Chapter 29: Who to Believe?
He guarded day and night, but he didn't guard against it, Xiao Wenqing approached Du Yan, thinking of Xiao Wenqing, Xiao Yechen's face was even more terrifying.
"Childe, do we still want to continue to protect Miss Du Yan?" Leng Yan had the courage to ask, but as if he had asked a nonsense, he was slapped by Xiao Yechen.
"Next time, if Yan'er suffers this kind of thing again, you will come to see you." Xiao Yechen changed his gentle and elegant expression in the past, and at this moment, a layer of frost seemed to be condensed on his handsome face.
Leng Yan and Leng Yu both shivered, it seemed that Gongzi was in a very bad mood, and he didn't know how long they would kneel tonight, thinking of Leng Yan, who had his tragic fate, suddenly shed two lines of tears in his heart.
It's hard to be a bodyguard.
Xiao Yechen stood with his hands in his hands, a pair of gray eyes revealing an unknown look, and he stared at the Xuanyue in the sky thoughtfully.
The next day, Du Yan's Courtyard.
Du Yan, who bathed last night, rested early, and slept until three o'clock in the morning, but no one bothered her on this day, and even took Xiaolu to rest for a while.
Until the knock on the door sounded, a servant of the Du family came to report. Xiao Lu saw that he was panting for breath, so he hurriedly poured a glass of water.
"Xiao Dongzi, what's so urgent."
"Eh, Sister Green, why are you still so leisurely! Miss! Xiao Dongzi, who came to report, was not very old, and his clean little face was full of sweat, and he was even more anxious when he saw Xiao Lu's unhurried look.
"Miss is resting, don't make any noise."
"Still resting!? Doesn't the eldest lady know that the emperor set up a banquet behind the mountain today, and asked the major families to hunt! Now everyone has gone, but the eldest lady is not here, so the master is here! ”
"Huh? Wait a minute. After hearing this, Xiao Lu immediately ran into the house, what's going on, why didn't anyone come to report?
Du Yan, who was sleeping soundly in the morning, was suddenly woken up, and she opened a pair of sleepy eyes to see the person clearly.
"Midori..., what's the matter? No, it's just-ah" Du Yan was dragged up by Xiao Lu before she finished speaking.
"Miss, get up! Today's holy banquet is set up behind the mountain, you are late! Xiao Lu couldn't wait to spend all his talking skills on grooming Du Yan.
Today is the royal paddock, and Du Yan will definitely be scolded by the lord for being late, but Xiao Lu can't think of anything else now, and just wants to pack up Du Yan and send it to the paddock.
A plain white robe with bright red edges, and a piece of white marble pendant hanging from the waist. The little green hand braided Du Yan's hair, and her long ink-colored hair was tied up high, adding a heroic spirit to Du Yan, and there were no ornaments on her body except for a jade pendant, and the whole person was very capable. In the end, Xiao Lu put on a bright red gauze dress for Du Yan, her aura instantly improved, and the whole person had a temperament that could not be ignored.
Du Yan turned around in front of the bronze mirror and looked at Xiao Lu helplessly.
"Little Green, I'm already late, you're dressing me up so eye-catching, won't I be the first to be named when I enter the paddock."
"It's certain that you'll be named, miss, you'd better think of a reason first. As for how you dress, you are the eldest lady of the Du family, so you naturally want to suppress others! Xiao Lu felt that what she said was right, holding her hands on her chest, looking like a young lady was the best in the world.
Du Yan glanced at the person in the mirror, turned around and walked out of the door, she also learned from Xiao Yechen and took a folding fan. The fan is painted with a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers, Du Yan is quite imposing to fold the fan, and takes Xiao Lu and Xiao Dongzi to the paddock like a soldier on the battlefield.
Oh, play this kind of trick. Causing her to be late for such an important scene, you don't have to think that it must be Du Juan'er's idea, and it is too ridiculous to rely on this little cleverness to bring down her Du Yan.
Du Yan led the people to the paddock, and at this time the banquet had begun, and all the relatives on both sides of the table were royal relatives. The singer who was dancing in the middle of the square also finished singing a song and was about to go down.
Du Yan saw the opportunity, gritted her teeth secretly, lightly spread the folding fan with her bare hands, and came to the center of the dance arena with a twist. The fan embroidered with mountains and rivers covered half of the face, and Du Yan danced a fan dance for the group in a graceful posture.
The people who were supposed to be on the field didn't know what to do after seeing Du Yan. They all stood at the entrance and watched. Xiao Lu and Xiao Dongzi walked from one side to the seat of the prime minister's family and stood silently at Du Yan's place.
The old prime minister turned his head sideways and asked Xiao Dongzi what was going on, Xiao Dongzi sweated on his forehead and said that he didn't know, and Du Chengxiang, who couldn't ask anything, was a little depressed.
At this time, except for some people who had never seen Du Yan, they had already seen that the dancer on the stage was Du Yan. Especially the princes, they looked surprised, or with a smile on their eyebrows, or like Xiao Yechen, their brows were furrowed.
He naturally likes to watch Du Yan dance, but he doesn't want to share it with others, so he drank several glasses of stuffy wine a little angrily, Xiao Huaiyan, who was sitting next to him, smiled and touched Xiao Yechen's cup, and then stared at Du Yan with a playful face.
As soon as Du Yan danced, all four of them stood up and applauded her, and the cheers were thunderous for a while, which pushed the banquet to a climax. Even the old emperor applauded again and again.
"This is the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion? It's really a peerless elegance. The emperor praised it, and the prime minister hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"The emperor praised it falsely, if she could make the emperor happy, the old minister would spare her for the punishment of fooling around."
When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, how dare the prime minister punish him, this should be rewarded!" Come on, reward the eldest lady of the Du family with a thousand taels of silver and a set of gold jewelry! ”
The emperor was overjoyed by Du Yan's impromptu performance, and he had a very good attitude towards Du Yan, and hurriedly asked someone to seat Du Yan.
Du Yan thanked the emperor for the reward and followed the eunuch who led the way to his seat. As soon as she sat down, she was immediately pulled away by Du Chuanlin, Du Chuanlin was a little angry with Du Yan's recklessness, but the emperor rewarded her instead of blaming, and only suppressed this one thing in his heart.
"You're such a fool." Although there is no need to scold, but Du Yan's move is really reckless, in case the emperor doesn't think it's funny, wouldn't it be a trouble for the Du family, Du Chuanlin's tone is not light and serious to educate Du Yan.
"It's my daughter who doesn't think about it." Du Yan sat on the stool and bowed slightly, which can be regarded as an explanation to Du Chuanlin.
Du Chuanlin nodded, it was good for Du Yan to know his mistake like this, after all, he didn't cause any big disaster. But Aunt He beside Du Chuanlin frowned.
"Yan'er, why are you so ignorant of the importance of the public, have you ever thought about the face of the Du family!" Aunt He stiffened her neck, but she looked a little unrelenting, Du Chuanlin didn't speak beside her, but just drank a cup of tea lightly.
