Every time it appeared in front of everyone, Auntie Xiao would let Lian Shi Ya dress up and attend the party. Whether it was him or not, everyone knew that there was a Third Miss that was even more dazzling and outstanding than the Eldest Miss. This was Auntie Xiao's wishful thinking. She wanted Lian Shi Ya's radiance to completely cover Lian Si Yue, and that way, people would gradually forget about Lian Si Yue. They would only remember this Heavenly Immortal like Third Miss.
"Let's go. This time, there will be a few princes who will come. You must seize this opportunity to leave a wonderful impression on them." Auntie Xiao raised her hand and stroke the Scarlet Golden Jade Steps on her head as she spoke.
Lian Shi Ya nodded with confidence, and then asked softly, "Has everything that Second Aunt said been arranged?"
Auntie Xiao patted her hands, and said with a gloomy tone, "Relax, everything has been arranged, after tonight, Lian Si Yue will never have a chance to rise again."
"Mm. I've been waiting for this moment for far too long. I can't wait any longer." The corner of Lian Shi Ya's eyes twitched.
Accompanied by the servants, Lian Shi Ya walked towards the direction of the birthday banquet hall with graceful steps, like a moon surrounded by stars. When she turned around, her beautiful eyes darkened, and her peerlessly beautiful face revealed a ruthless expression. A moment later, that expression perfectly blended into her shallow smile.
When Lian Shi Ya went to the birthday banquet hall first, the Auntie Xiao immediately called for him and asked, "How is the situation with the First Lady?"
Senior Servant Zhen lowered his head and replied, "I went to take a look today twice, and I was in bed twice but was unable to get out. Servant looked carefully, and First Lady's complexion was very pale, and even went to find out from Fuan House's servant that he had not eaten breakfast today, and had only drunk a small bowl of rice porridge for lunch.
Auntie Xiao nodded her head, revealing a satisfied expression, "Looks like we won't be able to attend today's birthday banquet. Go and guard at Fuan House, inform me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, Servant will go and watch." The Senior Servant Zhen hurriedly left.
Auntie Xiao turned around, the smile on her face slowly froze, and she said to the servant girl behind him: "Help me comb my makeup."
Something big was going to happen tonight, so he couldn't allow any more mistakes.
More than half of the guests had already arrived in the banquet hall, and the people who came to offer their birthday congratulations were Lian Yan Qing's colleagues in the imperial court, her relatives in the Lian Jia, and some royal family members.
Among them, Xiao Zhen Hai from the Xiao Family had been ordered by the Emperor to be outside and was unable to hurry over. He was led by Madam Xiao to the place by a pair of children, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Rou.
"Mother, why hasn't my cousin appeared yet?" Xiao Rou was impatient to see Lian Shi Ya, so he looked around and said.
"If you don't prepare yourself, your aunt will not let you out."
"Mother, look. Cousin is here." Xiao Rou's eyes lit up, she pointed to the entrance and shouted.
Everyone followed Xiao Rou's voice and looked over. They saw Prime Minister's Palace, Lian Shi Ya move her lotus steps, bringing a burst of immortal energy into the hall, when everyone's eyes fell on her body, she instantly became the focus of attention —
Her face was crystal clear and delicate, like a transparent soft jade, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like the autumn waves, and in her eyes, there was a light smile, and the pearl on her head was like a phoenix hairpin, the phoenix spreading its wings seemed to soar into the sky, lighting up her noble and elegant temperament.
Seeing this, the old Madame's mother, who was in charge, nodded her head in joy. She was growing more and more satisfied with her grandson.
Lian Shi Ya naturally noticed the admiration from the crowd. She pursed her red lips and walked in front of her mother and nodded, "Old Ancestor, your granddaughter wishes you good fortune and a life longer than Nanshan. This is my congratulatory gift to you." As she spoke, she took out the purple conifer and offered it up with both hands.
"These clothes are extremely delicate, the lotus flowers are lifelike, and they are arranged into the words' birthday ', this shows the intentions of Third Miss." Madame Chen, the Minister of Rites praised.
"That's right, Third Miss is really a clever person." On the side, the President's Office's Madame Liu also praised.
Lian Shi Ya had stolen Lian Si Yue's limelight every single time, so her good image had already been meticulously planned out by the Auntie Xiao and deeply engraved itself into people's hearts.
Hearing everyone's praises, Lian Shi Ya was extremely pleased, but she maintained her humble expression and said: "Madame Chen, Madame Liu, Miss Yin, you guys are flattering me too much."
The old Madame looked at the gift with a smile, seemingly very satisfied. "Shiya has always done her best for me, quickly sit down and chat with the little sisters."
Madam Xiao nodded and did not say anymore.
Lian Shi Ya did not think too much about it. This aunt had always been cold and proud, so she sat down beside Xiao Rou and said affectionately: "Cousin sister, why haven't you come to find me this time? I missed you."
Xiao Rou said, "I went to Southern external ancestor's house, and I brought you some new things. Mother said that it's not appropriate to bring them here today, you can go to my house another day."
"Alright, Cousin, you are so considerate." Lian Shi Ya and Xiao Rou were born on the same day of the same year and the relationship between the two was extremely close.
"Where's the Eldest Miss? I heard that she had already returned from the Yao City. Madam Xiao suddenly asked.
Xiao Rou coldly snorted, and said, "Hmph, how can she have the face to appear? After doing such a thing in Yao City, if it was me, I would have already gone into hiding."
When Lian Shi Ya heard someone bring up this matter, although she was happy in her heart, she still covered Xiao Rou's mouth, and said: "Cousin sister, lower your voice, if someone hears you, something bad will happen."
Lian Nian Xin, who was sitting beside Second Wife, had thought about it over and over again these past few days. When she met with Old Madame's birthday, he finally released it early, and when she saw Lian Shi Ya who was surrounded by other people looking up to the moon, he could not help but say angrily: "Mother, look at her, she is just a concubinage. She has such a high profile, how shameless is she?"
The Hughes coldly curled her lips, and said, "Hmph, an aunt wouldn't be able to show off no matter how pretentious she is. When we get rid of that little bitch Lian Si Yue, it'll be her turn, and at that time, you'll be the face of the Lian Jia."
