"Yo, it's Miss Zilan, is the old lady inside?"

Hearing that someone was coming, Zilan immediately stood up straight, adjusted her feelings, and saluted with a smile.

"It turned out to be Mrs., Sister Ruoshui went out with the old lady."

"Oh"

Mrs. Taishi replied, turned her face to look at Zilan, and saw that her eyes were a little red, so she asked with pretended concern.

"What's wrong with the girl?"

Zilan was stunned and said continuously.

"No, it's just that I accidentally let the sand into my eyes just now, and now it's fine, and Mrs. Lao cares."

Sand? There is not even a speck of dust in this yard, where does the sand come from? I'm afraid I've been wronged, right?

Mrs. Taishi's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile.

"That's it, it's okay, I originally came to say hello to the old lady, and since the old lady is not here, I will leave first, and come back later."

"Then Zilan sends Madame."

As soon as Zilan leaned down, Mrs. Taishi's body suddenly turned back, and she looked at Zilan for a while without saying a word.

Zilan stood up in surprise, and saw Lan Xuezhi looking at her with a look of pity, and couldn't help but ask embarrassedly.

"I wonder what else is going on with Madame?"

"Oh~hehe"

Mrs. Taishi smiled.

"It's okay, I just heard that the old lady recommended Miss Ruoshui to participate in the talent competition in three days, and suddenly thought that if Miss Zilan went, it would be more advantageous, so it was inevitable to regret it in my heart" After speaking, he sighed deliberately, but secretly observed Zilan's face out of the corner of his eyes.

Zilan was stunned, how could she not hear the provocative meaning in her words, and hurriedly lowered her head and acted frightened.

"Madame said with a smile, if Sister Shui is known as a model woman, she is naturally stronger than Zilan, and I believe that she will not live up to the old lady's expectations."

I didn't expect this Zilan girl to be such a cautious person, Mrs. Taishi shook her head and sighed a few times before continuing.

"If the water girl is good, but what she is good at is female virtue after all, this kind of talent competition, but it may not be as good as the Zilan girl, if it were me, I would definitely let the Zilan girl go."

Zilan still lowered her head, but her voice was a little frightened.

"Madame, don't say that, Zilan can't afford it, if you listen to it to the old lady, maybe you will have a lot of ideas, Zilan doesn't matter, it's not good to affect Madame."

Mrs. Taishi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"That's right, that's right, the old lady must have her reasons for doing things, and we shouldn't talk about it."

After a moment of silence, the conversation changed.

"However, it is said that this talent contest is not as simple as a competition, it is rumored to be to choose a concubine for the Nine Princes, although the Nine Princes are said to be an idle prince with no power and power, but they are also royal nobles, this Ruoshui girl is really a good life, and the old lady loves her so much."

After speaking, he cautiously glanced at Zilan's face, and sure enough, he saw that her face was a little pale, although she could see that she was trying her best to endure it, but she still couldn't hide the sad color at all.

"Yes, Sister Ruoshui is a blessed person."

This is a somewhat sour statement.

Seeing that Zilan was obviously unhappy but pretended to be indifferent, a hint of an inappropriate smile flashed at the corner of Mrs. Taishi's mouth, and then she chuckled.

"Hehe, I don't think Miss Zilan will be bad in the future."

"Madame teased."

After saying that, I remembered my origin, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.

Mrs. Taishi took a few steps closer and looked at Zilan smiling kindly.

"How can I make fun of you, I, I like the girl the most with a good temperament, and a woman with both talents and appearances, the old lady is not here at this time, the girl should not go to my place to sit down, just accompany me to talk, this is idle, very boring, it is good to have someone to accompany you to pass the time."

Zilan raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Taishi in surprise, and then lowered her head again, looking a little at a loss.

"Thanks to Madame, Zilan is not very honored, but the old lady still has some trivial things to do here, so the old lady will blame her, I'm afraid I can only accompany Madame another day, and please forgive Madame."

She knew in her heart that it was impossible for Mrs. Taishi to be good to a girl for no reason, not to mention any premeditated plans, that is, according to the fact that the old lady did not like Mrs. Taishi, it was inconvenient for her to get too close to Mrs. Taishi, so as not to make the old lady think too much, the old lady was now the only person she could rely on, and she would never dare to make her old man unhappy.

As if knowing her concerns, Mrs. Taishi didn't force it anymore, just took her hand and patted it gently, smiling kindly.

"It's rare that you are so diligent in your duties, then okay, I won't bother you to do things, remember to come to my place to sit when you are free, if you encounter any difficulties, just come to me, I will try to help, don't feel embarrassed."

For Mrs. Taishi's excessive enthusiasm, Zilan only felt very uncomfortable, and skillfully withdrew her hand, a little flattered.

"Yes, Mrs. Zilan."

Looking at Zilan who bowed her head, Mrs. Taishi shook her head helplessly, turned around and left, and said a word as she left.

"Hey, what a lovely girl."

When Mrs. Taishi was gone, Zilan straightened up, her face was more gloomy than it had been, and a layer of confusion, what kind of wishful thinking was this Mrs. Taishi.

While thinking about it, the voice of the girl guarding the courtyard sounded in my ears.

"Miss Zilan, there is a girl in the front yard who has come to deliver a message, saying that the old lady asked you to go to the main hall."

Zilan was a little stunned.

"Do you know what's going on?"

How did Ruoshui go to the main hall for a walk with the old lady?

The girl shook her head.

"I don't know about that."

Zilan smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll go."

In the main hall sat the old lady and the lady of the princess, Ruoshui and a young woman about fourteen or fifteen years old stood in the hall, listening to what the old lady said, Zilan came in and made a salute, and then stood in the hall with Ruoshui and the young woman.

The old lady glanced at her and muttered.

"Ruoshui and Qingxuan are going to participate in the talent competition in the palace in three days, just now there is a will from the palace, let you go to the palace in the afternoon, so you are familiar with the rules, you are talented, smart and sensible, go with them, if they don't understand, you can also help mention something."

To put it bluntly, it's to go and fight.

Although it was a start, Zilan was still happy, after all, this could see a lot of powerful people, and it would be good for her in the future, so she happily agreed.

Mrs. Taishi saw Zilan's joy in her eyes and said with a smile.

"Yes, especially Qingxuan, this girl is young and willful, so she has to trouble Miss Zilan and Miss Ruoshui to take care of her."

Ruoshui glanced at the girl named Qingxuan with a smile and said.

"Don't worry, madam, we will definitely take good care of Miss Four."

After speaking, she glanced at Zilan again, and Zilan also smiled and nodded.

The fourth lady Qingxuan, is the young lady from the Taishi Mansion, this talent competition, the official family of more than five grades, but all the daughters over the age of fourteen have to participate, it is said that several other young ladies are married, so this fourth lady went.

The fourth lady pursed her mouth slightly, lowered her head and did not speak.

Just listen to the old lady.

"Well, that's it, the palace is not as good as the house, you must remember to follow the rules inside, don't cause trouble."

The three of them responded obediently, and the old lady nodded with satisfaction.

"There's nothing else, so the three of you can go down and prepare for it yourself."

"Yes"

The old lady spoke, and the three of them all retired and prepared.

The old lady then immediately got up and walked out, without looking at Mrs. Taishi, who was about to call her, until Mrs. Taishi blushed with embarrassment, and looked at the back of the old lady leaving, and then hooked the corners of her mouth.

The plan she hatched is finally about to appear.
