Elsewhere, several women gathered together, some were cool, some were gorgeous, and some were pretty, with different looks.

A pretty woman said:

"Have you heard that the flowers on the invitation were actually painted by the young lady of the Nan family, and my father praised her for a long time at that time!

She is so weak that she needs someone to support her when she walks a few steps, but she is also very good at painting, which shows how talented she is.

"What's so strange about this? Jinling has always produced talented men and beautiful women. Although she is not in good health and cannot leave the house, it is not surprising that the Prime Minister and the old marquis can hire a good master to teach her in the house."

Soon, the topic of their conversation shifted from Nan Yan's paintings to her appearance.

"The Prime Minister and his wife are both good-looking. I wonder what Miss Nan looks like. I think she must be good-looking."

"I think so too. The eldest son of the Prime Minister's family is a famous handsome young general in the army. Although the second son is young, we can see how outstanding he will be when he grows up. Miss Nan will definitely be the same as them, and her appearance will not be bad."

Chen Xinya, the legitimate daughter of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, took Zhao Xuelian's arm and curled her lips in disdain, "No one can be better than Sister Xuelian. Sister Xuelian is the most beautiful person in our capital."

Several of them couldn't help but roll their eyes.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

If you don’t know, you might think Chen Xinya has already met Nan Yan!

"Sister Xinya, please stop teasing your sister."

The woman who was speaking was dressed in white with large lotus flowers embroidered on the hem of her skirt. She had two lotus hairpins in her hair. Her eyebrows and eyes were cold and noble, giving off a sense of being otherworldly.

Her voice was soft and gentle, and sounded extremely comfortable.

Chen Xinya smiled and said, "Sister, don't underestimate yourself. It's a well-known fact that you are beautiful, and it's not just me who says that."

Lou Xinyue next to him echoed, "Yes! Everyone knows that our talented Zhao is also the most beautiful woman in the capital, with both talent and beauty!"

"Sister Xuelian is a role model for us girls."

Zhao Xuelian said nothing more and gave a subtle smile.

Estimating that the time was almost up, she said softly, "The banquet is about to begin, let's take a seat!"

The banquet was about to begin and all the guests took their seats.

Nan Hui and Ruan Yurou stood in the main seats, with bright smiles on their faces, their faces flushed with rosy glow.

"I would like to thank you all for coming to this banquet." Nan Hui looked at the guests in front of him and said loudly:

"As everyone knows, my daughter has been in poor health since she was young, and has been recuperating in Nanjing. Now that she has recovered and returned to the capital, I wanted to use this banquet to let everyone get to know my daughter."

After saying that, Nan Yan came out from the front hall behind her and walked to Nan Hui.

In an instant, the sound of people gasping for air was heard one after another.

The girl next to Nan Hui was wearing a purple silk dress, and her already flawless fair skin glowed in the sunlight.

Yin Ling combed her long, smooth, black hair into a flying cloud bun, and she wore a lavender gem hairpin and a lavender tassel hairpin on her head.

It is a color that is difficult to wear, but she wears it in a noble and elegant way, so beautiful that she does not seem ordinary.

Everyone's eyes were wide open.

The faces of the few people who had just belittled Nan Yan's appearance were extremely ugly.

"Wow! There is someone as beautiful as Miss Nan in the world."

“This… this Miss Nan doesn’t look like someone who has been frail and sick for more than a decade.”

"How come her skin is so good! It glows in the sun."

"..."

Hearing the suppressed exclamations of praise from all around her, Zhao Xuelian clenched her hands and then slowly unclenched them.

He glanced at Nan Yan indifferently, then looked away.

Lou Yu looked at Lou Xinyue who was standing aside with a jealous look on her face, snorted coldly, leaned over and said proudly: "I told you that Sister Nanyan was very beautiful, but you didn't believe me. Now you are convinced, right?"

Lou Xinyue turned around and glared at Lou Yu, "Shut up."

"Just don't shut up, just don't shut up. I'm going to piss you off to death." Lou Yu said deliberately.

"You..." Lou Xinyue's face darkened, and she was about to raise her hand to hit Lou Yu. At this time, Mrs. Lou turned around and warned in a low voice: "You two siblings, behave yourself, or you will be punished when you go back."

Lou Xinyue put down her arms and glared at Lou Yu again.

Sure enough, this brat was born to make her angry.

If she had known this earlier, she would not have hesitated when her mother was pregnant and would have simply not given birth to the baby.

"A little bit."

Lou Yu stuck out his tongue at Lou Xinyue, making her face twisted with anger.

Lou Xinyue cursed inwardly, "You are such a traitor."

Lou Xinyue is actually pretty, but her looks give people a mean feeling, and she has a bad temper, so she is not likable at all.

Seeing those surprised and envious eyes, Nan Hui and Ruan Yurou felt extremely proud.

"This is my daughter, Nanyan."

Nan Yan nodded at Nan Hui and Ruan Yurou.

When he turned around, with a faint smile on his face, he took the teacup handed to him by Yinling and raised it up.

"Nan Yan is serving tea instead of wine here, toast to everyone."

She has a graceful demeanor and doesn't have the petty air of someone who has always been kept in seclusion.

Afterwards, maids and servants came in one after another carrying meals, pastries and fruits.

In the center, musicians were playing music on a stage, and the music was melodious and pleasant.

From time to time, the ladies looked at Nan Yan, who was in a graceful posture in front of them, and slowly began to have some ideas in their hearts.

Such a beautiful, polite and talented woman is hard to come by.

Many ladies were planning to find a matchmaker to propose marriage as soon as they returned home, so as to avoid losing such a good daughter-in-law.

Shang Bai, the prince of Dongping, looked at Nan Yan with regret.

It is impossible for the daughter of the prime minister and the niece of Marquis Yiyong to be someone's concubine.

It’s a pity that he married too early, otherwise how could he miss such a beautiful girl.

?e?

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

A memorial was spread out in front of Shang Yue.

However, the memorial had been in front of him for a long time.

Originally, he had only one thing that worried him, which was how to explain to Nan Yan that he had broken into her bedroom at night.

Now, there is one more worry: how to confess my identity to her.

"Wang Dequan."

Wang Dequan, who was waiting outside the door, immediately trotted in, "The servant is here."

He sighed in his heart. The emperor has not been normal for several days and he didn't know when he would return to normal.

"Is the Prime Minister's Mansion holding a banquet today?"

"Yes, I heard that the Prime Minister held it specifically for his daughter."

After thinking for a moment, Shang Yue looked up and said, "Someone, change your clothes."

"Wang Dequan, how do you like this dress of mine?"

Wang Dequan was confused.

What did the emperor just say? He must have heard it wrong!

Seeing Wang Dequan in a daze, Shang Yue's face flashed with displeasure, "Why are you in a daze? I want to ask you what you think of this dress?"

This time Wang Dequan heard it clearly. It turned out that he was not hallucinating. He was busy flattering the master. Bah, he told the truth.

"Your Majesty, this dress makes you look majestic and elegant, very good."
