Chapter 148 There's Someone Who Wants to See You
Su Yan'er's eyes widened in disbelief. Consort Yan had not invited her to the flower-viewing banquet, and she had only come to inquire this time on a whim.
But to my surprise, Qin Wan actually agreed.
Although Su Yan'er was very excited, she couldn't help feeling uneasy seeing Qin Wan agree so readily.
Then she asked, "What's wrong with Fourth Sister today...?"
Qin Wan knew her suspicions, so she stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Everyone in the manor knows about Sister Yan'er and Second Brother, so how could I not know? Although Second Brother and I have some conflicts, we are still siblings. After you marry Second Brother, you will be my sister-in-law. Since we are all family, how could I refuse?"
Qin Wan's explanation put Su Yan'er's mind at ease.
But it also made her a little anxious. She no longer planned to marry Qin Lang, but the rumors in the Marquis's mansion continued, and she was unsure if these rumors had spread.
Now that she's pregnant, she needs to act quickly; today's flower viewing banquet is her chance.
She knew that she was the adopted daughter of the Marquis's family, and it would be difficult for her to get close to the Fourth Prince. However, now that the Fourth Prince was in the central palace, she would have the opportunity to get to know him as long as she entered the palace.
Qin Wan had caught the Fourth Prince's eye, and she believed herself to be no less capable than Qin Wan, and that she too could captivate the Fourth Prince.
Su Yan'er was so excited she could hardly contain herself, and a smile was already spreading across her face.
"Thank you, Fourth Sister. Today, Yan'er also wanted to broaden her horizons. Since Fourth Sister is willing to take Yan'er along, Yan'er will go back and change her clothes now. Fourth Sister, please wait for Yan'er for a moment!"
After speaking, Su Yan'er bowed to Qin Wan.
She then lifted her skirt and jogged away.
She ran a couple of steps, then seemed to remember something and switched to walking briskly, but her joy was evident even from behind.
Watching Su Yan'er leave, Qin Wan's smiling face instantly darkened.
Evening frost doesn't work. Doesn't Miss dislike Su Yan'er?
Why are you bringing her to the palace today?
"Miss, she must have ulterior motives. Why did you agree to her request?"
"Of course I want her wish to come true!"
Qin Wan sat down in front of the mirror again and noticed that her eyebrows seemed a bit crooked. She said, "Wan Shuang, the tail of your left eyebrow is a little crooked. Redo it!"
"Yes!"
Evening Frost didn't understand what Miss meant just now, but as long as Miss understood, that was good.
Han Shu also learned that Qin Wan was going to take Su Yan'er to the banquet.
She was also puzzled. Didn't Wan'er used to dislike Yan'er? What was wrong with her today?
Han Shu was a little worried, so she went out the door with Su Yan'er.
Qin Wan had been waiting for a while, and there was only one carriage to take her to the palace.
This made Han Shu even more puzzled.
He walked up and knocked on the car window.
"Wan'er!"
Han Shu was somewhat skeptical that Qin Wan was being so kind; she wanted to test what tricks Qin Wan was up to.
In the past, no matter where she went, she would never ride in the same carriage as them, and she would not even walk with them. Today's change made Han Shu a little uneasy.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan lifted the curtain and the first person she saw was Han Shu. She asked, "Is Mother also going to the flower viewing banquet?"
Han Shu shook her head, "No, Mother is not going. Mother only heard that Yan'er is going along, so I came to give you a few words of advice!"
Qin Wan smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Sister Yan'er, please come with me. This flower viewing banquet was invited by Consort Yan, and all the young ladies invited are from the capital. If Mother is worried, then Sister Yan'er..."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan'er panicked. This was an opportunity she had worked so hard to obtain, a chance to meet the Fourth Prince, and she couldn't give it up like this.
She hurriedly replied, "Auntie, I've been in the Marquis's mansion for a year now, and I rarely attend banquets. I'm also not familiar with the young ladies in the capital. I'm very grateful and cherish the fact that Fourth Sister is taking me along. Auntie, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble!"
Han Shu knew that Su Yan'er was a well-behaved and obedient child, but she was still a little worried about Qin Wan.
But Su Yan'er's pleading eyes made her unable to stop her. She sighed softly and said, "Alright, just be careful on this trip. This flower-viewing banquet is essentially about composing poems. If you're not good at it, don't force yourself. There are plenty of women in the capital who are not as good as you..."
Han Shu gave Su Yan'er many instructions, fearing that something might go wrong at the flower viewing banquet.
Qin Wan, who was in the carriage, had been listening for a long time, but she knew that these words were all Han Shu's instructions to Su Yan'er, and not a single word was spoken to her.
"It's already past 9 AM, it'll be too late if we don't set off soon!" Qin Wan interrupted coldly.
Su Yan'er was also anxious to enter the palace, so she pulled her hand away from Han Shu's.
"Auntie, I've remembered everything you said. I'll be fine, please don't worry!"
Watching the two part ways, Qin Wan sneered inwardly, feeling like an outsider.
No one would think that she and Han Shu were actually mother and daughter.
The Imperial Palace.
Qin Wan didn't arrive early; when she and Su Yan'er arrived at the Imperial Garden, many young ladies had already arrived.
The two walked side by side and, guided by a palace maid, sat down under a pavilion.
Su Yan'er dressed up specially today, wearing a purple wide-sleeved dress that accentuated her slender waist.
However, compared to Qin Wan, she was much shorter, and her slender figure was not as tall and slender as Qin Wan's.
Many people cast comparative glances at her, but Su Yan'er believed that no one could match her. As everyone looked her over, she also revealed a confident expression.
Qin Wan only needs to bring Su Yan'er into the palace; the rest of the opportunities are up to Su Yan'er to seize.
Su Yan'er had already found out that Xiao Jingyu lived in Shao'an Palace, which was not far from the Imperial Garden. As long as she squatted nearby, she might bump into the Fourth Prince.
But right now, she needs to find an excuse to leave.
"Fourth sister..."
"Miss Qin, the Sixth Princess requests your presence!"
Su Yan'er had just uttered the words when she was interrupted by a palace maid who came to her aid.
Qin Wan didn't hear Su Yan'er calling her, and only looked at the palace maid and asked, "Where is the princess now?"
"Please come with me, Miss Qin!"
The palace maid stepped aside to make way for Qin Wan.
Su Yan'er was secretly delighted; the palace maid had arrived just in time.
"Sister Yan'er, please wait here. I'll be right back!"
Su Yan'er naturally couldn't show too much joy. She frowned slightly and said, "Yes, Yan'er will wait here for Fourth Sister to return!"
That's what they said, but once Qin Wan was out of sight, Su Yan'er began to act.
Yonghe Palace.
After Qin Wan followed the palace maid into the hall, she found that not only Xiao Lingyun was seated there, but also Consort Yan.
Qin Wan knelt down to pay her respects.
"Greetings, Your Highness, and the Sixth Princess!"
Consort Yan was kind and gentle, and her voice was soft and pleasant.
"Please get up quickly, Miss Qin, there's no need for such a grand gesture."
Xiao Lingyun stepped forward and personally helped Qin Wan up, her voice tinged with apology.
"Sister-in-law, the reason I asked you to come here is because there is someone who wants to see you!"
As soon as Xiao Lingyun finished speaking, a woman dressed simply, holding Buddhist prayer beads, and with her hair tied up appeared behind the screen.
