Chapter 55: The Feast of the Palace (2)
"Boss Yan. I'm glad you came." Dongfang Yuan, one of the hostesses, quickly reacted. Caught up with Yan Ran.
After getting closer. She asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you wear the dress of 'Splendid Fang'?"
"The dress is so precious. I'm afraid I'll break it." Yan Ran replied with a smile. His gaze swept over the crowd of people watching the excitement around him. Soon. Her gaze fell on the young man beside Dongfang Ming who was wearing a purple dress.
The man was looking at her at this time. Meet her gaze. He nodded slightly. Laughed a little. Yan Ran quickly smiled back indifferently and politely. This young man though she was seeing for the first time. But. But she already knew about him. The Six Princes. Qi Xiaotian.
Among the many heirs of Emperor Qi. The sixth prince, Qi Xiaotian, can only be regarded as a mediocre person. Not particularly smart. Do whatever Emperor Qi explains. can only do just passing the level. Compared with the second prince with outstanding ability. The Six Princes really don't have any advantages. But. Yan Ran was very interested in this sixth prince who had just passed the work. In her opinion. I'm afraid this sixth prince is not as mediocre as he appears. Of course. She needed more evidence to prove her suspicions.
Dongfang Ming quickly returned to her. Wanted to hold her hand. was preempted by Dongfang Yuan.
Dongfang Yuan held Yan Ran's hand. smiled and said to Dongfang Ming: "Brother. Boss Yan, leave it to me. You can rest assured. I'll take good care of Boss Yan."
Today's banquet is very grand. But. It's because there are so many people. So. It is divided into two areas: men and women. Although it is said that there is not so much red tape in the Fengtian Continent. But. Separate banquets for men and women are also a regular practice.
At this time. The Sixth Prince, Qi Xiaotian, also came over." Is this the prince's most precious confidante?"
Qi Xiaotian is a gentle person. No matter what it is. Or talking. Even emoticons. He gives people a feeling of gentleness like a spring breeze.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." Yan Ran is blessed. It can be regarded as a salute to Qi Xiaotian. In fact, according to her current advanced cultivation. She didn't have to salute the Six Princes at all.
"Hello Miss Yanran." Qi Xiaotian smiled and nodded. Instead, he looked at the East." No wonder the prince has a deep affection for Miss Yanran. Miss Yan Ran is exactly as rumored. Gorgeous."
Dongfang Ming listened to Qi Xiaotian's praise. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. I'm in a terrible mood.
He laughed. There was a gasp around them. Then. There was an exclamation.
Someone fainted.
Yan Ran looked at the place that had suddenly become a mess. Shake your head and laugh. Is the charm of the Oriental Ming really so great? Just smiled. It made those nymphomaniacs faint.
The place where the banquet was held was the Chongwen Hall, the largest in the Han Palace. Chongwen Hall near the lake. Outside is the garden. Because it's winter. The flowers and trees have no spirit. But. The palace of the Han Dynasty is decorated with silk flowers and silk on the flower trees. Look. It's a bit of a vibrant look.
The feast has not yet begun. Visitors from the temple. Groups of three or five are chatting. And the female guests were arranged to be in the side of the hall.
When Yan Ran was taken to the side hall by Dongfang Yuan. Looking at a room full of noble ladies. Miss Jiao. frowned slightly.
She didn't have much experience attending such a banquet. Not stage fright though. But. But I feel bored.
Yan Ran appeared. The side hall fell silent all at once. Everyone's eyes fell on Yan Ran.
Yan Ran originally didn't want to have anything to do with these women. But. Thinking about what she was going to do in the future. She still cheered up. She wants to integrate into this circle as soon as possible. No matter when. The power of women is not to be underestimated.
Although she knew. She is probably not popular with these people. Even because of the Oriental Underworld. She's going to be ostracized. But. She knew how to deal with these women. This woman. Whether it's modern or here. The content of the chat is nothing more than clothing, makeup, men. Of course, there are all kinds of gossip.
And these few things. There is no shortage of Yan Ranke.
Although Dongfang Yuan is only a side concubine. Put it before. Some people don't take her seriously. But. Since the return of the East. After becoming the King of Escape. No one dares to underestimate her as a side concubine anymore. Plus. Concubine Han is now seriously ill. Lingering sickbed. Today's banquet is Dongfang Yuan, the side concubine, taking the lead. So. A lot of people speculate. If anything happens to the concubine of the Han Dynasty. Dongfang Yuan is likely to go further. Become the new concubine of the Han Dynasty.
So. When Dongfang Yuan personally led Yan Ran to the middle position and introduced it to everyone. These women are still very enthusiastic on the surface.
The most noble person in the side hall is now the county lord of Yuancheng. This county lord of Yuancheng is the cousin of the current Emperor Qi. Looks like he's in his forties. Dignified and beautiful. There is a kind of royal majesty all over the body.
Yan Ran already knew. The relationship between this Yuancheng County Lord and Emperor Qi is not ordinary. It is said that he grew up with Emperor Qi when he was a child. Once Emperor Qi was assassinated. It was this county lord of Yuancheng who sacrificed his life to save Emperor Qi's life. Emperor Qi has always been grateful to her.
