The Reborn Noble Girl is Hard to Find

Chapter 25: Night banquet in the palace

Views:

Mother Chen still had a look of hatred on her face when she said it: "Who didn't know she was pretending to be ill? She even picked up the musical score. What a bastard. After all, she is the legitimate young lady in the house."

When Han Yan heard this, she just laughed and said, "How is Xing'er's matter?"

That Xing'er was not born at home, my mother was doing sewing business in a village. Zhou asked the servant to throw Xing'er's body in a mass grave. Han Yan had someone find a coffin and bury it, but there was no monument. He also asked someone to give her a bag of silver, saying it was from Myolie.

Mother Chen looked at her young lady: "Young lady is too soft-hearted. She is no more than a maid. If the master finds out..."

"Mom," Han Yan looked at her seriously: "I'm not doing this for her, but for Aunt Wan." And this was what she owed to Aunt Wan.

If she hadn't instigated Aunt Mei in front of her, Aunt Mei would not have thought of poisoning, the Zhou family would not have followed her plan, and Xing'er would not have died innocently and tragically. Han Yan felt sad. In this life, for the person she wanted to protect, had she actually killed an innocent life

Mother Chen sighed and thought for a while: "Aunt Wan is also a poor person, she is the same Zhou family." As she said this, she became angry: "She is just a concubine, and she even claimed to be sick and did not come to see our girl. This Such a cold demeanor is really abominable!”

Han Yan replied nonchalantly: "Don't worry, she just wants to be cold, and I'm afraid she will come to you soon to please her."

Mother Chen was stunned and looked at Han Yan with some confusion, but Han Yan just started reading a book.

At this time, Aunt Wan was in seclusion in the Buddhist hall, and Aunt Mei was banned. At the palace night banquet three days later, wouldn't only the Zhou family be able to go

Although Xing'er's death was an accident, in the end it was still on Zhou's mind, and Aunt Mei had no way to compete for her favor. How could someone as ambitious as Mr. Zhou let go of this opportunity to shine at the night banquet

And she, Zhuang Hanyan, the legitimate daughter of the Zhuang Mansion, has naturally seen more of the world than Zhuang Yushan. Even for the night banquet, the Zhou family will definitely come to please her, hoping to get some palace news from her. Baba naturally wants to know about the connections of those noble ladies, the topics they are passionate about, how to behave appropriately, and how to behave in a gentle manner.

But how do they know that they will definitely agree to obey

Mr. Zhou, in this life, not only will he not be able to make a big show of himself, but he will probably make a fool of himself.

Three days later in the morning, Han Yan was woken up from bed by Mother Chen at dawn.

Seeing that it was still early in the day outside, Han Yan nuzzled against the warm quilt eagerly and said vaguely: "Let me sleep for a while, it's still early to say hello..."

Mother Chen said anxiously: "My good girl, I'm afraid you have forgotten that today is the day of the palace banquet, so you have to freshen up."

Hearing the word "palace banquet", Han Yan regained consciousness for a moment, but after rubbing his eyes, he retreated into the bed and muttered: "There is nothing to prepare."

But Mother Chen was reluctant: "Girl, don't say that. The palace banquet is very important. All the noble ladies from the capital will be there. The girl must leave a good name."

These connections in the palace were indeed what she lacked. Thinking of this, Han Yan knew that she couldn't be careless. Although she was reluctant, she climbed out of bed slowly.

Ji Lan and Shu Hong had already lit the stove and were waiting for her. When they saw her coming, they helped her wash up and gave her the stove. Han Yan sat in front of the dressing mirror and dozed off, but Ji Lan was in trouble behind him.

"What kind of hair do you want to wear, miss?"

Han Yan said: "You can comb your hair how you usually do."

Ji Lan became anxious: "How can that be done? The palace banquet must not be careless. Miss, how about a fairy bun?"

Han Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not going to sing and dance, so why should I comb my hair so delicately? This palace banquet is to celebrate the great victory in the northwest. If I stand out in the limelight, it will make people unhappy."

"But Miss," Ji Lan said unconvinced, "Mr. Zhou and the others have been busy since yesterday. I heard that they went to Ruyi Lou to order all the clothes for their head and face. Isn't Miss going to be outdone by them?"

Han Yan smiled and said: "The more carefully they dress up, the more ordinary and decent we have to be. Don't they just want to prove their status in the Zhuang family? They want people to know that the Zhuang family's concubines and concubines are richer than their legitimate daughters. There’s always going to be smart people coming in to knock things out.”

Ji Lan was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled: "Young lady is so smart, but this servant is stupid."

Shu Hong on the other side suddenly said: "This palace banquet is very common even for ladies from famous families. Only those who have never seen the world are so fancy. I'm so petty!"

Han Yan didn't expect Shu Hong, who was usually silent, to say this. After being surprised, she laughed: "She is getting bolder and bolder. She is also the master of the house after all. If people find out, you will inevitably suffer!"

Shu Hong lowered her head and stirred the charcoal fire in the stove while saying, "The only master of this slave is the young lady."

Han Yan smiled and said nothing.

In the end, Han Yan still ordered Ji Lan to do two round buns. She was still small and her face developed later than other girls. Dressed like this, she looks more like a little doll, but she is also innocent and cute, and unexpectedly harmonious. Han Yan only felt that the palace was not an easy place to get along with, and the arrangement was so that others would treat her as a little girl and not really draw their eyes to her, which would naturally save a lot of trouble. What's more, if Zhou dares to embarrass her at the palace banquet, this dress will be more conducive to winning everyone's trust.

Although Ji Lan did as she asked, he was still a little unwilling to do so, so he made a unique little braid around the edge of the bun, which made it look more delicate and exquisite. Although Han Yan didn't like those heavy headdresses, he also knew that etiquette must not be lost at the White House banquet, so he asked Ji Lan to pick a pair of turquoise butterfly wing hair accessories from the makeup box and pin them on both sides of the dumpling bun. Her skin tone became even brighter.

The hair here is done, but the clothes are in trouble. Han Yan didn't want to be in the limelight, but she couldn't lose her etiquette, so she finally chose a honey-colored coat, a rose-colored rat skin coat, and a silk cotton skirt of the same color as the coat. The colors were bright and lively, but they didn't look frivolous. Paired with a necklace, it is very cute.

Ren Jilan was struggling with his face. After an unknown amount of time, he heard Shu Hong's smiling voice: "Miss, it's done."

Han Yan then opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.

The little girl in the mirror has skin as white as snow, her long black soft hair is combed into two buns, and under her neat bangs are a pair of dark almond-shaped eyes. Her nose is slightly flushed due to the cold, her lips are really red and her teeth are white. Petite and cute.

Just then, Chen's mother opened the door and walked in. When she saw Han Yan's outfit, her eyes flashed with surprise, and then she smiled and said: "Our lady is a beauty. Although she is a little simple, her eyebrows are very beautiful." , the more people look at it, the more they like it." There was uncontrollable joy in his tone, but he was not picky about Han Yan's clothes.
