Chapter 471 The Heroine's Hateful Concubine's Sister Who Impersonated Her to Receive Credi
Li Xuanyan wanted to say something else, but he didn't expect Azhi to come in with Jindou and Nanny Feng.
"The daughter pays respects to her mother."
Ah Zhi was wearing a peach pink jacket with red gold butterfly flowers, and a pleated skirt embroidered with lifelike snow-white kittens.
The bun had two small and delicate velvet flowers and her favorite pearl hairpin.
This kind of dress is really charming and makes people feel happy when looking at it.
Bai Weixue immediately put her son out of her mind, stepped forward to support Ah Zhi, and said gently, "Why are you here so early? You might as well get some more sleep."
"How can I sleep in as I want after paying my respects to my mother? If others knew, they would definitely laugh at me for not knowing the rules. Besides, I don't think paying my respects to my mother is a big deal."
Azhi stood up, took Bai Weixue's arm and started to act coquettishly, which made Bai Weixue smile lovingly and helplessly point her finger at her head.
"Okay, okay, okay. You are the most considerate person on earth. You are a good daughter to me."
At this time, Li Xuanyan stepped forward and bowed to Azhi.
"Second sister."
"Get up, Xuanyan came really early today, and even got ahead of me."
On weekdays, Li Xuanyan is always the last one to pay his respects.
Just because he was busy reading, he was always in a hurry.
He came early today, and Azhi knew why he came.
The incident of Li Lian had caused a lot of controversy. Li Xuanyan was worried that the Li family would be implicated, so he naturally went to Bai Weixue to seek advice.
Li Xuanyan touched Azhi's head and smiled.
"Second sister, you are joking. I just came a little early. I thought I always came late before, so I came early today so that I can talk more with mother."
"Xuan Yan has really grown up and is much more considerate than before."
Bai Weixue on the side glanced at him.
"Considerate? When has this brat ever been considerate? He just wanted to see me because he had something to ask."
"Okay, okay, you and your brother are here, come and have breakfast with me. I have specially prepared your favorite food for you."
Just as the three were about to walk towards the side hall, a figure appeared at the door.
Li Lian came with Yun Liu.
Ah Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly with interest. Bai Weixue couldn't help but frowned slightly. Only after she came to her senses did she control her expression.
"Lian'er?"
Hearing Bai Weixue's call, Li Lian hurriedly took small steps forward to salute.
"A daughter comes to pay respects to her mother."
Even though she was very surprised at Li Lian's appearance, Bai Weixue still let go of Azhi and hurried forward to help her up.
"Hurry up and get up, Lian'er, there's no need to be polite. Why did you decide to come here today?"
After all, Li Lian is the future Crown Princess. Even if Bai Weixue doesn't like her, she still has to give her some face and pretend to be a little bit in public.
Li Lian had never come to pay his respects to Bai Weixue over the years, and the two of them seemed to be getting along as if they were not interfering with each other.
Sometimes Li Qian would ask Li Lian to have dinner together, and Li Lian would come to the main courtyard to pay her respects to Bai Weixue.
On ordinary days, she would never pass by the main courtyard.
Bai Weixue was surprised that he came to pay his respects today.
But she figured it out quickly.
Li Lian's voice was a little low.
"It is natural for a daughter to pay respects to her mother. I was young and ignorant before, so please don't take it to heart."
I think the rumors from outside made her feel uneasy, that the Crown Princess was ignorant of etiquette and acted in a stingy manner.
Every word these people said was enough to make Li Lian feel wronged and inferior.
Bai Weixue still had a gentle look on her face.
"Lian'er, what are you talking about? I watched you grow up, so I naturally won't hold it against you. Now that you are willing to come and pay your respects to me, I am really happy."
At this time, Azhi and Li Xuanyan stepped forward and nodded to Li Lian.
"big sister."
"big sister."
Seeing Ah Zhi being so respectful to him, Li Lian felt a little complicated.
It turns out that power can really change a person's attitude.
Even the person who hates you the most has to be nice to you.
Bai Weixue originally wanted to have a good breakfast with her two children, but the appearance of Li Lian disrupted her plan.
She had to put on a smiling face when dealing with her, and Bai Weixue did not behave unusually during this breakfast.
But Li Lian felt a little unnatural.
It was clearly her own decision to come to the main courtyard, yet she was acting unnatural now.
After sending Li Lian away, Bai Weixue instructed the people around her, "Investigate carefully. Li Lian must have come to pay her respects to me today because someone gave her the idea behind her back. She is not so cunning as to think of changing her image."
The outside world's endless discussion about Li Lian is exactly what Bai Weixue wants to see.
In the past, Li Lian always thought that her stepmother had taken over her stepmother's position, so she would never come to the main courtyard to pay her respects.
When Liu married into the Li Mansion, she did not live in the main courtyard. It was because she had a quarrel with Li Qian, so she was arranged to live in another courtyard.
Logically speaking, the wife should live in the main courtyard, but Li Lian thought that her mother didn't even live in the main courtyard.
But Bai Weixue happened to live in the main courtyard as soon as she was promoted. She must be feeling uncomfortable.
After leaving the main courtyard, Azhi walked in front, completely leaving Li Lian behind.
Li Xuanyan just asked Bai Weixue for help, but he actually had no intention of saying anything in front of Li Lian.
Seeing the brother and sister walking in front and ignoring her, Li Lian couldn't help but frown slightly, and Yun Liu on the side began to fan the flames.
"The second young lady and the eldest young master are so rude. The eldest young lady is their elder sister, and they should have let you walk in front. Even if there is no order of seniority, the eldest young lady is now a foregone conclusion that she will be the Crown Princess, and they shouldn't have ignored you like this."
Although he knew that what Yun Liu said was wrong, Li Lian still couldn't help but listen to it.
She just lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly without doing anything.
Yun Liu, however, rolled her eyes. If it wasn't for the opportunity to enter the Prince's Mansion, she really didn't want to serve Li Lian.
He is simply a soft persimmon that can be bullied by everyone and can't stand up at all.
As soon as Azhi returned to the yard, she received an invitation. Princess Huaiyang was going to hold a banquet for her birthday and specially invited all the girls in the capital to attend.
This Princess Huaiyang is the goddaughter of the current emperor. She was raised by the empress in the past and she and Ren Liunian are childhood sweethearts.
Before they were seven years old, the two played together, but as they grew older, boys and girls sat at different tables at the age of seven, so Princess Huaiyang was sent out of the palace to grow up, but she often stayed in the palace for a while.
She likes Ren Liunian and has wanted to become Ren Liunian's princess since she was a child. Today's birthday banquet is more like a Hongmen Banquet, but it is a Hongmen Banquet targeted at Li Lian.
Ah Zhi said to Aunt Feng, "This banquet will definitely be exciting. I must go and see for myself what a dog-eat-dog situation is."
Princess Huaiyang relied on being the emperor's adopted daughter and the fact that both her parents died defending her country. She was arrogant and had a bad temper, and she often bullied the noble ladies around her.
