As soon as the Lan Mansion's carriage stopped, the servants of the Lan Mansion moved a low stool to the edge of the carriage so that the second girl Lan Shuiyuan and the third girl Lan Shui Tian could sit down.
Butler Yang, who was welcoming guests at Prince Xiu's Mansion, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the Lan family's carriage.
He had been told by Yu Qingluo in advance to take a good look at the eldest daughter of the Lan family.
Therefore, as soon as he welcomed Princess Jinxiu into the princess's mansion, he immediately turned around and came to the carriage of Lan Mansion.
However, before he could walk in, he saw two figures hurriedly walking next to him. The two of them stood directly next to Lan Shuiyuan, and then they heard the girl who looked very plain but still couldn't hide her charm said with a smile, "Second sister, I'm sorry, I'm late. .”
The servants of the Lan family naturally recognized the eldest girl of the Lan family, so they were stunned for a moment, but did not stop her.
Lan Shuiyuan and Lan Shuitian were also stunned. They subconsciously widened their eyes and asked in disbelief, "Lan Shuiqing? Why are you here?"
Lan Shuiqing blinked at her and said innocently, "I just came a step too late. Why did the second sister lose such a temper?"
"You, you, didn't you say you couldn't come because you were sick?" Damn, damn, damn, Lan Shuiqing is so good-looking, but now that she is here, is there any room for her to speak
No matter what, she must not be allowed to appear here. "Since you are not in good health, go back quickly and don't embarrass yourself here."
"What did the second sister say? My name is also on the invitation. How rude would it be to be absent from Princess Xiu's banquet?"
"You, you did it on purpose, you clearly..."
Butler Yang's eyes narrowed and he smiled lightly in his heart. Although there is no fight between these sisters and brothers in Prince Xiu's palace, he is knowledgeable after all, but after listening to a few words, you can understand one or two of them.
It seems that the life of the eldest girl of the Lan family in the Lan Mansion must not have been satisfactory.
"Miss Lan..." Butler Yang stepped forward, interrupted what Lan Shuiyuan wanted to say, and asked with a smile, "Why are you standing here and not going in?"
Although Lan Shuiyuan bared his teeth in front of Lan Shuiqing, he still knew how to restrain himself when he saw someone like Butler Yang. He even smiled, gave a slight salute, and whispered softly, "Forgive me, Butler Yang, it's really my family. The eldest sister is a little uncomfortable, so the third sister and I are discussing to send the eldest sister back first to avoid losing etiquette in front of the princess. We don’t want the carriage to be here and block the road. "
After saying that, she immediately winked at the maid behind her, and the maid immediately stepped forward to help Lan Shuiqing, "Miss, I will take you back right now."
"Hey, wait a minute." Butler Yang spoke first before Lan Shuiqing could refute.
Just kidding, the eldest girl of the Lan family is the protagonist of this lotus appreciation banquet. If she is gone, what else will the banquet be about
Butler Yang immediately waved to a nanny standing at the gate of the palace. When the nanny arrived, he said to Lan Shuiyuan, "Since we have arrived at the palace, there is no reason to go back? Don't worry, Miss Lan. There are doctors in the palace, and there are also guest rooms where Miss Lan can rest. What's more, our princess has excellent medical skills. If Miss Lan is really sick, she can rest assured that the princess is here."
Lan Shuiqing's eyes lit up. If he could meet Princess Xiu in this way, it would be a lot less detours.
Lan Shuiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but his sleeve was pulled by Lan Shuitian behind him.
Lan Shuitian laughed, "What Butler Yang said is true, but this is a long-standing problem for the eldest sister. How dare she bother the princess? Since Butler Yang said so, we sisters have no choice but to trouble Butler Yang."
"You're welcome." Butler Yang turned around and said to the nanny behind him, "Just take the eldest daughter of the Lan family to the Yafeng Courtyard to rest and take care of her."
"Yes." The nanny made a respectful gesture of invitation to Lan Shuiqing.
Lan Shuiqing calmly calmed down the look in his eyes and took her to the backyard to rest, which was exactly what she wanted. Lan Shuiyuan and the others didn't want her to appear in front of everyone and steal their limelight, so they simply kept her in the room. But they didn't know that doing so gave her a chance to achieve the purpose of her trip.
They had done her a favor unintentionally. Lan Shuiqing smiled, nodded slightly to Butler Yang, and entered Prince Xiu's Mansion without any hesitation.
As soon as she left, Lan Shuitian whispered to Butler Yang, "Steward Yang, although the family scandal should not be made public, there are some things that have to be said. Our eldest sister is unwell. Once she gets sick, she will sometimes do some outrageous things. My personality will also become very weird and withdrawn. Although it is not a big deal, there are many distinguished guests in the house today, and I am afraid that I will offend the distinguished guests, and we will not be able to explain it to our parents when we get home. So can you trouble Butler Yang to let someone rest in the eldest sister's house? We will watch from outside the house to prevent her from wandering around. When the party is over, we will take her back."
In fact, she really wanted the maid next to her to follow her, but the mama's expressionless attitude of refusing to let anyone come from thousands of miles away clearly meant that she didn't want anyone other than Rouge to follow her, so she had to settle for the next best thing. Let’s talk to Butler Yang first.
After hearing this, Butler Yang was indeed very surprised, and then nodded seriously, "Miss Lan, please don't worry, I will go and order people to watch now, ladies, please do so."
After saying that, he asked his servants to lead the two girls from the Lan family into the house, and he hurriedly walked towards Lan Shuiqing's retreating figure.
However, when he reached the corner, his heels suddenly turned, the serious expression on his face disappeared without a trace, and his posture became much lazier.
Becoming weird and withdrawn? Ha, in their palace, Nian Nian, who is even more weird and withdrawn, has not shown up.
Look at the time, the Queen Mother should be here soon, and then he will report to the Princess.
It's okay for Miss Lan to rest in Yafeng Courtyard. The princess can go directly there and see people in a while, so she won't have to spend more time.
Thinking of this, Butler Yang turned around and returned to the gate of the palace to welcome guests. He just ordered a guard on the side to tell him when he saw the Queen Mother coming.
At this moment, Lan Shuiqing, who was brought into Yafeng Courtyard, sat quietly on the stool.
The nun outside was from Prince Xiu's mansion, so she had to avoid her sight before she could go out.
This is the backyard, which makes it more convenient for her to move around. After all, the range of movement of the female family members attending the banquet is also limited. It is not like she is doing this now. She can go out in a while and look for the princess's yard.
She never thought about meeting Princess Xiu in public. After all, what she asked for was about her mother's... illness, which was a private matter.
