Chapter 20 into the Duan Mansion
"Eldest Miss, that's His Royal Highness the Prince, looking at their direction, it seems that they are really going to congratulate the old lady on her birthday!" Ah Xiang was a little excited.
Duan Liyan turned his eyes, her father was also a high authority, it seemed that every prince was interested in being close, and her grandmother was still the emperor's first-class lady, so she naturally had status.
After several layers of relationship, it is estimated that in addition to the emperor's relatives in the court, many officials will also go.
It should be a lively day.
Duan Liyan got into the carriage briskly and headed towards Duan Fu.
Outside the majestic Duan Mansion, there were already crowds of people and carriages who came to congratulate them, and there was a scene like a city.
The housekeeper Ye Mao, who is Ye Yin's cousin, is dressed elegantly at the gate at the moment, and when he meets an official, he is full of smiles, and the official is small, and he loves to ignore it.
Duan Liyan sat in the carriage and watched for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head, if the Duan family goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid that the crisis is gradually rising.
Suddenly, Duan Liyan caught a glimpse of Xiao Qianhuan's carriage stopping in front, and Xiao Qianhuan had just stepped down from the carriage, and when he went down, he seemed to have glanced in her direction.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
There was a small servant who specially reported that this time not only Ye Mao's face was full of sycophants, but her father Duan Li also walked out of it quickly.
Duan Liyan watched them welcome Xiao Duan in, and the other heavyweight guests were almost there, before they got out of the carriage.
It's not that she's afraid to see them, but she doesn't like to be judged, so she should avoid them as much as possible to save her upset.
took Ah Xiang to the door, just as Ye Mao returned, and the moment he saw Duan Liyan, his face changed, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
He looked Duan Liyan up and down, only to see that he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the little girl who had been carved in pink and jade back then had grown so slim and graceful, so that his heart couldn't help but start rippling, staring at Duan Liyan's gaze becoming more and more presumptuous.
That gaze was so obvious that Ah Xiang on the side noticed that something was wrong, and subconsciously walked in front of Duan Liyan, blocking Ye Mao's sight.
Ye Mao frowned, glared at Ah Xiang impatiently, and then walked over with a smile.
"Oh, whose girl is this, what a sign she looks like. ”
The yin and yang weird tone made Duan Liyan frown slightly, and his eyes were cold.
"Butler Ye. Out of courtesy, Duan Liyan still greeted him lightly.
Unexpectedly, that Ye Mao actually walked over, a pair of mung bean eyes flashed with an obscene light, looking at Duan Liyan, who was very beautiful today, and unconsciously stretched out his hand towards Duan Liyan.
"What are you doing!" Ah Xiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Ye Mao.
"The fourth prince, Li Shizi has arrived!"
At this time, there was a sound outside the door, Ye Mao's expression tightened, he glanced at Ah Xiang impatiently, and turned his head to greet the distinguished guest.
Duan Liyan took a deep breath, this Ye Mao, really like that Ye Yin, is a raccoon dog, not a good person, heh, he must not mess with her, otherwise......
"Let's go. Duan Liyan took Ah Xiang and approached Duan's mansion generously.
Looking at the people in the courtyard, Duan Liyan only felt panicked in front of him, and he was very chaotic.
"Miss, there are so many people. Ah Xiang looked at the eyes full of human heads and couldn't help but sigh.
"You follow me, don't run around. Duan Liyan instructed uneasily.
"Ah Xiang knows. After listening, Ah Xiang's mind couldn't help but think of the cruel faces of Ye Yin and Duan Wanyu's mother and daughter, and unconsciously approached Duan Liyan.
When the two of them walked to the banquet hall, most of the guests had already entered.
Glancing at the wooden box in Ah Xiang's arms, Duan Liyan raised his head slightly, his posture was Tingting, and he walked in.
It was the first time for Ah Xiang to see such a big battle, and she was nervous all over her body, and she lowered her head heavily and followed behind Duan Liyan.
The banquet hall, which was a little noisy just now, was unconsciously quiet after Duan Liyan walked in.
Everyone's eyes fell on the red figure, the pleated skirt with a corset waist reflected her graceful figure just right, her long ink-colored hair was like a waterfall, flowing and smart, her face was like a peach blossom, her skin was like congealed fat, especially her eyes that cut water and autumn shadows, clear and bright, with a calm and calm that did not belong to her age.
What a generous, beautiful and dusty girl!
Feeling the gazes from all directions, Duan Li was beside him as if there was nothing beside him, and slowly walked to the front.
Suddenly, Duan Liyan felt a gaze that was different from other people's, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes, and he saw a pair of deep eyes, looking at her fixedly.
This person is, Xiao Duhuan.
Duan Liyan nodded generously at Xiao Qianhuan.
Then she saluted to her grandmother, Mrs. Du, who was sitting on the top of the table, and her father, and bowed deeply, "I wish my grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea, a longevity than Nanshan, and a visit to my father." ”
"Okay, Martyr, sit down. "Mrs. Du is rare and kind today, one is to celebrate her birthday happily, and the other is to maintain a happy and happy admiration in front of so many people.
Duan Liyan straightened up and looked around, there was no vacant place on the side of the Duan family's relatives, he was stunned for a moment, Duan Liyan glanced at the other side, over there, there were only three or two empty positions, one was in Xiao Qianhuan, and the other two were in the ...... Next to the two young men, if she guessed correctly, those two people should be the fourth prince Xiao Qianfeng and the prince Li Ming.
Ye Yin and Duan Wanyu glanced at each other, a faint smile hung on the corner of their mouths, but banter flashed in their eyes, who doesn't know, the prince is indifferent by nature and doesn't like women, because no one dares to sit next to him, and that Xiao Qianfeng and Li Shizi are the dreams of all women, yes, no one dares to sit down, for fear that if he is not careful, he will become the love rival of all women in the capital.
Duan Lixian was only stunned for a moment, then she raised her foot and walked to Xiao Qianhuan very naturally, first blessed him, and then sat generously in the position where Xiao Qianhuan started.
Everyone looked at it curiously, and some people were quite nervous to observe Xiao Qianhuan's reaction, but they didn't expect that this time Xiao Qianhuan's face was not as dark as before, but his expression seemed to have softened a lot.
All the guests are seated, and the highlight of the day will soon begin, that is, the juniors of the Duan family will celebrate the birthday of the old birthday star.
First of all, the Privy Council envoy Duan Li, knelt down to congratulate Mrs. Du on her birthday, and gave a pure jade statue of Guanyin.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yin congratulated the old lady on her birthday and sent very rare fabrics.
Later, it was their turn to be their granddaughters.
The reason why she said that she was a grandchild, Duan Liyan also said that she was very helpless, she was a scumbag father, I don't know if she had done too many bad things or what, in the past few years, the concubines have been accepted one after another, but they can't give birth to a son, which is also a taboo in the Duan Mansion, and no one dares to mention it.
"Yan'er, you are the eldest sister, let you be the first to start congratulating the old lady on her birthday!" Ye Yin put on the posture of being the housewife, with a virtuous smile on her face, and said softly.
Duan Liyan smacked his lips in his heart, this scene started too quickly.
