An Xiyue didn't often come out to attend banquets like this, and many people didn't know her. At this moment, everyone looked at her sideways, with astonishment in their eyes.
I saw her calm and dignified in a green dress, her temperament was calm, elegant and calm, her facial features were excellent, her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of quiet spring water, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and her voice was neither loud nor quiet, which made her The eldest princess fell in love with him from the bottom of her heart as soon as she saw him.
Suddenly, several ladies from aristocratic families who knew An Xiyue murmured with jealousy: "Now she has a better temperament than her sister. The person who used to be tongue-tied when speaking in front of us, today in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Pretending to be a bland and gentle fairy is really annoying."
"That's right, she must be pretending. She must be pretending to be noble in front of the eldest princess. I'm afraid she also wants to become the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess. Marrying into the Duke Protector's Palace will bring you endless glory and wealth." One of the women was full of yearning, her cheeks stained red.
"That temperament is not fake. Don't say sour grapes. Didn't you see Shangguan Yao call her her savior? Although the young lady of Shangguan Mansion is young, as far as I know, she is a person with a clear sense of grudges. Be careful she pulls out your tongue." Another official lady reminded kindly.
"Huh, it's none of your business. After saving Miss Shangguan, she has more excuses to win the favor of the eldest princess. She's so scheming. I'm afraid she saved Miss Shangguan on purpose. Why didn't she save anyone, but she happened to save Miss Shangguan? The little lady is only five years old. What does she know? Don't be taken advantage of. Besides, there are no such coincidences in the world." These young ladies usually play with several young ladies in the Lin family, and they all use An Xilin's sister-in-law as a reference. A joy.
The eldest princess smiled kindly, and listened carefully to the comments of some women. Her face changed slightly in an instant, and she said slowly: "Excuse me, you saved my good granddaughter, and I haven't had the chance to thank you yet." As she spoke, the princess took a golden hairpin from her bun and handed it to An Xiyue, saying calmly: "Just thank Miss An for saving her life."
An Xiyue's expression was cold, without too much trouble on her face, and she did not reach out to pick it up. Her expression was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, but her tone was a bit colder and she said slowly: "No reward for no merit, your Highness Princess must have misunderstood, Sun." The young lady was not saved by my daughter."
An Xiyue understood what the eldest princess meant, and probably regarded her as the kind of woman who clings to the powerful. When she first rescued Shangguan Yao, she didn't know that the little girl was the young lady of the princess's house, so she only hugged her out of desperation. She got up, but now people think she is clinging to powerful people, which is really funny.
An Xiyue didn't explain too much, her expression was a bit colder, and she kept her mouth on others, letting them say whatever they wanted.
The eldest princess did not expect An Xiyue's reaction. She suddenly felt that she had handled the matter improperly and hurt the girl's self-esteem. Just as she was about to speak, Shangguan Yu glared angrily and loudly said with disdain: "Take what my mother rewards you. Do you think it's too little? Or do you want to use it to become my second brother's wife?"
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone showed incredulous expressions, turning all their good impressions of An Xiyue into disdain and contempt.
Shangguan Yu often played with several ladies from Prime Minister Lin's Mansion and was very domineering. She had looked down on An Xiyue in the past and thought she was weak and incompetent. However, An Xilin often appeared in front of them with her annoying sister. How could she be Yaoer's savior like that, unless An Xiyue also wanted to take advantage of this to marry into the Duke's palace.
An Xilin originally thought about when the eldest sister became the savior of the Shangguan family. It was such a good opportunity that she didn't save the little lady. She was still very regretful. However, she did not expect that An Xiyue became the target of public criticism, and Shangguan Yu became the target of public criticism. God assists, An Xilin stood gently and quietly on one side, secretly happy in her heart, seeing how she could get off the stage, in front of so many people, the depression in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, in front of so many people His face is really humiliating when he tries to cling to the powerful.
Even the people in the male guests' seats raised their faces as if they were watching the show. There were many young masters from aristocratic families here today, and the most outstanding ones were the princes and the eldest son Lin. They all raised their lips and stared at An Xiyue.
Lin Ji originally wanted to vent his anger on An Xilin's behalf, with a smile on his handsome features and vicious mockery in his eyes, but he didn't expect that she would fly into the flames and perish, so he was too lazy to do it himself.
A strange color flashed in Nangong Hao's eyes, but he still sat as steady as a rock, with a playful smile on his lips. That day, she was dazzling and dazzling. Her good calligraphy was loved by Taifu, but She was just a daughter of a marquis, not worthy of his intervention. She raised her sword eyebrows slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Her posture was so chic and elegant, attracting many women to look at her.
Shangguan Yao suddenly felt that she had caused trouble for her sister, so she pulled her sleeves and whispered: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it."
An Xiyue was not angry. Shangguan Yao was innocent and had no bad intentions. He smiled lightly at her to indicate that she was fine.
I saw that lonely and indifferent woman standing proudly in the crowd, like a white lotus in full bloom, emerging from the mud but unstained. Everyone pointed at her, but she remained unmoved. She did not panic, but became even more He treated it indifferently, with a slight smile on his lips and slightly cold eyes.
At this time, I could only hear the sound of Anxi Yue flowing slowly, and he said softly: "Flowers of water and land, grass and trees, are the most lovely. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since Li and Tang Dynasties, people in the world have loved peonies very much. I love them alone." The lotus emerges from the mud but is not stained, washes the clear ripples without being evil, is straight in the middle and has no vines or branches. The fragrance is clear from a distance, and the pavilion is pure and can be viewed from a distance but not played with. Peony is also a flower that brings wealth and honor. "The lotus is also a gentleman of flowers. The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of after Tao. Who can share the love of lotus? The love of peonies is suitable for everyone."
When everyone heard An Xiyue's calm and quiet voice, they didn't know that she read the song "Ai Lian Shuo" so beautifully. They were deeply fascinated by An Xiyue's cold expression. Anyone who can read and write knows this article. What is the implication? It is a sarcastic comment on those villains who seek to gain access to wealth and power, and it is a secret curse on those who pursue glory, wealth and power. And she never bothered to follow the crowd and be that shameless person, and she ignored her desire to join a wealthy family.
An Xiyue's magnanimity was as extraordinary as that of a fairy isolated from the world, and she did not utter any arrogant words to defend her embarrassment. What was getting darker and darker, if she tried her best to explain it at this time, she couldn't explain it clearly.
She used an article to clarify that she had no such intention, and did not disgrace the eldest princess, implying that she had no intention of being interested in the second son of Shangguan. There are many women today, and among them there are many who just love plum blossoms and want to see the beauty of plum blossoms. An Xiyue Wisely expressed his position with his attitude.
Suddenly, one of the women was ready to defend An Xiyue, but before she could say anything.
At this time, a hearty and sweet voice sounded from the door of the main hall: "What a wonderful woman."
