"Really?" An Yanran snorted coldly. She had gotten into such a big scandal. If she still wanted to go out, she had to save face at home first, otherwise, she would be dead.
The little maid felt something was wrong and murmured, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, at this time, An Ranyue spoke up: "Sister, this is indeed a good opportunity. You can go out and relax, meet a lot of people, and meet your King Kang..."
"Sister, please stop teasing me. King Kang thinks what happened last time was my plan. I don't know what will happen when he meets me. How can I even think about meeting him now!" An Yanran said self-deprecatingly.
Although she said this, she was really looking forward to meeting King Kang again. At that time, she could explain what happened at that time. Besides, she was lost anyway, and if she stayed indoors from then on, it would be a good thing for someone. She must go, and go without any care.
Lou Wanyue’s birthday is the same day as her great-grandmother’s.
Old Mrs. Lou had always liked this granddaughter very much. In addition, Lou Wanyue was both talented and beautiful and extremely filial, so she won the old lady's favor even more.
The old lady took the initiative to propose that her 70th birthday and Lou Wanyue’s coming of age be celebrated on the same occasion.
She also specifically supervised the process and reviewed all the gifts.
There is also a guest list.
The old lady was happier on this birthday than on any other occasion. Seeing her granddaughter grow into a big girl, she felt that she was the best in the world and no one could compare to her.
On the day of the birthday party, the weather was fine and the sky was clear.
The weather was not extremely hot, but there was a breeze. The old lady felt that it was a good sign, a blessing for her and her granddaughter.
Thinking of this, he was beaming with joy.
In front of the prime minister's door, there were canopies connected to each other, and carriages and horses were connected. It was so crowded that no one could get through. Fortunately, arrangements had been made in advance and the carriages and horses were all sent to the alley at the back. It was a main street, and pedestrians were stopped and cars were parked specially for the banquet.
This made him jealous, envious, and gossipy.
Lian Jinyu was supposed to go with An Qingran, but due to her health problem, it was inconvenient for her to travel, so An Qingran went with the sisters An Yanran and An Ranyue. However, An Qingran sat in a carriage by herself and the two sisters sat in another carriage. An Yanran got in the front carriage without even saying hello to An Qingran. An Qingran didn't mind, she was just thinking about whether Lou Wanyue would like her gift.
After paying respects to the old man of longevity, she went to look for Lou Wanyue, who was in the courtyard next door accepting everyone's blessings. Today, Lou Wanyue was dressed up carefully, and her beauty was already beautiful, and she looked even more like a fairy from heaven. An Qingran pulled her hand and said with a smile, "It's incomparable. You look like a fairy from the Rui Palace. I don't know who would dare to ask me for your hand, and what kind of family would be worthy of you!"
Her words caused laughter from the people around her, and they all joined in the cheers.
Lou Wanyue blushed and said with a smile: "You are still talking about me, how are you worse than me? I am a fairy from the Rui Palace, a fairy from the Ninth Heaven, several levels higher than me..."
An Qingran didn't dress up particularly carefully today. She just wore a pink and white dress, which made her skin look even whiter and her eyes more picturesque. She looked clean and refreshing like a breeze, which made people feel happy at first sight. Indeed, she didn't let Lou Wanyue overshadow her. Standing next to her, they each had their own characteristics and were beautiful in different ways.
They were not the only two who sang at the banquet. The three greatest beauties in the capital were all here. Princess Dongfang Ruoxue also had skin whiter than snow, and was untouched by the mundane world. She stepped forward and gave Lou Wanyue her painting, and also greeted An Qingran. In the last life, they were not familiar with each other, and it was the same in this life. They only met once, but An Qingran still knew her life experience. She was a princess, but her fate was extremely bad. She should have had a daughter as beautiful as a flower, but she was married off to a man, and died after only one year. Looking at her elegant appearance, An Qingran developed a good impression of her, so she sighed and felt that it was unfair for her. She didn't know if she could help her in this life.
An Qingran felt like a savior, always feeling compassion for the world.
Dongfang Ruoxue noticed that there was something wrong in An Qingran's eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Qingran, this is the first time we meet, do you have anything to say to me?"
"I just want to say that even though this is the first time we meet, in my heart we have been friends for a long time." An Qingran said sincerely.
Dongfang Ruoxue smiled lightly, "I was thinking that too. You sprained your ankle during the last gathering, so we didn't see each other. This time, we must have a good chat. I've always heard about your deeds, and now we meet. In a word, I am astounded by you!"
An Qingran smiled: "How dare I accept this? I have no achievements at all."
"How could there be no one? I prayed for my parents and fell ill from exhaustion..."
"Let's not talk about this matter for now. Instead, Princess Dongfang, what new paintings have you created recently?" An Qingran really liked her words. Of course, she thought that everyone in the world would like her paintings!
"Don't just chat between the two of you, you left me aside!" Lou Wanyue said angrily.
"Okay, you're about to get married, and you're still so jealous, which is not good!" An Qingran joked.
Lou Wanyue refused to give in: "How can I be getting married soon? How dare you say such nonsense? You decide who I should marry!"
"After the coming-of-age ceremony today, you can get married. As for who you're going to marry, how would I know?" An Qingran smiled and exchanged glances with Dongfang Ruoxue.
Dongfang Ruoxue was also speechless: "Yes, coming of age is a big event and a happy one. Although Qingran is a little anxious, what she said makes sense."
Lou Wanyue blushed at the teasing of the two of them. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone behind her say, "Congratulations, Miss Lou!"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Miss Dingyuan, Qin Xiangning. She was dressed in pink and looked like a lotus in the water. She was full of pity. She was holding a red lacquered sandalwood box in her hand and handed it over, "It's just a little gift from me. Please don't despise it!"
Lou Wanyue took it and opened the box, revealing a white jade hairpin. The color and carvings on it showed that it was a rare and valuable item. Lou Wanyue took it with surprise and said thank you.
Qin Xiangning also took the opportunity to greet Dongfang Ruoxue and An Qingran. The four of them stood together, but no one knew what kind of emotions the guests had. They were one of the three most beautiful women in the capital, as everyone had known about it, but no one knew when the eldest daughter of the An family had grown up to be so beautiful. Standing side by side with the three most beautiful women, she was not inferior to them at all. The calmness on her face gave her a special charm!
There is a subtle tendency to overshadow all the others.
Qin Xiangning and Dongfang Ruoxue chatted enthusiastically. They seemed to be very familiar with each other. The topics they talked about were all experiences they had in common. Lou Wanyue stood aside to welcome other ladies. An Qingran stood beside her and said, "Why don't you come and see me?"
