In the morning of that day, the banquet was held as scheduled, and this time the third prince and prince, as well as Bai Sulan and Princess Luoyan were invited.
Everyone was sitting in their seats waiting for Concubine Lin to appear. Concubine Lin was very popular these days. When the emperor heard about the invitation from the Yan family, he sent a team of guards to protect Concubine Lin, for fear that something might happen to his little baby.
But it's not that everyone is smart, everyone knows this very well. This team of guards looks like they are protecting Concubine Lin, but they always make people feel like they are spying on her.
Concubine Lin is still young and has an immature personality. She can be said to be very naive. She even fell in love with someone when he saw her. The emperor was always afraid that she would accidentally wear a cuckold on him outside, so he adopted a very violent surveillance method. method.
Concubine Lin had already put on a very beautiful gray embroidered dress when she arrived. The flower patterns on it were very delicate, and she was dressed to match. It seemed that being by Princess Luoyan's side for so many years was not in vain. The whole Everyone has their own experience in matching, and there is no look like a nouveau riche suddenly taking over.
She is dignified, graceful, and full of energy. Even if she wears gray clothes that make her look very old, with her bare face, she can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
The moment Mrs. Yan saw Concubine Lin, she seemed to finally understand why the emperor promoted her successively in just a few days.
That's because this girl just stands here like a painting. Her youth is invincible, and she cannot be matched by someone like Concubine De who is already a mature woman. If she were the emperor, she would also choose Concubine Lin like this. The girl is full of vitality, unlike the concubine who is tossed and tangled in the palace, and her appearance is almost worn away by scheming.
When Concubine Lin came over, the group stood up and saluted.
After the ceremony, Concubine Lin took a look in private, and then said with some doubts: "Yesterday, the palace accidentally spilled water on a girl from your Yan family, but why didn't the girl come today?"
After hearing these words, Mrs. Yan and Yan Shuang both looked at each other and seemed to feel very embarrassed.
The person Concubine Lin was talking about was Yan Ling, but they intentionally didn't invite Yan Ling over, and didn't even tell her about the party, for fear that she would steal Yan Shuang's limelight when she showed up.
Mrs. Yan held a banquet today just to let Concubine Lin get to know Yan Shuang thoroughly, so that the two of them could walk sideways in the palace after they became good friends.
But Concubine Lin actually still misses Yan Ling
Mrs. Yan came up and said to Concubine Lin very respectfully: "The eldest girl in my family is very lazy. She is still sleeping in the yard. If the empress wants to see her, I will ask someone to wake her up. how?"
Mrs. Yan had already said this, and she thought that Concubine Lin would use this strength to let Yan Ling sleep in the yard for a while to show her kindness, but Concubine Lin seemed determined to see Yan Ling. General: "Then call her over. That girl is very smart, and I still like her."
Although Mrs. Yan was unhappy, she still winked at her servant and asked her to call Yan Ling over.
At that time, Yan Ling was lying down and resting in the room. A nanny came over, kicked open the door of the room, and then shouted loudly inside: "Is the eldest lady here? Concubine Lin is here and invites the eldest lady. Miss, go over and attend the banquet together."
Li Yi was waiting for Yan Ling to rest in the room. He was startled when he heard the voice. Then he walked to the door and said to the old woman: "The eldest lady is resting in the room. Why didn't you come in advance? Report? Coming here so recklessly will disturb the eldest lady’s rest.”
The woman didn't care what Li Yi said at all, and said angrily: "Hurry up and clean up, otherwise Concubine Lin will be anxious, and you are the only one asking!"
Li Yi's expression changed and he stared at the old woman. Since the last incident with Mrs. Zhang, many of the servants in the mansion were more respectful to them. They seemed to have noticed that Yan Ling was rising rapidly and was no longer a The previous one was a poor young lady who would be stepped on by everyone.
However, there were still some unsighted servants trying to provoke them, but Liyi was used to being honest in this house and never cared about it.
At this time, I heard Yan Ling in the room suddenly say coldly: "Who are you talking to? Are you afraid that you have forgotten what happened to Mrs. Zhang last time? You and Mrs. Zhang have been together for so many years. , why do you still have to suffer such a loss?"
When the old lady saw Yan Ling coming out, and thinking of Yan Ling's popularity these days, she quickly saluted her and said, "I'm really sorry, please move over there, everyone over there is waiting. Looking after you!"
Yan Ling saw that the mother-in-law reacted quickly and did not give herself a chance to teach her a lesson. She felt very calm in her heart. She had seen these people many times, and they were all bullying and fearful of the strong.
But this woman thought she would just let her go so easily today? That was simply wishful thinking, so she went up and grabbed the old woman by the collar and said to her: "Listen clearly to me. If you dare to talk to the girl in my room like this again, I will kill you." Life!"
The expression on the mother-in-law Yan Lingling's face was very scary, and she knew that she was telling the truth.
Recently, the eldest daughter of the Yan family has a very strong and domineering personality, and is also very harsh on her servants, making them miserable.
They just felt that Yan Ling's personality was very bad now, but they never thought about why Yan Ling's personality became like this. The servants who used to bully Yan Ling in different ways were now trembling with fear.
The mother-in-law quickly saluted Yan Ling and said, "Old slave, I will remember what the girl said."
After she had gone a long way, Li Yi turned to look at Yan Ling, and said with great respect and emotion: "Miss, why did you bother to offend those women for us servants? They are all bullies and shy of the strong. I treat you respectfully, but who knows what troubles may be caused behind the scenes? It’s not like you don’t know the character of these people, so why bother to stand up for us?”
Yan Ling felt pain in her heart when she heard this. Liyi had been by her side for a long time, but she had never protected them properly and made them suffer.
At that time, when she was entangled by everyone in the Yan family, these maids were the only ones by her side.
Now she is gradually becoming stronger and is no longer the girl who allows others to bully her.
She said to Li Yi: "As long as I protect you, we will walk sideways in this house in the future. If anyone dares to say a bad word to you, I will kill them."
