Three days later——
"Miss, you really plan to go!" She had been uneasy and quiet for the past three days. While helping Ling Zihan organize her clothes, she repeated the words she said most in the past few days.
"What I decide will never change." Ling Zihan glanced at the maid who grew up with her and was closer than the nominal sisters in the house. She looked at her snow-like face with a slightly sad look, and couldn't help but
Funny, he stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek. "Jinghao, you don't have to accompany me today. Liuyun is here to handle it. You, take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention here and do what I told you last night."
!”
Liuyun, who had changed his clothes and came in, looked at Jinghao who was still full of worries, tightened the smile on his lips, turned to Ling Zihan and said lightly, "Miss, the time has come, it's time to go."
"Um."
After calming down her expression, Ling Zihan walked away, leaving behind the still flaming figure of Xiao. With elegant and calm steps, she left the yard, got on the soft sedan in the foyer, and walked towards the Baihua Garden where the flower viewing banquet was held...
Baihua Garden was originally a courtyard built by Ling Xiang for his wife, Ling Zihan's mother. It imitated the southern scenery, with small bridges and flowing water, winding paths, green branches and leaves, and hundreds of flowers blooming one after another. It can be said that
It is the most exquisite place in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course, looking at the entire Kyoto, no, even the entire Western Dynasty, there are few gardens that can compare with this one.
Unfortunately, Chu Mingzhu passed away before it was completed.
Now, it has become a place for family members to play.
No, after receiving Du Mengxian's post, the family members dressed up carefully and arrived early. They all sat on the corridor leading to the waterside pavilion, complimenting each other on their clothes and makeup.
After some pleasantries, everyone's eyes fell on the empty embroidery bench to the left of the superior, exchanging glances with each other and talking in low voices.
"Hey, do you think the eldest lady will come again today?" a female voice asked cautiously.
"How is that possible? It's too late for her to hide from the third lady now!" Another female voice lowered her voice and said in the woman's ear: "A few days ago, King Yao gave the third lady a car of maids.
I heard that King Yao personally selected her from the palace. I also heard from sisters outside the palace that King Yao wanted to make her his true princess!"
"Don't you want to pamper me so much?" The woman screamed in surprise, then said with a bad smile, "It's a good show again. If the fourth lady knew about it, why not overthrow the prime minister's house? The third lady..."
Before she could say anything else, she was interrupted by a burst of "shhh". The woman turned around and saw that it was the second lady coming out of the waterside pavilion. All the concubines hurriedly stood up and saluted her to say hello.
"Sisters, please take a seat. Sister Su has sent a message, saying that she has a fever and won't be coming. Let me entertain all the sisters, young masters, and girls!" With a faint smile, Du Mengxian sat down first.
After getting off the bed, I turned to look outside the corridor. The sky was gloomy, as if a storm was coming. "Bai Ying, go to the west courtyard and see if the third lady has forgotten the time."
Bai Ying was blessed, and before she could speak, she heard a loud announcement from outside the garden - "The third lady is here!"
The red-topped sedan was carried in from the courtyard gate and stopped at the corridor. Liu Yun held up an oil-paper umbrella, walked to the sedan door, opened the curtain, and supported Ling Zihan toward the corridor.
The breeze was blowing, and as Ling Zihan stepped onto the corridor, there was suddenly a thunderous thunder outside, then a streak of white light passed across the gray sky, and suddenly, heavy rain came.
Big raindrops fell on the calm lake, hitting the lotus leaves and creating layers of ripples. The sound of the raindrops hitting the glazed tiles was very interesting.
But now, everyone in the corridor had no intention of listening to the rain. Except for the second lady and a few well-known aunts, they all stood up, knelt down, saluted Ling Zihan, and secretly looked at the scene in front of them with their peripheral vision.
A girl who makes the eldest wife even give in a few points.
What catches the eye is a touch of beautiful crimson color, elegant and graceful, like a fairy stepping on the moon, graceful and graceful.
Few girls wear such a bright red, and they are afraid that the bright color will make them appear frivolous and pretentious, or even make them look old, covering up the girl's purity and tenderness. But Ling Zihan is different. She has a natural temperament, and
This dazzling and gorgeous color will not take away the brilliance. On the contrary, it is her person who stands out against the background.
She is like a pearl placed in a hundred treasures. No matter how precious the treasure is, it has become a foil. Only her flowing brilliance attracts everyone's attention.
The moon ring beside her ear swayed in her bun, and the rest of her hair blew in the wind, adding to the girlish beauty.
Walking slowly, she stood in front of the Second Madam, looking at the person in front of her mother indifferently, with just the right amount of surprise on her face, and slowly nodded and said: "Second Madam, you've been waiting for a long time."
The second lady on the couch had also finished her drama. She lazily raised her eyes, looked Ling Zihan up and down, raised her hand to ask the maid behind her, who was still naked, to get up, and then pointed to the embroidery stool on the left.
: "It's rare for Miss Third to show her respect. Please sit down. Bai Ying, serve tea to Miss Third!"
Ling Zihan held Liu Yun's hand and sat down, raised her eyes and glanced at the people who were still kneeling, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, miss." A group of maids and women helped the masters stand up and looked up, their expressions were startled.
"Miss Third doesn't know them yet, Bai Ying, go and introduce them to Miss Third!"
The second lady's voice interrupted everyone's reverie, but it also aroused a deeper meaning. To Ling Zihan, the second lady had good intentions and organized a flower-viewing banquet for the family members so that she could get to know everyone. But this move caused a lot of confusion among others.
It seems that this was her way of threatening Ling Zihan. Instead of introducing her herself, she asked the maid to do it for her...
Will this make her follow in Su's footsteps?
Everyone was waiting for the introduction with different thoughts. To their surprise, Ling Zihan had no objection and listened to Bai Ying's introduction with a smile. After the concubines and the maids greeted them one by one, they all smiled and nodded. When they met all the aunts,
, was also lightly blessed, which was regarded as a return gift. Even when she introduced her brothers and sisters, she stood up humbly and politely. Her ladylike demeanor was just right for everyone, making it hard for people to find anything wrong. But it also made everyone feel strange and thoughtful.
, is this third lady really like the rumors?
"I like this sister, why don't you sit next to me!" Just when everyone was still worried about Ling Zihan's unpredictable behavior, they looked up and saw her affectionate and persistent Aunt Dong's daughter, the second daughter of the prime minister's house.
Ling Yue.
Ling Yue has a gentle temperament, but she is arrogant in her bones. She usually does not get close to others or make grudges. But today, she did not alienate Ling Zihan. It seemed that she liked this girl from the bottom of her heart at the first sight.
.Not pretentious, not unruly and willful, and his proud and proud aura comes from his bones, which suits her well.
"Third sister, if you don't mind it, of course it's good."
Unlike other concubine children, Ling Yue always called her "Third Sister" instead of "Third Miss".
She raised the corners of her lips, and a flash of light flashed in her calm eyes. Ling Zihan asked the maid to move Ling Yue's table and chairs next to her, but at this time, a slightly harsh laughter came, and the four people who came belatedly
The girl walked quickly with a group of maids and women, and there was actually a monk following beside her.
Before she even got close, she spoke sarcastically, "Oh, look, the noble Third Miss can actually be close to her sisters! Second Sister, I advise you to stay away from her. Don't let others call us concubines shameless later."
You’re a clumsy bitch!”
