Chapter 246: Stubborn
"Mother, why are you here, what do you tell me to go over, why bother to run in person."
When Shen Lian saw Lin Ningxiu, she immediately greeted her with a smile, helped her sit down at the stone table, and poured her a cup of tea diligently, and said with a smile.
She didn't pay that much attention to Yin Chen's birthday banquet, and it would not be good if her mother asked her how she was prepared.
Lin Ningxiu said with a smile, "My mother is not old enough to walk, and it is considered a walk to sit in your yard."
What happened to Yun'er just now, did you have a stubborn temperament and bully Yun'er again? β
"No, don't think too much about it, Miss, she is good to the slave maid, how can she bully the slave maid."
Without waiting for Shen Lian to speak, Yun'er hurriedly said, "Just now, the slave maid accidentally touched the table, so she cried in pain." β
"You girl, but you are the one who knows the protector."
Lin Ningxiu couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and looked at Yun'er approvingly.
Although she didn't believe what Yun'er said, of course she was happy to see Yun'er defend her daughter so much.
Shen Lian said with a smile, "Of course, Yun'er has always protected me the most."
By the way, mother, what is the reason you are here? "The words she and Yun'er joked about can't let her mother know, it's better to change the topic now.
Lin Ningxiu's eyes turned slightly, and Ziying immediately pulled Yun'er back and walked away far away.
Only then did Lin Ningxiu speak, "Isn't it Prince Chen's birthday banquet today, my mother wants you to take the spirit girl with me." β
"Why did you take her?" Shen Lian frowned when she heard this, and said a little unhappily.
For this who is the best at scheming, her nominal sister-in-law, she doesn't have a good impression at all.
"Mother knows that you don't like Feiling, but she is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and your sister."
Lin Ningxiu's expression became serious, "At the last poetry meeting, my mother wanted her to show it well, so that she could find a good family.
As a result, you girl didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she came back with a first name and stole her limelight. β
"This time Prince Chen's birthday banquet, the sons of the wealthy families in the capital will definitely gather, so this time you take Feiling over and observe for her.
If she marries well, our Prime Minister's Mansion will also have face. β
Although she prefers her daughter, she is also very concerned about this concubine who she has watched grow up since she was a child, and she doesn't want her to marry casually, and wants to choose a good family for her.
"Alright then, I'll just take her there."
Shen Lian pondered for a moment and nodded in response.
Last time, because she made a bet with Yin Chen, she borrowed some famous poems from her previous life, but she overpowered Shen Feiling and won the first place, but she really stole the limelight from Shen Feiling, and this time it should be regarded as compensating her.
Lin Ningxiu saw Shen Lian agree, smiled, and said, "You saw Prince Chen this time, you can't be as willful as before, behave, take out your demeanor as a woman, remember?" "These two daughters, but none of them let her worry, one is married, and she doesn't take her fiancΓ© seriously all day long, and the other is not married, and she is very focused, but she is really sad to death.
"Yes, mother, I promise to be polite to him, and I will never be rude to him, you can rest assured."
Shen Lian smiled and promised.
Her relationship with Yin Chen has eased a lot now, and she won't quarrel like before, so what her mother is worried about should not happen.
Of course, if Yin Chen had to provoke her, it would be a different matter.
Lin Ningxiu instructed Shen Lian a few more words, asking her to dress up as soon as possible, so as not to delay Shi Chen, so she left.
After Lin Ningxiu left, Yun'er looked at Shen Lian with a smile and said, "Miss, Madame has been here, you should let the slave maid dress up for you now." β
"Okay, just dress up, let you dress up."
Shen Lian could only reluctantly put away the medical book and followed Yun'er into the house.
Although she agreed to let Yun'er dress up, Shen Lian never liked heavy makeup, and finally let Yun'er simply put on makeup, still wearing a flowing cyan dress, and her hair was combed into a flying fairy bun under Yun'er's strong request, and a hosta was still inserted.