Pity. The life of this Yuancheng county lord is not good. When he was young, he died. Leave her a young child. Originally, Emperor Qi still wanted to marry her. Pity. The county lord of Yuancheng has a deep affection for the dead county horse. I have always been reluctant to marry another. Living alone with a child.
Yan Ran admires this Yuancheng County Lord. Because she is an optimistic person. Her attitude to life is praised by Yan Ran.
Dongfang Yuan directly introduced Yan Ran to the county lord of Yuancheng. It is because here Yuancheng is the largest. Dongfang Yuan, as the hostess, can't always be by Yan Ran's side. But. If there is a county lord of Yuancheng who takes care of Yan Ran. No one dares to bully Yan Ran.
The county lord of Yuancheng looked Yan Ran up and down. Smiled and nodded. Pull Yan Ran to sit down." I've heard for a long time that we have a beautiful and moving girl from Qijing. The Joy King is very baby. Didn't expect. It can be seen in the Han Palace. It's a worthwhile trip today."
"The county lord praised it. Those are just rumors." Yan Ran smiled kindly.
In modern times. Yan Ran is known as the "Thousand-Faced Fox", and what he is best at is disguise. And the most basic ability to support her to become another person. It's camouflage and acting.
Today her makeup and outfits crush her beauty. A touch of nobility and elegance. This is accompanied by a sincere and kind smile. successfully made the county lord of Yuancheng have a good impression of her. Of course. This is also Yan Ran's preference for checking the preferences of the county lord of Yuancheng in advance.
In fact. Most of the women in the side hall have never seen the real Yan Ran. Just heard a lot of rumors. Preconceived notions that Yan Ran is a vixen. Not a good woman. Now see real people. See her noble and elegant appearance. Most people are confused in their hearts. But. Doubts are doubts. They didn't show it. Just quietly watching. Listen. After all. This is not a place where you can talk casually.
Lord Yuancheng listened to Yan Ran's words. Smiled. Yan Ran could see the kindness in her eyes at a glance. Although she didn't know if this Yuancheng County Lord liked her or not. But. As long as it's not annoying.
"I think Boss Yan is more beautiful than the rumors." At this time. A young girl sitting next to her suddenly spoke. You say. Boss Yan and Sister Punishment are compared. Who is more beautiful?"
Yan Ran sighed in his heart. She knew it wasn't going to go that way. Finally, someone came up to provoke it.
Yan Ran smiled at the girl. Miss Wen laughed. Yan Ran's appearance is entirely due to makeup. It can't be compared with Miss Xing's natural beauty." This girl Yan Ran also knows. The daughter of General Wenda. Wen Xiao's sister. WEN Qiang. And Princess Ruiying is good friends.
"I think Boss Yan and Miss Xing have their own merits. A glamorous. A clear and elegant. There is no comparison at all. But. It's all the same, it's a great beauty." At this time. A girl in a pink dress spoke.
Yan Ran covered her mouth and smiled. It seems that Yan Ran's makeup is too successful today."
"You kid. You're beautiful. Makeup is just the icing on the cake." Lord Yuancheng suddenly spoke.
Yan Ran smiled and looked at the county lord of Yuancheng. The county lord has a lot of trouble. This makeup trick. It is one of the most amazing technologies in the world. It can turn decay into magic." After Yan Ran finished speaking. I took a look around. Then he said, "Now there is still a little time before leaving the feast. Or. How about Yan Ran do a magic trick for everyone."
"Magic." Lord Yuncheng asked curiously.
"I don't know if you're interested." Yan Ran asked with a smile.
"Okay. Sitting here is sitting anyway." Lord Yuancheng opened his mouth. Others can't say no.
Yan Ran looked around. said to Wen Qiang: "I don't know if I can borrow a Miss Wen's ring."
Wen Qiang didn't know what Yan Ran wanted to do. Instinctively want to refuse. But. I thought about it for a while and agreed. Turned to Yahuan behind him and said, "Boss Yan will do whatever you tell you to do. You know what." Wen Qiang spoke at the same time. looked at his own ring with deep meaning. That girl has been by Wen Qiang's side since she was a child. Of course I know what Wen Qiang means. Blessed, blessed." The slave knows."
Yan Ran is not a fool. Of course, I understand what Wen Qiang means by saying "do whatever you tell you to do". Actually, you don't have to do anything. Just sit here." Yan Ran said and motioned for the girl to sit in the corner. Carrying everyone on their backs.
Everyone doesn't know what Yan Ran wants to do. They all looked at her curiously.
Yan Ran quickly instructed the maid of the palace to fetch water. washed Wen Qiang's face with a handful of rings. Washed all the fat powder off her face. Showing your true face. This girl is ordinary-looking. The facial features are also not featured. It's the type that you see and forget.
Yan Ran took out the makeup bag that she had prepared a long time ago. smiled and said to the county lord of Yuancheng: "The county lord. Ladies, Miss. Please wait a moment."
After Yan Ran finished speaking. Hands and feet quickly began to put on makeup for the girl.
Everyone saw that she actually put on makeup for a girl ring in public. I don't know what she wants to do though. But. But there was a look of disdain on his face. They're all people of status. How could it be possible to do such a thing in public. A businessman is a businessman. Cheap.
