Especially today, when he saw that she was no less than the three most beautiful women in the capital, he was even more furious. Then he looked at An Yanran, who was dressed very flamboyantly. She didn't look fresh at all despite her young age. She looked like the top girl in a brothel. Her appearance was not bad, but she looked uncomfortable no matter how he looked at her, not to mention her pitiful appearance, which made her look like a slave. She deserved to be a concubine.
But I don't want to help her take the right position.
When An Ranyue arrived at this mansion, everything was extremely new to her. Because she walked with An Yanran, she recognized most of the people and An Yanran introduced them to her. However, An Yanran was a young lady from a general's mansion and was looked down upon because she was born out of wedlock, not to mention her relatives in this mansion.
She found it boring.
Her eyes had been searching all the time, and finally she saw Dongfang Yan standing with Prince Kang, and she froze there. No matter how she looked at him, Dongfang Yan looked charming and graceful, no worse than Prince Kang, and even a little taller than Prince Kang. This made her heart boil. She didn't know how to tell her parents, and she didn't know if she could enter Prince Ning's Mansion with her status. Even if she entered, would she be sitting sideways like An Yanran? Now she was sitting sideways, but she didn't mind very much, as long as she could be by his side.
Seeing her in a daze, how could An Yanran not know what she was feeling, so she threw her aside and walked with Qin Xiangning. Although Qin Xiangning was ashamed of An Yanran's reputation, after all, she was now a member of Prince Kang's Mansion, and she would definitely be of use in the future, so she was still polite and warm.
An Yanran whispered, "Did you see my sister? The eldest daughter of the An family who never left the house before is different now!"
"Yes, there have been a lot of rumors about her recently. They all say that she is very smart and decent!" Qin Xiangning said this in a very calm tone.
"She just concealed it well. I feel that she did this for a reason. Before, when I wanted to take her out, she stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. After going to Yuehua Temple, she has become a completely different person. It seems that she is very ambitious!" An Yanran sighed.
"Ambition? She is already the eldest daughter of the An family, what ambition does she still have?" Qin Xiangning asked puzzledly.
"I wanted to talk to you just now, but you walked away. I told you, wasn't she there when we went to Yuehua Temple together last time? Do you know who is still there?"
"Who is it?"
"Prince, we just didn't see them!" An Yanran's eyes were filled with evil, "They were both in Yuehua Temple for more than half a month, think about it yourself!"
Qin Xiangning was stunned when she heard this, then she sneered and said, "I understand. No wonder you said she was ambitious. If you put it this way, her ambition is really too big!"
"Yes, you also know that I had such an embarrassing incident when we held a banquet last time. If I didn't tell her, I would have been wronged. She secretly drugged me. Otherwise, if I had that intention, I would have made an appointment with King Kang at any time. And I had to make an appointment when there were many people around..."
"Yes, I also find it strange. You are a smart person, how could you do such a stupid thing?"
"Stop talking about it. I'm almost going to get mad when you mention it. Let's not talk about that incident. She has been acting more and more like the boss in the mansion recently. She helps my mother deal with affairs and seems to be in charge of the family. Also, last time, my mother and I got the news that there was a man hiding in her room, but when we got there, the man had already left. After thinking about it, the man must be the prince!" An Yanran's voice was very low, so Qin Xiangning leaned towards her, and the two of them looked very close.
An Yanran heard that Qin Xiangning's breathing changed and she began to breathe heavily.
Qin Xiangning likes the prince. Only she knows this. It is not something Qin Xiangning said, but something she felt herself. Whenever Qin Xiangning mentioned the prince, she was particularly concerned, and looking at the expression on her face, you can understand everything.
That's why she said that.
After Qin Xiangning heard what she said, she didn't speak for a long while. Finally, she asked, "What's the matter? No one can control her, and let her act so arrogantly in your house?"
"She acted very covertly. She was very cunning and just made groundless accusations. I had no way of replying to my father. Besides, my mother was pregnant again. So even if she really had something wrong, she would hide it if possible. She didn't want to make my father upset..." An Yanran looked like a filial daughter.
Qin Xiangning nodded: "You are the only one with a good temper who can tolerate her. You really let her bully you!"
An Yanran sighed: "What else can I do? I am not as good as you, young lady. I am just a concubine's daughter. I can protect myself. How dare I dare to hope for others?"
Qin Xiangning and An Yanran were talking on the side. An Yanran didn't say a single good word to An Qingran, especially on the issue of the prince. She exaggerated and said that during the last banquet, the maid in the house clearly saw her and the prince in the side courtyard, but no one knew what they did.
From then on, Qin Xiangning and An Qingran became enemies.
Of course, it just hasn’t become successful yet.
An Qingran still doesn't know anything.
She had a very good chat with Dongfang Ruoxue and Lou Wanyue, and realized that she was too closed-minded in her previous life and missed the opportunity to meet them. She will definitely cherish it in this life.
While they were chatting, Lou Wanyue's maid came forward and whispered, "Miss, the old lady asked all the young ladies to go to the front hall. I don't know who suggested that the young ladies should compete in skills. Everyone has already gone there and is just waiting to watch the show!"
"Whose suggestion was this?" Lou Wanyue frowned, "I wonder if those ladies would mind..."
Dongfang Ruoxue was an expert in calligraphy and painting, so she was calm and composed about the competition of arts.
Lou Wanyue looked at An Qingran: "What do you think? Is this too rude? Should I report to my grandmother and ask her to cancel it? She is the birthday girl, and I am sure no one can refuse her face."
"Does grandma want to be happy? Why bother? These young ladies all have some abilities. Maybe they just want to take the opportunity to show off!" Dongfang Ruoxue said.
An Qingran also nodded: "It's nothing, actually. If anyone thinks they have good talent, they can go on stage. If they don't want to, I'm sure the old lady won't force them!"
Upon hearing this, Lou Wanyue nodded slowly, then called everyone to go to the front yard.
Many guests had gathered there and it was quite lively.
When the old lady saw Lou Wanyue bringing all the daughters over, she smiled and waved, saying, "You girls have all grown up so beautifully. Today is my birthday, so I'll be generous enough to let you perform your talents. Do you mind?"
Naturally, some people answered that they didn’t mind.
Who can say no?
