An Xiyue didn't have too many expressions on her face, her expression was indifferent, and the corner of her lips raised a smile that was neither deep nor shallow, but she accepted it calmly, without any appearance of shirk, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and nodded, which was regarded as a polite response. .
She and Lin Ji still had hatred and couldn't talk nicely to each other.
When Lin Ji saw An Xiyue's cold expression, a vicious cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Wherever he goes, he is not complimented by the ladies of the aristocratic family. If he wants to be favored by his eldest son, Mr. Lin, it depends on whether he is in a good mood or not. This An Xiyue is so ignorant.
Lin Ji was so angry that his teeth were itching, but some ladies who liked Lin Ji secretly resented the injustice for Mr. Lin. They felt that An Xiyue relied on her aloofness, and it was her blessing to get General Lin to apologize. The daughter of a civil servant is entitled to the title of Marquis.
Lin Ji is not only the grandson of the Prime Minister, who has a high position of power, but Lin Ji is not like other princes who always stay in the palace and wait for blessing. He has gone to the military camp since he was a child and has led troops to fight. He is a majestic general. Is this kind of power comparable to that of the Anping Marquis Mansion?
Nangong Yuanyi suddenly showed a cunning look, his dark obsidian eyes were shining with dazzling brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "It is natural for me to save that girl Yao'er, but Miss An is not the one who risked her life to save Yao'er. Shouldn’t my aunt also thank me for doing something that is within my duty..."
The eldest princess suddenly became speechless. The girl hadn't said anything yet, so he was joining in the fun.
Suddenly he felt that what he had just done was too petty, and he said unnaturally: "I am being abrupt. If Miss Ruoan doesn't mind, I want to accept you as my goddaughter."
The eldest princess had already heard from An Xiyue's words just now that she had no intention of joining their royal family. She was a noble and upright woman. She had wronged her. Now the eldest princess honors her as her goddaughter. It also gave her face, without looking stingy.
Suddenly, all the official women flashed jealous looks. Being able to be the goddaughter of Her Royal Highness the Princess is such a high honor that one cannot ask for. Why is An Xiyue so lucky?
"No." Suddenly, only three voices were heard in the air coming from all directions.
At this time, Nangong Yuanyi, Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Yao were seen speaking in unison with great tacit understanding.
The little Shangguan Yao is usually very afraid of her little uncle. Even though he is so handsome, he can be vicious but his relatives don't recognize him. All he sees is Shangguan Yao's pink and pretty little face, with big eyes blinking, full of dissatisfaction. Happy, she pursed her lips like cherries and said coquettishly: "I want her to be my sister. I don't want her to be Yao'er's aunt. My aunt is very annoying."
As Shangguan Yao spoke, she stuck out her tongue at Shangguan Yu. This annoying aunt was her.
"My prince already has a very annoying cousin, and I don't want to have another one." Nangong Yuanyi twitched the corner of his mouth, blinking his obsidian eyes, as calm and composed as a direct immortal, and did not feel any violation at all. feel.
This time, he and Shangguan Yao actually reached an agreement, and he gave Shangguan Yao a rare smile that turned everyone upside down. He looked evil and profound, and also fascinated a large number of ladies from aristocratic families.
"I don't want to, either." Shangguan Yu raised her long neck arrogantly, like a proud peacock. She couldn't accept being related to this cowardly and incompetent woman. How could she be the goddaughter of the Protector's Palace? A woman from such a family can do it.
If you try to climb into the palace of the Duke, if you want to be a relative of the emperor, there will be no way.
Shangguan Yu glared at Shangguan Yao angrily, his nose turned red with anger. In front of everyone, she actually said that she hated her. Was she not her niece? Turn your elbows outward.
The eldest princess felt extremely embarrassed at this time. She gave birth to her youngest daughter when she was in her thirties, and it almost killed her at the time. The granddaughter was also the darling of the Duke's palace, but she couldn't take back what she said. The eldest princess was also in a bit of trouble.
An Xiyue frowned and gave Nangong Yuanyi a cold look. What did he mean? Was he hurting her or helping her?
Nangong Yuanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his beautiful phoenix eyes shot straight at her, shining with dazzling brilliance, giving An Xiyue an unfathomable feeling that he wanted to eat her up. An Xiyue was startled and shuddered. He shivered and his expression became a little colder.
At this moment, Mei Yunluo stood out from all the ladies and bowed to the eldest princess in a dignified manner, "Yue'er is able to win the love of Her Royal Highness. It is the blessing that my little girl has cultivated over many lifetimes. However, I went to Jingyue a few days ago. The nunnery prayed for the little girl, but the master said that Yue'er was destined to have a bad luck star this year, and my wife was afraid of offending the princess."
Mei Yunluo politely rejected the eldest princess's kindness and took all the responsibilities on herself, saving the eldest princess's face and resolving the embarrassment at this time. She knew that the eldest princess was just acting on a whim and did not really want to recognize her daughter. Being a goddaughter is the best excuse to avoid embarrassment for both parties.
Everyone secretly scolded Mei Yunluo for being stupid. With such a good opportunity, even if his daughter really suffered a disaster, he should still hide it and become the goddaughter of the eldest princess. What an honor it was. The opportunity was missed in vain.
The eldest princess didn't pay attention when she heard this, and nodded secretly. She did not take credit for any reward, and advanced and retreated appropriately. She praised both An Xiyue and her daughter, and said: "In this case, I will not trouble Miss An, and send you pearls and flowers." Treasure, but also seems tacky, I promise to promise Miss An a condition in return. No matter what difficulties Miss An encounters, you can come to the Palace Protector to find me at any time, and I will do my best to complete it for Miss An."
At this time, everyone felt that An Xiyue was unlucky. Once she became a relative of the emperor, she would be so noble. Since the eldest princess dared to speak out, she would definitely be able to do it. The strength of the Protector's Palace was still very strong.
An Xiyue blessed her and supported her body gracefully. She was neither hasty nor slow, nor arrogant nor impetuous, and said softly: "I thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
An Xiyue did not take this promise to heart. If she had met the daughter of an ordinary citizen, she would not have the heart to see her die under the hoofs of horses. She knew that a mother who lost her child would be very sad and painful, even if she had to live a heavy life. In this life, the hatred in her previous life made her cold-hearted, and she couldn't be so cold-blooded when facing a weak child.
Then, An Xiyue retreated behind Mei Yunluo, drowning her figure. She knew that it was not easy to be the eldest princess's goddaughter. Such honor was also illusory. Mother's excuse was just right.
The banquet was held as scheduled, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the scene just now, but now they all recognized the peerless and beautiful woman An Xiyue, and many of them hoped that she would keep her word and not steal their chance to marry into the princess's house.
At this time, a handsome man appeared in the male guest's seat. He was in his early twenties, dressed in noble clothes. He was extremely handsome, his brows were deeply furrowed, and there was a hint of unwillingness and frustration in his eyes, but his thoughts were not there. Among the women, this is Shangguan Wei, the second son of the Duke Protector's Mansion.
