While singing and singing, Mrs. Zhou's face turned ugly, but she saw Zhuang Yushan walking in with Zhuang Shiyang leaning against her.
Han Yan smiled at him and said, "Father, Sister Yushan."
When Zhuang Shiyang saw her, he was naturally very angry. What happened in the morning made him lose face in front of the officials. Although everyone came to congratulate, everyone knew that he didn't like this daughter, and this daughter happened to be married to King Xuanqing. King Xuanqing was so powerful that he would have to bow to Han Yan when he saw her in the future. Thinking of this, he became more and more of irritation.
Zhuang Yushan's heart was filled with hatred. He thought that he could finally feel proud about the prince's affairs. Zhuang Hanyan could only become a jealous wife that no one wanted, but now, there was news that King Xuanqing wanted to marry her as his princess. Not to mention how noble and magnificent the Xuanqing Prince's Palace is in the Dazong, Prince Xuanqing alone is the dream lover of many boudoir daughters. But how could Zhuang Hanyan, a woman with no talent, no beauty, and no favor, have such a good life!
She smiled and said: "I heard about the matter between the prince and the fourth sister, so I am here to say congratulations to the fourth sister." She looked at Han Yan: "It's just that since I have become the princess, the fourth sister should not show her face like this. For the best, if I humiliate the prince’s face, I’m afraid there will be rumors outside about the Zhuang Mansion’s fault.”
When Zhuang Shiyang heard this, he immediately said angrily: "As a daughter, if you don't stay in the house and run around, huh, don't think that you can be lawless just because you have climbed to a high branch!"
Who would treat his own daughter with such harsh words? Han Yan lowered his head and raised a sarcastic smile on his lips. Perhaps it was because his blood was not flowing in his body
She said: "My father doesn't know. King Xuanqing's proposal of marriage is also a decent thing for the Zhuang Mansion. It's a pity that Han Yan hasn't got any jewelry since her mother passed away." She was dressed very plainly. Compared with the rich and gorgeous Zhuang Yushan, it is simply a world of difference. Seeing Zhuang Shiyang's expression of embarrassment, she added: "So Han Yan went out to buy some clothes and jewelry for himself, so as not to be blamed by King Xuanqing in the future. That would be the real loss of dignity of the Zhuang Mansion."
The unmarried princess was so shabbily dressed. If word got out, King Xuanqing would be angry and it would really be detrimental to the Zhuang Mansion. Zhuang Shiyang coughed twice and said, "In that case, go and add some jewelry."
Zhuang Yushan said a little bitterly: "Why do you, fourth sister, say that? When you become a princess in the future, you will naturally have endless silks and satins, so why do you need to buy more for yourself?"
Han Yan also smiled slightly: "That's right. I think Miss Li is about to marry into Prince Wei's palace. The prince also likes her very much. When the prince and concubine get married, they will love each other. In this way, he can't take care of Sister Yushan. Yushan Sister needs to make careful preparations for herself. Shu Hong." She turned around and ordered: "Just give all the jewelry I just bought to Sister Yushan, Sister Yushan will need it."
Ji Lan snickered in her heart, no wonder Han Yan had just bought a lot of tacky and cheap jewelry on the way home. At that time, she was still wondering why the young lady's vision had become so bad. Now it seems that he had expected that the second young lady would find trouble.
Zhuang Yushan was so angry at Han Yan's words that he almost vomited blood. Han Yan's words, both overtly and covertly, meant that she, Zhuang Yushan, was a concubine, and there was an imperial concubine on top of her. Naturally, she did not dare to go against the Crown Princess. Not to mention that the Crown Princess was more noble than herself. The title of Right Prime Minister alone was something that she, a concubine of a fifth-rank official, could not offend. Feeling depressed, Zhuang Yushan almost gritted his silver teeth when he saw Han Yan's calm and calm expression, and said bitterly: "Thank you, fourth sister, then."
Han Yan smiled and said nothing.
Zhou heard the tit-for-tat in the words of the two sisters, and felt angry at Han Yan's arrogance, but she did not dare to say anything easily. Now Han Yan's status is more noble, and she cannot move around casually. However, Da Zhou's eyes flickered, and she smoothed things over with a smile: "Sisters should help each other. In the future, when Yan'er enters Prince Xuanqing's palace, and Yu'er enters Prince Wei's palace, they should keep in touch with each other."
Zhuang Yushan snorted disdainfully, but Han Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Yushan."
After practicing Tai Chi with Zhou and the others, Han Yan returned to Qingqiu Garden. Han Yan sat down on the couch and felt extremely sore all over. Today's twists and turns really took a lot of strength from her. Then he frowned and pressed his forehead with one hand.
Ji Lan brought tea for her to drink. After hesitating for a while, he still looked at Han Yan and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, that Abi today..."
When Han Yan heard this, he paused in his movements and said, "How?"
Ji Lan glanced at Shu Hong and said cautiously: "Miss, don't you believe her?"
Han Yan asked back: "Do you think I should believe it?"
Ji Lan was a little hesitant. Seeing Han Yan looking at her with encouragement, he understood that his lady wanted to hear what he had to say, so he said, "I don't think that Abi is lying. But the lady's last words were... She didn’t tell the truth today, and I don’t understand.”
Han Yan smiled and said to Shu Hong, who was silent on the side: "Shu Hong, didn't you find any problem?"
Shu Hong nodded, then shook her head, and finally looked at Han Yan and said two words: "Master..."
"That's right." Han Yan nodded approvingly: "That's the problem."
"Miss..." Ji Lan still didn't understand and looked at Han Yan in confusion.
"Abi put everything on the master." Han Yan said: "But she forgot that the master was just a small official at the time, how could he have such great power to deal with a group of people. Even the servants in the mansion, as long as they It’s not just a sign of death. If you kill someone or drive someone away without any reason, you will be investigated by the government.”
Ji Lan was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, no wonder, Abi kept saying at that time that everything was done by the master, but now when Han Yan said that, he felt something was wrong.
"She didn't mention anyone else at all, which is very strange. In any case, the matter about King Donghou cannot be concealed by one or two people. Even though this matter is very hidden, in Abi's description, a related person No one is there. It’s like it’s just a matter between mother and master. This is too abnormal.”
Han Yan's hand holding the tea cup tightened: "And her biggest flaw is herself."
This time it was Shu Hong who was confused. She looked at Han Yan and asked, "Miss, what do you mean?"
"She has such superb embroidery skills." Han Yan said with a smile: "I have seen her embroidery in that basket. Although she deliberately concealed it, it was still very skillful. With such skills, she can easily go anywhere Even if she works as an embroiderer in a wealthy family, she won't be as miserable as she is now."
