Chapter 811: Chapter 721, Trickster (Two-in-One ga Chapter) Chapter 811: Chapter 721, Trickster (Two-in-One ga Chapter) In front of the Princess Residence’s main gate, carriages and horses ca and went in an endless stream. After the ladies from various families disembarked from their carriages, they would exchange pleasantries with those they knew, and even those they were not familiar with were obliged to exchange greetings. Because of this, the entrance beca sowhat congested.
During the midst of these cordial exchanges, Han Xinran helped Madam Li down from the carriage, and once the four Daohua sisters alighted from the carriage behind, she took the initiative to lead Madam Li and the others towards so familiar households.
She was aware that the Yan Family was not well-acquainted with the families in Beijing; this was her mont to demonstrate her value.
Fortunately, although the Earl Zhaode Residence had declined in recent years, with the title of the direct daughter of the Earl Residence, she had attended various banquets and had co to know quite a few ladies of Beijing. Several of those families were gathered at the entrance of the Princess Residence right now.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Han Xinran noticed that as they approached, the noisy crowd seed to fall silent for a mont. Preoccupied with introducing her in-laws, she did not give it much thought and smiled as she greeted the familiar ladies and young won.
In a place like Beijing, filled with honored nobility and intricate social affairs, the ladies would always conduct themselves with dignity and politeness in public, seldom offending others. They showed considerable respect to the newcor Yan Family.
Thus, one introduction after another took place, and before long, Madam Li had beco acquainted with the various Madams at the entrance.
Daohua and Yan Yihuan also exchanged pleasantries with the young ladies of the various families.
“Ladies, my Princess has been waiting for a long ti; please follow into the residence,” said one of the Princess Residence’s maidservants.
The group then followed the maid into the grand entrance.
After entering the back courtyard of the Princess Residence, Han Xinran was surprised to find that the crowd’s montary silence was not her imagination.
At that mont, the ladies and young won who had been joking around in the courtyard quieted down and looked in their direction.
Han Xinran wondered to herself. Their group did not include anyone of exceptionally high status; why had they attracted the attention of everyone present?
Suddenly, Han Xinran caught a glimpse of Daohua, who was lagging behind by a step, and her heart skipped a beat.
How could she have forgotten that her family included a lady of notable status and remarkable beauty who had beco a topic of conversation?
Before, her mind had been focused on how to impress at the banquet and she hadn’t paid much attention to her sisters’ attire. Now, upon closer inspection, she realized that her eldest sister looked especially fresh and refined today.
A sky-blue vest with embroidered green plum blossoms complented a light green brocade blouse, making her eldest sister’s already porcelain-like complexion appear even more demure and pleasing; a white embroidered belt with blue floral patterns outlined her slender waist, enhancing her statuesque figure.
Her pure white gauze skirt fluttered with each step, with blue auspicious ribbons sotis hidden and sotis visible as she moved, providing an ethereal and unworldly aura to her appearance.
Han Xinran suddenly rembered the dazzled look that flashed in her eyes when she first saw her eldest sister, who was in her everyday clothes at the ti. Now, for an outing as a guest, after careful preparation, she was truly more charming than the flowers.
Daohua noticed Han Xinran looking at her and blinked inquisitively, asking with her eyes if there was sothing wrong?
Caught off-guard by her gaze, Han Xinran quickly looked away, berating herself silently for failing to realize how enchanting her elder sister could be.
After Daohua and the others had walked through the courtyard, the people there resud their conversations.
“Who is the girl in blue? I haven’t seen her before.”
“It’s said that she’s the eldest daughter of the new Vice Minister of Revenue, Yan.”
“Ah? Is she the Countess of Shengping personally titled by the Emperor?”
“Yes, that’s her.”
“The Countess of Shengping is really quite beautiful.”
“Isn’t she? The mont she walked in, it was as though there was a sudden burst of brightness.”
Main hall.
Princess Huijia sat in the main seat of the drawing room, chatting and joking with so of the won of noble and honored status. As the maid led the new guests in, the Princess was preparing to greet them, but her gaze involuntarily fell on the blue silhouette.
It wasn’t just the Princess; the other ladies in the room also turned their eyes in that direction.
Princess Huijia greeted everyone warmly and invited them to take their seats. Then she turned her attention to Madam Li, who was leading Han Xinran and the four Daohua sisters forward.
After exchanging a few words with Madam Li, Princess Huijia turned with a smile towards Daohua, “Is this the Countess of Shengping?”
Daohua stepped forward and curtsied, “Countess Shengping greets the Princess.”
Princess Huijia gestured for Daohua to rise and then, smiling, gave her a thoughtful look, thinking to herself that the Countess of Shengping truly had a beautiful appearance. She had seen countless won, but there were few who could stand out so conspicuously among the dazzling array of costics. Yet the Countess of Shengping was certainly one of them.
