An Xin was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly protected her head with her hands.
At the critical moment, a man rescued An Xin.
An Xin looked up and was a little surprised. It was Ning Yan!
Seeing that he was still hugging her waist, An Xin quickly took a step back and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me."
Ning Yan looked at her, squinting his peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile: "It's a small matter."
Then he asked, "Miss An, have you taken good care of my dagger?"
An Xin was still a little afraid of Ning Yan, a pervert who wanted to kill and dump corpses at the slightest disagreement. She was a little scared, but her face remained calm: "I kept it carefully. I didn't expect to see the prince today, so I didn't bring it with me. If there is a chance, I will definitely return it intact."
Ning Yan chuckled: "How can I take back something I gave away? Besides, even if you want to take it back, I will come and get it."
At this time, a woman in a light pink dress trotted over.
She looked pitiful, looking at Ning Yan, and asked worriedly: "Cousin, are you okay?"
"No problem."
Ning Yan glanced at the woman in pink and answered calmly.
"Who is this..." The woman in pink noticed An Xin's presence, her heart suddenly tightened, and she asked tentatively.
An Xin said calmly: "Duke Anguo's Mansion, An Xin."
The pink-dressed lady introduced herself politely: "I am Chen Yan, the cousin of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."
As they spoke, the two of them looked at each other calmly.
An Xin knew that the woman in front of her, wearing a pink dress and with a pitiful look in her eyes, was the only surviving bloodline of Ning Yan's maternal grandfather, Ning Yan's cousin Chen Yan.
But based on a woman's intuition, Chen Yan is not a good person.
Chen Yan was also looking at An Xin. Seeing that An Xin had an extremely beautiful appearance and exuded elegance in her every move, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
Considering that it was her cousin who rescued her just now, she felt even more hostile.
An Xin was keenly aware of Chen Yan's hostility, but she didn't want to get entangled here, so she quickly said goodbye to the two of them.
When I turned around, I found that An Xin was also rescued by another man.
The man was tall and handsome, but there was a hint of viciousness between his brows.
Isn't this her fiancé, the current Crown Prince Ning Mu? At this moment, he was comforting An Rou in a gentle voice.
After seeing this, An Xin sneered, felt disdain for the two people in her heart, and walked towards them.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my sister!"
Hearing this, Ning Mu's eyes finally moved away from An Rou. He glanced at An Xin casually: "No need to be polite, we are all family!"
At this moment, An Rou still looked frightened, curled up in his arms, looking pitiful and sympathetic.
Ning Mu felt even more distressed when he saw the beautiful woman with tears in her eyes.
Compared to An Xin's beautiful face, he prefers a gentle, kind and talented woman like An Rou.
What a pity, she is a concubine...
Because An Xin was there, Ning Mu didn't say anything and just turned and left.
Because of the carriage accident, An Xin didn't have much interest and just strolled around casually.
An Xin just bought whatever she liked. She bought seven or eight sets of dresses alone, which made An Rou feel jealous and uncomfortable.
Anxin was very favored and received a high monthly salary, and from time to time, she also received rewards from her grandmother.
It's just a pity for An Rou. She probably used up most of her savings to buy two sets of clothes.
Thinking of An Rou's frustrated look, An Xin felt very comfortable.
As the lights come on in the evening, the street stalls are very lively and the crowds are bustling.
The most lively place today is Xiaoxiang Pavilion where the Poetry and Lantern Festival is being held.
Xiaoxiang Pavilion is located in the east of Beijing, on the bank of the Huaijiang River. It is a semi-open attic building where people can recite poems, drink and have fun, or have conversations with friends and confidants about the philosophy of life or the affairs of state.
Today's Poetry Lantern Festival is open to all, whether high-ranking officials, sages, or ordinary people, as long as they have talent.
In addition, today's Poetry and Lantern Festival is not only a place for literati and poets to express their ideas, but also a place for young boys and girls to meet their true love.
Lanterns were hung high in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, curtains were swaying gently, string music was melodious, singing girls were dancing gracefully, and delicacies from all over the world were on the banquet.
A woman wearing a water blue Liuxian skirt, with her hair combed down, and as light as a fairy in the sky, slowly walked into Xiaoxiang Pavilion. This person was the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty, Su Ya.
Su Yalian walked slowly, followed by four pretty maids. As soon as she entered Xiaoxiang Pavilion, someone came to lead the way.
The maid respectfully took her to a private room that had been booked in advance.
It's called a private room, but it's just separated by a bamboo curtain, and you can vaguely see the people at the next table.
As soon as Su Ya sat down, she kept looking towards the door, her eyes always on the guests coming in and out, as if she was looking for something.
In order to attend a banquet with peace of mind, one always has to arrange the time just right, so as not to appear anxious nor to be neglected.
The carriage of Duke Anguo's mansion stopped at the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion. An Xin lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
I looked up and around, only to see a woman in blue looking at me with surprise in her eyes.
This is the original owner's old friend, the current prime minister's legitimate daughter, Su Ya
An Xin understood what was going on and responded with a smile, which resulted in a lot of surprised looks.
She had her hair tied up in a flying bun, with two golden hairpins, and wore a red long skirt of a new style with intricate and luxurious embroidery. This dress is difficult for most people to control, and even looks a bit tacky when worn.
But An Xin's appearance is more flamboyant and beautiful. When she wears it, she is as beautiful as a peach or plum, and her every frown and smile is charming and extraordinary.
When everyone saw An Xin, they all recognized her and were amazed but also showed a little contempt.
An Xin's name is well-known in the capital. In addition to her appearance, people often talk about how arrogant and rude she is.
The next person to come in was An Rou in a white dress. Her hair was tied to the side with three delicate silver-inlaid jade hairpins inserted in it. She looked pretty and elegant, like a willow swaying in the wind.
She looked at the red color in front of her and secretly hated herself for letting An Xin steal everyone's attention!
At this time, An Xin saw Su Ya's maid coming over. After the maid bowed, she led An Xin to find Su Ya. They walked up the stairs and An Xin was brought to Su Ya.
An Rou didn't want to go with her, so she went to find the noble ladies who were on good terms with her and sat next to them.
As soon as the original owner came up, she saw Su Ya smiling and saying to her: "Xinxin, your makeup today is very good."
An Xin was pulled over by her to sit down with her. She said: "I was bored today, so I just drew this randomly."
"You put on such a great makeup! I originally thought my outfit today was pretty good, but after seeing you I feel like it's lost some of its color." Su Ya looked at An Xin and praised her repeatedly.
An Xin smiled and replied: "This is the peach blossom makeup I developed. Come to my house someday and I will teach you."
