper hairpin. She was obviously over 30 years old but still purposely dressed like a young lady. It makes people feel uncomfortable. Behind him, Lan Zhi and Lan Ya dressed up carefully; they were also beautiful sights.
An yiniang saw everyone's appreciation for him, he wanted to vomit. Today she returns to celebrate her father's birthday, but she can't share the train with her husband.
Not knowing how the noble housewife in the capital would mock her behind her back. But I promised to punish the prostitute. Let's see how long he can be proud. Not only would the identity of his daughter's legitimate daughter, this glory and kindness would also be his daughters.
The mountains and rocks dotted, embracing the plague "An Manor" in the building. The entire courtyard was magnificent, majestic and luxurious. The gardens are clustered, smooth and beautiful. The inner courtyard is full of roses. The puddle of water was surrounded by a white stone road that crossed the Qi Fang River to cross to the other side.
“Isn't this my virtuous son-in-law? My humble inhabitant is honored by your presence!” Prime Minister An stood outside the hall and greeted the newcomers. He was wearing a golden and black robe. Although he was already fifty years old, he looked very healthy. His appearance was quite elegant and learned, but that pair of eyes was filled with cunning that could not be ignored.
"From Prime Minister An's 50th year, how could this general not come?" Lan Jian Jun did not heed the call of Prime Minister An's virtuous son-in-law. He did not respect her as much as Tutor He did. The people around who saw this knew that General Lan had no intention of cursing Prime Minister An. He even dropped the face of Prime Minister An.
An yiniang who followed behind paled. He did not expect Lan Jian Jun to still not recognize his identity on this day, as if he being his concubine was tarnishing his reputation. Lan You Nian looked at An yiniang's pale cheeks and smiled in satisfaction. This smile was clearly seen by An Yiniang.
Prime Minister An was very dissatisfied with Lan Jian Juns unconsciousness, but today was his big day, he could ruin his own banquet. Moreover, he and Lan Jian Jun had been fighting for many years, there was no need to rush for now. Today he wanted to deal with Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian who were following behind Lan Jian Jun.
“This must be General Lan Che Qi. Indeed, the hero emerged from the young boy ah!” Prime Minister An praised Lan MO Xian with an unknown tone.
“Thank you very much for the praise of Prime Minister An!” Lan Mo Xian put away his warm smile when facing an outsider. Right now, he was General Che Qi who was valiantly slaughtering enemies on the battlefield.
“No need to be too humble. This might be Miss Lan who just came back!” Prime Minister An deliberately exerted pressure when facing Lan You Nian. After all, the people sent to kill this girl had died without leaving the entire body. For a long time, he was not in a narrow corner. A little girl could actually handle so many shadow guards, even if the shadow guard martial arts were very common.
Many eyes looked at Lan You Nian who was standing there like a sight. He stood quietly beside Lan Mo Xian. A gentle wind swept the veil over her cheek. Silk hair strands danced in the wind, exploding with a soft fragrance. Although his face was shattered, many of the people present were still immersed in this beautiful painting.
Lan You Nian's lips opened lightly, his eyes lowered, "This little girl greets Prime Minister An," her voice was crisp and elegant, far surpassing Lan Zhi and Lan Ya behind him. Appearance is irrelevant only temperament.
Prime Minister An carefully studied Lan You Nian who was still a child in front of him. With her sensitive years of experience while navigating the official circle, she senses danger from the girl before her. Even if he had no strength in his hands, was still very young and had no support, but Prime Minister An sensed danger. This woman can't stay!
“An-niang is back ah. Yin'er is back. Come, come, let grandfather see!” The Prime Minister deliberately did not pay attention to Lan You Nian, making Lan You Nian behave coldly.
Everyone thought Lan You Nian would feel aggrieved and awkward, but Lan You Nian handled this easily. Although Lan You Nian's expression could not be seen under the veil, everyone could feel this girl was neither arrogant nor had a rash attitude. In comparison, it is clear that the Prime Minister, as an elder, is a bit shortsighted.
Lan Jian Jun was extremely dissatisfied with Prime Minister An's disregard for his daughter, but at this moment, he could not vent his anger. Even if he's a military officer, he's not stupid. Lan Jian Jun could only contain the anger in his heart. He pulled Lan You Nian into the courtyard within the banquet.
Many people came today. Almost all the children of the capital's official family had arrived. Prime Minister An's power among officials cannot be underestimated. Today, the second wangye and the fourth wangye are also here. Even Feng Xiao Luo's eldest daughter had come much earlier. Everyone greeted each other. Lan Jian Jun was taken away by some people from official circles. As he left he reminded Lan Mo Xian to look after Lan You Nian.
Lan Mo Xian knew his sister had never participated in such a banquet. He also did not know any of the unmarried young ladies. So, she dragged Lan You Nian to an inconspicuous place at the banquet, afraid that her little sister could not adapt to such a situation.
Lan You Nian observed the banquet. It was nothing more than a young unmarried woman and a good young man. Was it a small talk among the officials, a type of banquet that he was very unhappy with. In his previous life, taking over the family clan, he often waded through situations like this. In this life, this was his first time participating in such a banquet, inevitably he got bored.
“Nian'er, don't like?” Lan Mo Xian sat next to Lan You Nian. Seeing the impatience in Lan You Nian's eyes, he asked.
"En, it would be best to use this time to sleep," In the presence of familiar people, Lan You Nian restored his original personality. She was as charming as a child.
"Hi? Isn't this the third sister? Why is the third sister sitting here?" Lan Zhi's voice was filled with shock. But the sound still attracted the attention of many people. At first everyone was curious about the legitimate daughter of the manor Lan had just returned, so looking at Lan You Nian's matter was as if they were watching something funny.
Lan Mo Xian frowned. His eyes looked at Lan Zhi like they were looking at an enemy. He knew Lan Zhi had come here to look for trouble. He's really agitated. Did he really think he could be immoral in the Prime Minister's palace?
“Third sister, today's pastries are specially made from Zhen Wei Pavilion. The third sister may have never tasted it!” Lan Zhi's voice was gentle and deliberate but the sarcasm contained within was clear. Her third sister was just a hick from the countryside, how could she have eaten such a thing before?
"What's? Third sister really never had it before? Too bad! The Zhen Wei Pavilion pastries were very new and delicious. Third sister should eat more today!” Lan Zhi smothered her mouth with a handkerchief as if she was completely shocked.
"What did you say? A few days ago, I went with Lan meimei to Zhen Pavilion for a meal. Who treats your own sister like this? Absolutely hypocritical!” The voice of the woman was heard from the banquet.
