No answer, and no way to find an answer.
And she couldn’t ask.
She always felt that the maids and women in this room, though very good to her and respectful, lacked sincerity.
There were many things she couldn’t say, nor did she know whom to tell?
Someone from the palace came with the Empress’s command, asking the Nalan family matron to bring the girls above ten years old from the residence to the palace to meet the Empress.
The Nalan family matron was very happy about this.
Because it had been a long time since the Empress had summoned anyone from Fuwei Marquis Residence to the palace.
Even if they entered the palace during the festivals, they could only sit far away, and the Empress would not specifically speak to the women of Fuwei Marquis Residence, at most asking a couple of bland questions, nothing more.
Because of this, the Nalan family matron was beaming with joy and immediately opened her private treasury, selected a few accessories, and sent them to the courtyards of Nalan Huanhuan, Nalan Mingyi, Nalan Jinlian, Nalan Mingzhu, and Nalan Zile.
She also instructed that they must dress properly the next day, without the slightest negligence.
There were indeed people who were happy about this.
Except for Nalan Jinlian, everyone was very happy.
If they caught the Empress’s eye, maybe they could marry the Crown Prince in the future. Even if they couldn’t marry the Crown Prince, the family they married into would certainly not be bad.
"Miss doesn’t seem happy?" Chunqiu asked quietly.
"What’s there to be happy about? So many people eyeing the Crown Prince, if the Crown Prince speaks to me a few more words, wouldn’t I become a target?"
She didn’t like it and didn’t want it.
For this, Chunqiu fell silent. Updates are released by n0velfire.net
Nalan Jinlian didn’t want to enter the palace, but she had no choice but to go.
Mrs. Xu also came personally, bringing a box of jewelry.
"Mother also wants me to enter the palace?" Nalan Jinlian asked in a deep voice.
"Why? Lianlian doesn’t want to enter the palace?"
Nalan Jinlian shook her head.
How could she want to enter the palace?
She guessed a bit about the significance of the Empress summoning them at this time.
But Nalan Huanhuan and Nalan Mingyi secretly admired the Crown Prince.
She didn’t want to get involved and be resented by them.
Even if she had no such inclination.
"But with the Empress’s command, you must go!" Mrs. Xu said, with an unavoidable pang of heartache.
Nalan Jinlian remained silent.
"You don’t want to marry the Crown Prince?" Mrs. Xu asked.
Nalan Jinlian smiled, "I haven’t even seen what the Crown Prince looks like, how could I want to marry him? Moreover, yesterday to send me away, Aunty specifically invited me over and gave me some fabrics. Not to mention, when Fifth Sister talks about the Crown Prince, her face blushes red. Mother, tell me, do I dare have any thoughts?"
Of course, she didn’t dare.
And naturally, she didn’t want to either.
Over a man, it’s not worth sisters turning against each other.
Moreover, she’d never even seen this man, who knows what he looks like or what his temperament is like?
Mrs. Xu hadn’t expected there to be so many twists and turns.
"Since Lianlian has no such thoughts, less talk and less action upon entering the palace tomorrow won’t be wrong!"
Mrs. Xu sat in Qinglian Garden for a while, then went to find the Nalan family matron to talk about Mrs. Xuan’s mother and daughter sending away Nalan Jinlian.
The Nalan family matron was taken aback for a moment, then calmly said, "I know about this matter, you can leave now!"
She didn’t show it on her face, but she was furious inside.
Honestly, she really hadn’t expected Mrs. Xuan to be such a person.
Nalan Huanhuan was usually lively and likable, yet her scheming was so deep, fearing to be upstaged by her younger sister, she sent her away.
"Come, go invite the Crown Princess over!"
