MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 47 bright
Chapter 47 47. Bright eyes
Wen Mengsheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. My father still has something important for me to do. It won't be too late to go to the academy in two days."
"I see."
"It's you, didn't my father tell me a long time ago to win over Miss Wei? What are you doing standing here alone?"
At the mention of this, Wen Yuwei's eyes became more jealous. Following her gaze, it turned out to be Bai Sihan.
Aren't there conflicts between the Bai family and the Wei family?
Why do the two of them get along so well?
“The new second young lady of the Bai family is very clever. She managed to coax Sister Lan Xuan to look at her with admiration only twice, and now she’s become a special guest, hum.”
Wen Mengsheng frowned and scolded in a low voice.
"In that case, why should you go forward? What are you doing here? Don't forget the purpose of your father bringing you to Dongdu. If you don't even have the idea of fighting, then I think you should come back as soon as possible. Home, just find an ordinary person to marry, why bother saying such harsh words here."
After saying that, he pushed her on the back, his eyes full of warning, gesturing for her to come over quickly.
Just when Wen Yuwei was about to walk over, she heard the boy outside the door suddenly shouting loudly.
“The eldest prince has arrived, the sixth prince has arrived, and the ninth prince has arrived.”
A group of people walked over with a powerful stride, accompanied by some young men from aristocratic families, and the guests all looked at them.
The eldest prince was seen wearing bright yellow brocade clothes embroidered with dragons, with a huge east pearl crowned in front of his bun.
Nearly thirty years old, he looks much younger than the eldest brother of the Feng family. He looks roughly like Emperor Qi, with resolute brows and a pine-like posture.
On the other hand, the sixth prince beside him was too gentle, while the ninth prince looked more feminine.
Wei Lanxuan saw several highnesses approaching and immediately led everyone to salute them.
“I have met His Highness the First Prince, His Highness the Sixth Prince, and His Highness the Ninth Prince.”
The ladies who followed also bowed politely, not daring to go beyond the rules.
Feng Jinyao and Bai Siruo were squatting at the back. They were dressed simply today, so they didn't attract much attention.
While everyone was greeting the princes, Feng Jinyao secretly glanced at the ninth prince.
She had a very bad impression of the Ninth Prince in her previous life. After he successfully ascended the throne, he became a bloodthirsty king. He killed innocent people indiscriminately and concocted many unprecedented criminal laws, making the world full of innocent souls.
Today, he is wearing a robe with dark silver lines. His long black hair is not tied up, but tied behind his back with a jade-colored ribbon. There is an impatient look in his eyes.
Dark eyes quietly scanned everyone present with an indifferent expression.
"Get up, today is your Wei family's banquet, no need to be polite. I and my royal brothers are just here to join in the fun, Miss Wei, there is no need to be polite, we will become a family in the future, so it is not too late to be polite."
The person who spoke was the eldest prince, and his words were somewhat cheerful and polite, which made people feel like spring breeze.
It's a pity that those who know the inside story know that he and the Ninth Prince have been at odds with each other for a long time, and it was just a superficial greeting.
After hearing what he said, Wei Lanxuan sighed in her heart. Thinking of the past, her eyes were slightly red, but she showed a decent and slightly shy smile in a flash.
“The fact that the three princes are here today makes the whole Wei family so prosperous. We also invite the three princes to serve as chairman.”
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation, and the eldest prince smiled and took a step forward. However, the sixth prince next to him looked at Wei Lanxuan and the ninth prince a few more times, his joking intent clearly evident.
After the ladies present bowed, they all looked at the princes quietly, with their faces flushed and their eyes full of spring.
With their status, it is more than enough for them to marry into a noble family and become the head wives, but if they want to marry into the royal family, they may have to suffer a bit in terms of status.
The eldest prince already has a main concubine, but there are still two vacancies for the side concubines. If you are interested in competing for them, this is an opportunity. The Sixth Prince has always been a transparent person, but he has a beautiful face, a delicate mind, and behaves like a humble gentleman to everyone, which has endeared him to many young ladies.
The Ninth Prince holds a high and powerful position, and his mother's family is very powerful. Even if the position of the principal concubine is already reserved, there are still those who are brave enough to compete for the side concubine.
“Sima Zhao’s heart does not know whether the decree granting marriage will be issued today.”
Bai Siruo lowered his voice and spoke quietly to Feng Jinyao, but he never thought that he would not get a response. When he turned around, he saw her looking in Wei Lanxuan's direction somewhat silently.
“What are you looking at?” Bai Siruo pushed Feng Jinyao’s shoulder.
Wei Lanxuan and the Ninth Prince are direct cousins. Logically speaking, even if there is no love between men and women, there should be more intimacy between the two of them. But when the Ninth Prince glanced at Wei Lanxuan just now, his eyes did not change. There is no love, not even a bit of brother-sister friendship, which is a bit strange.
However, these were just her conjectures and it was not easy to share them with outsiders, so she changed the subject.
“Look at what Bai Sihan is doing.”
Looking along her gaze, she saw Bai Sihan's expression of wanting to resist but also welcoming, and Bai Siruo's eyes were a little more sarcastic.
Bai Sihan was standing behind Wei Lanxuan. Naturally, when the eldest prince and others were talking to Wei Lanxuan, she was the closest.
Suppress the ecstasy and nervousness in your heart, this is your first time meeting a member of the royal family, so you must not be careless.
After everyone sat down, she actually took the tea cup from the maid next to her and walked over.
“The eldest prince uses it slowly.”
She showed what she thought was the prettiest side of her face and tried to look like a lady, which made the eldest prince look at her twice.
“The girl in the house is really beautiful.”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Sihan wanted to crawl into the ground.
She originally thought that she would become powerful and catch the prince's attention, but little did she know that the princes had never seen anything like her, and even the concubines in the palace were prettier than her, so they did not notice her.
Wei Lanxuan frowned, she was very contemptuous of Bai Sihan's way of lowering her status. Fortunately, she had regarded her as a sister before, but she didn't expect that she was such a shameless thing.
"The eldest prince has misunderstood. This is the granddaughter of the concubine Bai Xiangshu. She came to Beijing to celebrate Mrs. Bai's birthday a few days ago."
“Oh, I am blind. Miss Bai, I’m sorry.”
The word "concubine" pierced into Bai Sihan's heart like a needle and a cone. She hated these two words the most in her life.
Unfortunately, this kind of scene is not the place for her to get angry. She suppresses the sadness and anger in her heart and puts on a decent smile on her face.
"The eldest prince has promoted his daughter..."
Just as he was about to say a few words, he was stopped by Liang Luo and Wen Yuwei.
They had met the prince several times before following Wei Lanxuan, so they were much calmer than her.
Standing beside Wei Lanxuan, he would interject words from time to time, but forced Bai Sihan out of the way.
Hell and heaven are only for a moment.
