Chapter 35
There are six granddaughters in the Yan family, among them, the eldest daughter Yan Yiran, the second daughter Yan Yuxin is married, and the remaining four daughters have all received royal invitations. When Yan Xiaoxiao walked to the door, it happened that the other three daughters had just Walking to the door, seeing Yan Xiaoxiao approaching, Yan Caidie, who originally planned to get into the carriage instead, stopped her movements and walked in front of Yan Xiaoxiao.

"It turns out that you, a wild girl, have also received an invitation, but..." Yan Caidie looked Yan Xiaoxiao up and down in disgust, "With your rustic dress, I'm afraid not only you won't be selected as the prince concubine, but you will be the concubine." It will only embarrass our Yan family."

Without squinting, Yan Xiaoxiao walked past Yan Caidie to her carriage, her voice came from the front faintly, "An ignorant and useless woman will be proud of finding a good backer. Miss San, who is 'big', Zhizhi, please forgive me for not being flattering, and, don't you notice that there is a vegetable leaf between your teeth?"

As soon as Yan Xiaoxiao said this, several servants lowered their heads and covered their mouths and snickered. Although they didn't dare to laugh out loud, their twitching jaws proved that they were indeed laughing.

Yan Caidie immediately became angry, "Yan Xiaoxiao! You! Don't be complacent, just wait for me!"

Yan Xiaoxiao calmly climbed into the carriage, and after she was seated, she slowly opened the curtain and looked at Yan Caidie, "Your catchphrase is too boring, Chuntao, let's go, after spending a long time with the brainless, you will Infected."

The coachman got the master's order and drove away in the carriage. Yan Caidie was so angry that his face was deformed.What's even more exasperating is that the two dead girls of Sifang's family didn't even help her, they just stood aside and watched the fun.

Hmph, is it possible that the fourth bedroom really wants to fight against the third bedroom?
"Miss, it's time for us to set off." Seeing the other ladies' carriages leaving one after another, the personal servant girl had no choice but to approach Yan Caidie carefully to remind her.

Yancaidi glared at the girl, and vented all her anger on her, "When will Miss Ben set off, will it be your turn to arrange it? Are you looking down on me like they do?" I, don't accept me!"

The servant girl's eyes were red from being scolded, and she kept kneeling and kowtowing, "Young lady, please calm down, young lady, please calm down, servant girl, servant girl, I definitely don't dare to have such thoughts..."

"Huh, there is no best thing, just watch, this lady will definitely be selected as the princess today, and she, Yan Xiaoxiao, will repent at that time!" Yan Caidie got on the carriage angrily, and it took her a long time to put herself in the carriage. Calm down, and then organize your clothes and makeup to the best.

The last time the palace was stolen, she had an intuition that Yan Xiaoxiao was framing her, but because she couldn't find any evidence, her grandfather didn't believe her words at all.Since grandpa won't avenge herself, then she must rely on her own strength to reach the peak and avenge herself!

On the other side, Yan Xiaoxiao's carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the palace. Just as Yan Xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage, an eunuch in the palace recognized the Yan family's carriage and trotted over, "But the Yan family Is your lady here?"

Yan Xiaoxiao smiled slightly at the eunuch, dressed in black, she looked down on the world under the sun, "Little girl Yan Xiaoxiao, I implore father-in-law to lead the way."

The wife overheard Yan Xiaoxiao's name, knew that she was the sixth young lady of the Yan family who had just returned to the clan, and heard that she was not very favored at home, so she looked at her with subtle eyes.

But after all, he is in the deep palace, and he has his own way of observing words and demeanor. Seeing that although Yan Xiaoxiao is young, he has extraordinary momentum. Zhang smiled, "So it's Miss Yanliu, please come this way." He said, making an inviting gesture.

Yan Xiaoxiao took Chuntao and followed the eunuch into the palace gate. Chuntao entered the palace for the first time, and she was surprised by everything she saw. Along the way, her eyes were bright, like a newborn child, looking at the world curiously.

"Miss, this imperial palace is so big. We have been walking for so long, but we still feel that we have only touched the tip of the iceberg." Chun Tao sighed softly in Yan Xiaoxiao's ear.

When Yan Xiaoxiao heard the words, she smiled softly, "Have you ever heard of the Sixth Palace of the Three Palaces and the Seventy-two Concubine? The emperor wants to house three thousand women in the harem. If he doesn't grow up, how can he accommodate so many people?"

The two were whispering, laughing while talking, and the eunuch probably heard some of the conversation, but he had already practiced the ability to "listen to what should be heard, and not to hear what should not be heard", so even if The reason Yan Xiaoxiao gave to Chuntao was absurd and disrespectful, and he acted as if he hadn't heard it, and led the way with a moody expression.

"Miss Yanliu, it's just ahead." The eunuch leading the way stopped in front of a big arched door.

Looking through the arch, there is a big yard inside, a big platform has been set up, and there are tables, chairs and benches around the platform. Yan Xiaoxiao came early, and only a few people were seated sporadically , Yan Xiaoxiao glanced over, but couldn't find any acquaintances.

