"Mother, even Ru Yue will go. This time, are we not going to do anything?" Lian Shiya asked.
"Don't worry, someone will attack her this time. We don't need to worry." Lady Xiao picked up the jade phoenix head and shook it with the hairpin. Facing the mirror, she inserted it into Lian Shiya's bun.
"Mother is saying …" Xiao Rou! " Lian Shiya's eyebrows jumped as she looked at the person in the mirror and asked.
"What do you think? Rou-Er couldn't wait to tear Lian Ruyue's five horses into pieces. This time, she has to think of a way to tear her to shreds. "
Lian Shiya's face slowly bloomed into a smile, like the evil flowers of hell. She said, "Then when Lian Rue Yue goes to Xiao Guo Manor this time, she'll be beaten like a meat bag and she won't be able to return."
"Because of your uncle, all the nobles in the capital will attend this banquet. This is also the first banquet you will attend after you become the county governor, and there will definitely be many pairs of eyes watching you. Your uncle wants to let you show your face today, so that you can display your skills in front of everyone. So, you don't need to care about these filthy things, just let them bite each other. As long as you dress up beautifully and appear, you can find a way to attract everyone's gazes. "
"Yes." When Lian Shiya heard Lady Xiao's words, she almost couldn't wait to set off. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that her makeup had faded a bit. As a result, she added another layer of rouge, making her look even more coquettish.
"Oh right, last time your uncle told you to focus your attention on the eighth and ninth princes. You have to remember to speak to them properly."
Lian Shiya's hand froze as she pursed her lips. A trace of unwillingness appeared on her face as she said, "Mother, no matter what, I'm not willing to speak with the eighth prince."
"Why?" "The eighth prince is also one of the dragons and phoenixes, and is on par with the ninth prince. Speaking of which, the eighth prince's maternal grandfather, the Duke of the Xu family, is even more powerful. Your uncle told you not to let anyone go, so don't pick and choose."
"But, but …" Lian Shiya recalled the time when she overheard Feng Ye say he loathed her, and felt that she couldn't bear such humiliation. "Eighth Prince …" "If you don't like me, I've personally heard him say that your daughter's character and birth is first class after all. She's unwilling to give in and curry favor with someone who doesn't like herself at all."
When the Xiao family heard this, they smiled. "I was wondering what happened. So that's how it is. You're going to retreat from such a small matter?"
"He doesn't like me. Is that a small matter?" Lian Shiya's face turned slightly red. She actually wasn't willing to admit that someone didn't like her at all. It was just that the eighth prince's tone that day had been too insulting.
"Of course it's a small matter. The person your father liked back then wasn't me, but Rongxue, who officially married her into the brothel. Afterwards, when I entered the house, didn't you like me? Whichever woman the man's heart was on, it all depended on how that woman did it. All those emotions and loves were illusions. Soon, they were gone. Ya Er, remember this, only you have the means. There are no men that cannot be snatched away. "
"Is that so?" Lian Shiya doubtfully asked, "Then why did mother take the initiative to be so attentive to him, and get driven out by father? Those maidservants said that you never even entered the study room. "
Hearing this, the Xiao family's expression immediately became unsightly. With a gloomy face, they said, "That's because Lian Ruyue wrongly accused me of being the bane of others. Whoever encounters me would be unlucky, so your father was afraid and refused to approach me."
"Then what should we do in the future? Mother still needs to have a son. " Lian Shiya said.
Speaking of having a son, the Xiao family once again felt a wave of unspeakable pain in their heart. The words' hit without a child 'was like a nightmare. It pestered her day and night, causing her to be unable to calm down.
She smiled and said, "Ya Er, don't worry. Your mother will find a way." Today, you just need to remember to show your best side in front of everyone. "
"Mom, don't worry." She had always known how to make use of her own beauty, but today she was going to use it to the extreme.
"Although your uncle favors the eighth prince, I always feel that the ninth prince is the most powerful one. Moreover, he looks gentle and friendly, easy to approach, not as unruly as the eighth prince. You think of a way to make him pay attention to you."
"Actually …" Lian Shiya's gaze was slightly dazed as another person appeared in her mind. "Mom, how about you call out the Fourth Prince?" Ever since she heard the eighth prince's hurtful words, Feng Qianyue's handsome face had frequently surfaced in her mind. When he looked at her, there was always a faint smile on his face. This smile was like a strand of spring wind that silently blew into her heart and blew a pool of spring water.
"Fourth Prince?" A moment later, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't even think about him, he didn't even have a mother concubine. I heard that he was only occasionally interested in the Emperor, born from a palace maid, and that he didn't even know the name of this palace maid. He was brought up by the old mama, and he wasn't too close to the Emperor either.
"Oh, I see." Lian Shiya couldn't help but feel a sense of regret as her heart was filled with melancholy.
"Alright, it's time. We should set off." Madam Xiao picked up the Eight Treasures hairpin and placed it on Lian Shiya's head. She couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly, "Beautiful, it's really too beautiful."
A carriage was parked in front of the Residence of Prime Minister. The two brothers, Lian Yan Qing and Lian Yan Feng, had already departed. The Xiao family, Lian Shiya, Lian Yue and the others followed behind.
Lian Yueyue arrived before Lian Shiya, and a moment later, Lian Shiya arrived late. Behind her was a large group of maids, and ever since she became the county lord, her food and clothing and her usual demeanor had risen to a whole new level.
Lian Yueyue saw that she had obviously gone through the most meticulous dressing today, the bright red satin, the pink fringed jacket, the pink pleated skirt with a silver plum embroidered on the hem, vivid and lifelike; wearing a vermilion roseate cape, bright red, looking like the splendor of a thriving world; with a difficult crescent moon bun on her head, and a pink muslin palace flower on her hair, as well as an innocent romance among the magnificence.
She walked over with a slim and delicate figure, a pretty face, and eyes brimming with the splendor of spring water. Her full lips were like a cherry, and her eyebrows were like Dai Shan. Every frown and smile was captivating.
Looking at her overbearing beauty, she had the ambition to conquer everything.
As for the Xiao Clan's member that was accompanying her, she had completely swept away her decadence. Her body was covered in a large, red-colored, golden-colored, sleeveless sleeve shirt. A petticoat with a fringes and a phoenix tail. She was dressed as a proper wife, wearing a golden brocade hairpin and a ruby earring.
The two of them suddenly felt that they had returned to the past, that everything was better than before.
Lian Shiya lightly glanced at Lian Ruyue and revealed a disdainful smile.
Lian Yue's tranquil eyes watched as she approached and a trace of a smile appeared on her lips. Seeing that Lian Shiya was about to get on the carriage, she said, "Chase my carriage over here."
Senior Servant Tai stepped forward and said, "Yes, Eldest Miss. The craftsmen are working night and day. The carriage was finally completed an hour ago, and it's all here for you."
