Chapter 40: Nalan Yanran in full costume
On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, it is appropriate to feast, prosper, engage, and kill...... All in all, it's a good day for everything.
Early in the morning, the streets of the imperial capital were full of traffic, and the Nalan family, one of the three major families of the empire, was the source of all the excitement, and the upper dignitaries of the imperial capital came and went, in an endless stream.
At this time, there was a special group of people gathered at the gate of Nalan's house, all of them were dressed in alchemist robes, and the bright silver ripples on their chests proudly showed their identity and rank.
In the crowded streets, all passers-by will look at the group of alchemists who whisper to each other with envy and awe, and in their hearts, alchemists are a noble profession like nobles. Once you become a glorious alchemist, you represent entering the upper class of the imperial capital, above most people.
Today's banquet in Nalan's house, after the momentum of some well-intentioned people, has already spread in the imperial capital.
Nalan Su did not give any exact statement about Chen Shuai's request, today he just wanted to feast Chen Shuai, wanted to negotiate with him, and promised to let Chen Shuai help with other heavy profits.
But now, under the deliberate momentum of some people, it seems that it has developed into the 'engagement banquet' between Chen Shuai and Nalan Yanran, and the 'engagement banquet' of the future sect master of Yunlan Sect, which is naturally a big event, attracting the magnates of the imperial capital to rush to offer congratulatory gifts, and those certain people are naturally members of the princelings who are good friends with Chen Shuai.
There was a lot of noise in Nalan Mansion, and the stewards were scrambling to deal with this unexpected development, registering people and adding seats, but Nalan Su, as the head of the family, and the old man Nalan Ji were nowhere to be seen.
Although the recurrence of the poison at that moment made Nalan Ji faint, but it was not enough to kill Nalan Ji, after a few days of recuperation, now Nalan Ji can move freely.
At this moment, in a certain room in the inner courtyard of Nalan House, Nalan Ji's expression was gloomy as if he was about to drip water.
"Okay, okay, I won't be able to die for a while. Suddenly, Nalan Ji suddenly burst out in anger.
"Father, I ......" Nalan stood solemnly in front of Nalan Ji, about to speak.
"You, you, what are you, what do you ......" Nalan Ji slapped the table with a slam on the table, slapping a precious golden silk nanmu table into debris all over the ground, and the mighty power of the fighting king made Nalan Su couldn't help but turn pale.
"I'm not dead yet, old man, and even if I'm about to die, I won't allow anyone to threaten me. Nalan said angrily, showing his recklessness and unyieldingness.
"Chen Shuai, right, very good, he dared to blackmail my Nalan family to marry him, this is a great shame, if you promise me, even if you can survive, what face will there be, even if I die, this matter will not let this kind of thing happen. ”
"Father, don't be angry first, there is someone behind this matter, don't worry, Yan Ran and I will never let him agree. Nalan Su assured.
At this moment, a middle-aged steward appeared at the door and reported to the two that Chen Shuai, the prince and others had arrived, and the core figure had arrived, so Nalan Su naturally didn't want to show up again.
......
"Miss, the head of the house is calling you out. In the quiet and chic courtyard, a maid knocked on the door and spoke.
"Got it. Nalan Yanran's cold voice came from the room.
This is a simple room, without too much decoration, only in some subtle details can be seen some of the girlish mood, this is Nalan Yanran's boudoir.
Today's Nalan Yanran is no longer wearing the moon-white robe that represents her identity as the heir of the Yunlan Sect, but instead she has changed into a beautiful skirt that is loved by the girls of the imperial capital, but the color is still white, giving people a sense of simplicity.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran was sitting in front of the dresser, and in front of her stood an oval copper mirror, surrounded by double dragons on the base, and the mirror reflected a flawless face, although it was a little immature, but it had begun to take shape.
Raising her hand slightly, Nalan Yanran held a bright red lip grease with her fingers in both hands, and put it on her mouth, her lips, which already had a unique pale pink color, opened slightly, and gently swiped the lip grease, and it was released in an instant, and suddenly the corners of her lips were dyed with a layer of blood-like demonic color.
The small nose exudes a luster like a round mutton fat jade, and people can't help but want to take a bite.
On top of it are the beautiful eyes like autumn water, clear and quiet, the long eyelashes fluttering, dazzling, and the slightly upturned corners of the eyes are outlined by the moderate color of the eyeshadow.
This was the first time she had dressed up since she entered the sect master of the Yunlan Sect, because today was a special day, she would agree to Chen Shuai's request, and she would kill Nalan Ji after the poison on his body was removed...... Everything has been planned, and in the end, she will bear all the infamy.
......
The morning passed in the lively greetings, and the guests sat down one after another, and in the end, even Nalan Ji endured the fire in his belly and sat in the first place with a black face.
"What about Yanran?" Nalan Su quietly asked the steward beside him, his heart jumped, and he couldn't help but think of a bad possibility, 'Nalan Yanran has returned to Yunlan Mountain to escape'.
Just when Nalan was speculating to himself, outside the door, a gorgeous girl in a white dress appeared, which immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone in the hall.
'Smack, bang, ding'
The sound of various wine glasses falling to the ground sounded one after another, and at this moment, I don't know how many men secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and were amazed by the girl who entered the door with an elegant posture, and then, countless whispers sounded.
At the head of the hall, Nalan Ji and Nalan Su frowned at the same time, and Chen Shuai, as the protagonist, came back from his amazing state, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
Beside Chen Shuai, a trace of imperceptible greed flashed in the eyes of the prince of the Gama Empire, but he hid it well, and glanced at Chen Shuai, both of whom smiled knowingly.
Looking at this Nalan Yanran, they can dress up, they are already very sure that their momentum plan is successful, and under the huge pressure of public opinion, even Nalan Yanran does not dare to easily bear the name of great unfilial piety.
At another table in the hall occupied by the ladies of the imperial capital, the little princess Yue'er pulled the corner of Concubine Ya's clothes and asked suspiciously, "Sister Concubine Ya, what are you going to do?"
Concubine Ya looked at Nalan Yanran who was dressed up, slightly distracted, and couldn't help but think of the discussion with Xu Le yesterday, she asked Xu Le what the success rate was if Nalan Yanran really chose to do it to Chen Shuai, at that time Xu Le looked at his eyes and made a duck egg gesture without any joke, zero, it was completely impossible to succeed.
Concubine Ya took a deep breath and looked out of the hall, secretly anxious in her heart.
"Didn't this wrongdoer say that he would come to help?
At this moment, Concubine Ya suddenly noticed that the light and shadow on the ground of the trail were a little strange, and the banana leaves, which were originally motionless, seemed to be touched by an invisible person at this moment, swaying up and down.
Concubine Ya was wondering to herself, and it didn't take long for Concubine Ya to feel that someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and she couldn't help but let out a coquettish exclamation.
This coquettish voice instantly attracted the attention of many people, and under the contemplation of a group of Fighting Spirit Fighting King powerhouses, even the invisibility cloak had nothing to hide.
Before those strong people made a move, Xu Le took off his cloak and appeared in everyone's sight, shocking.
"Well, passing by here, I saw the gongs and drums of your house, and I was curious to come in and take a look, and I hope to forgive the old man Nalan. ”