Yan Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and walked straight over, and immediately another eunuch came out to lead the way, "This is Miss Yan Family Six, your place is here."

"Thank you father-in-law." Yan Xiaoxiao casually stuffed a few pieces of silver into the father-in-law's hand. As a person who grew up in the palace, she still understands these rules.

Sure enough, the eunuch's smile became even brighter, and he respectfully brought Yan Xiaoxiao to her place.

I have to say that Yan Xiao's high official position can indeed bring benefits to his family. No, Yan Xiaoxiao's position is in the first row, and the front table is where the adults are, a little bit behind The table at the head of the family is where the young ladies of their descendants are located, while other officials with smaller official positions can only be arranged by the head of the family at the back.

"Miss, servant girl, servant girl is a little nervous..." After Yan Xiaoxiao sat down, Chuntao whispered in her ear with a disturbed expression.

Yan Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at her, "Why are you nervous? This is the palace, not a place to eat people."

"This is the first time for a servant to enter the palace. I heard that the master in the palace is very difficult to serve. If you make a slight mistake, you will lose your head. Miss, if the servant fails to serve you well, will you..."

Yan Xiaoxiao sighed, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "You don't have to be afraid, just stand by my side and take good care of me."

Chuntao was still a little uneasy. While the two were talking, many ministers and their family members had already taken their seats one after another, and a few other girls from the Yan family who were a little behind them also entered the venue one after another. Everything was pretty good, the only bad news That is, the four young ladies of the Yan family were arranged at the same table, and what was even more unfortunate was that Yan Xiaoxiao and Yan Caidie happened to be facing each other.

"Hmph!" Yan Caidie glared at her viciously, snorted coldly, and turned her gaze away.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't care much about her attitude, anyway, she was just here for a formality, if Yan Caidie didn't take the initiative to provoke her, she would wait peacefully until the banquet was over, if Yan Caidie came to the door by herself , she will not be soft.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the seats on the court were almost full. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by the eunuch's singing: "The emperor is here! The empress is here! His Royal Highness is here! Eighth His Royal Highness is here!"

All the ministers and family members knelt down and knelt together, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Yan Xiaoxiao also lowered her body, but being blocked by so many black heads, she didn't kneel down, she just squatted down, and when the emperor sat down, she stood up as fast as she could and returned to her bed. seat.

Of course, no one noticed her small movements.

"Today is the ceremony for Tianlan's 20th year-old weak crown. You will treat it as a family banquet, so you don't have to be polite." The emperor gave an order, and immediately the palace people came in with delicious food and wine. Jis entered the arena one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene was full of joy.

The process of the banquet was lacklustre, it was nothing more than monarchs and ministers saying decent things to each other, toasting, and then watching singing and dancing performances, Yan Xiaoxiao had no interest in this.

But today, apart from celebrating the eighth prince Yelu Tianlan's weak crown ceremony, the emperor has another plan.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor quietly winked at the empress who was sitting beside him. The empress understood and said with a smile in her gentle yet majestic tone: "I heard that many daughters of great families have It is also predestined to come to participate in Lao Ba's Weak Crown Ceremony, if we all recommend it to this palace, we ladies and gentlemen can't understand their men's high-spirited talk, right?"

The implication is to enter the topic of tonight.

Choose concubines for the princes.

The emperor and his concubines have a total of five princes. Among them, the second prince, the crown prince Yelu Honghua, is the oldest. However, Yelu Honghua has not been named a concubine until now. Princess An's marriage contract, so there is not even a side concubine, and there are only two concubines in the family, and they have no status.

The queen only has one daughter, the eldest princess, but the royal family is sad. Even if the five princes of the emperor have nothing to do with the queen, the queen has to act like her own mother and serve the princes. Choose a good wife and spread the leaves.

The courtiers had already heard about this before, so they brought their daughters here. Now that the queen said this, they knew that the real drama had just begun.

The queen's eyes quickly turned around the scene, and then called Yan Xiao's name, "Master Yan, I heard that the Yan family has four granddaughters who have not yet left the court. I don't know who are the four daughters of the Yan family?"

Yan Xiao hurriedly stood up and took a few steps forward, cupping his hands towards the queen, "Go back to empress, the four granddaughters of the old minister are here today." After finishing speaking, he looked back at Yan Xiaoxiao and the others at the table , "You guys, I haven't seen the Empress soon."

Yan Caidie and the others had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and they all knelt down to salute. In front of everyone, Yan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to kneel down and saluted respectfully, but she was a little absent-minded.

This banquet is so boring, when can we leave!
"The one in black should be the youngest daughter of the Yan family, Miss Yan Six?" The ladies of the Yan family are all outstanding, but the queen's attention is attracted by the little Yan Xiaoxiao next to her. .

Yan Xiaoxiao's figure is very thin, and her skin has become very rosy and shiny recently. Although her facial features are also very delicate, there is nothing special about them except for those very energetic eyes.

What made the queen notice her was her very plain black dress.