When Shen Lian came to the door, Shen Feiling was waiting early again.
Different from Shen Lian's simple makeup, her makeup is thicker, the red lipstick makes her look more gorgeous, a red peony is pasted on the center of her eyebrows, the golden hairpin on her head is even more graceful, and she is wearing a bright purple dress.
Shen Lian looked at Shen Feiling's purple dress and smiled slightly, "My sister really has a heart." β
The people in the whole capital are afraid that they all know that Prince Chen has always liked purple shirts the most, does this Shen Feiling not know or does it on purpose? "My sister doesn't know what my sister is talking about, and it's not too early, so let's go quickly."
Shen Feiling smiled lightly, although his tone was quite polite, but he had long since lost the humble appearance he had in front of Shen Feiling.
"Okay."
Shen Lian glanced at her, nodded, and got into the carriage.
She didn't bother to think about what Shen Feiling was thinking, anyway, she didn't plan to marry Yin Chen.
Shen Feiling also got into the carriage, and the two sat opposite each other, looking at each other indifferently, as if they were looking at strangers.
In the end, Shen Lian didn't bother to meet her eyes, so she simply closed her eyes and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Chenwang's Mansion.
Tang Yuan stumbled over the threshold, and his figure threw himself into the hall again, but fortunately, he reacted in time, stabilized his body, and then said to Yin Chen with some pride, "Look, Lord Wang, the little one didn't fall this time. β
Yin Chen didn't bother to bother with this guy, and asked, "What about the person that this prince asked you to pay attention to?" "Seeing that the birthday banquet is about to start, that girl really doesn't plan to come!" Lord Qiqi, the little one has been staring at the door, and the princess really hasn't come yet. β
Tang Yuan said with a serious face.
"What a princess! This prince hasn't married her yet, and besides, this prince doesn't want to marry her! Yin Chen immediately retorted, but looking at Tang Yuan with a smirk on his face, he couldn't help but sigh again, he was also dizzy, what is it true to Tang Yuan, a stupid boy.
With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Continue to the door and keep an eye on, as long as Shen Lian's girl comes, immediately tell this prince!" β
"Yes, don't worry, the little one will definitely give you a glimpse of the princess!" Tang Yuan responded with a smile and trotted away.
After a while, Liu Han smiled and said, "Chen, the guests are almost here, you should go out." β
Yin Chen followed Liu Hanxiao to the courtyard where the birthday banquet was going to be held, and greeted everyone.
During this period, Yin Xinxuan sent people to send a large number of precious gifts, which caused everyone to secretly discuss, and they all said that Prince Chen was really the most beloved brother of the saint.
Yin Qinxue also came, sat down directly beside Yin Chen, and looked at the congratulatory gift given by Yin Xinxuan with great interest.
Yin Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw her looking around, "Whatever you like, you can just take it yourself." β
But his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the door.
After a long time, seeing that the incense had burned to the end, Yin Chen looked at the still empty courtyard gate, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was inexplicably disappointed in his heart.
That girl really didn't like him at all, and she didn't even want to come to his birthday banquet.
He sighed in his heart, waved his hand, and was about to order the birthday banquet to begin, when suddenly a singing voice came, "The two young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion have arrived!" Immediately afterwards, the figures of Shen Lian and Shen Feiling appeared at the gate of the courtyard and walked in slowly.
Yin Chen didn't care about Shen Feiling who was dressed in light purple clothes at all, her eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Lian, who was still dressed in green clothes, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her lips, she still came after all.
When Shen Lian and Shen Feiling appeared, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the two of them.
Originally, the people who came to attend the birthday banquet, except for Shen Lian, who had not arrived early, had already been sitting upright for a long time, waiting for the birthday banquet to begin.
Shen Lian is Yin Chen's fiancΓ©e, and everyone naturally has their own guesses about her delayed arrival.
Those young ladies who were secretly guessing whether Shen Lian was not coming were suddenly a little disappointed when they saw Shen Lian.
