Chapter 473 The Heroine's Hateful Concubine's Sister Who Impersonated Her to Receive Credi
When she heard that Azhi was looking for someone, Dou Anran's expression immediately changed from being picky to smiling.
She twisted her handkerchief and swung it gently, laughing, "Compared to Miss Li Da, Miss Li Er seems more to my liking. She behaves well and is a good girl. Let her come up and talk to me."
The maidservant at the side wanted to remind Dou Anran that she had bullied others before, and it was a bit too strange for her to let others come forward and talk to her now.
However, looking at Dou Anran's enthusiastic look, it seems that she has long forgotten the past, and now her mind is full of thinking about using Li Zhenzhu to check and balance Li Lian.
As much as Dou Anran hated Li Lian just now, she likes Azhi as much now.
When he saw Azhi coming forward to salute, Dou Anran took the initiative to step forward and help her up.
"Okay, no need to be so polite. Your sister will be marrying the prince soon, and we will be a family from now on."
"Thank you, Princess."
Dou Anran held Ah Zhi's hand and nodded repeatedly, "You are different from your sister. You seem to be more knowledgeable and polite. Your words make me feel comfortable. We are both the daughters of Lord Li, so why is there such a big difference between you two?"
Although they are sisters, they are not born from the same father and mother.
Dou Anran's words are really heartbreaking.
Li Lian's position was arranged neither too far nor too close, so she could just hear what Dou Anran said.
Dou Anran originally wanted her to hear clearly, and she didn't restrain her voice at all.
Li Lian knew that the other party was openly humiliating her, but she had no way to resist. She could only hold the wine glass with a pale face. Yun Liu standing next to her didn't dare to say a word.
She knew that if she said something wrong, Dou Anran would want to sell her out, and the Li family would not dare to refuse.
Ah Zhi smiled at Dou Anran and said, "My sister is more quiet, and I am more lively. Father and mother often think I am too naughty."
"How could that be? Women should be lively. If they are too reserved and timid, they will seem petty, and I don't like that."
Azhi mentioned in the previous sentence that Li Lian is quiet and reserved, and Dou Anran immediately mentioned that being too reserved is petty. Isn't this a slap in Li Lian's face?
Many noble ladies nearby began to whisper, which made Li Lian feel even more uneasy.
She felt as if she was nailed to a pillar of shame, with waves of mocking voices coming one after another.
Their mocking eyes fell on her. If it wasn't for her own face, Li Lian would have been so angry that she cried.
She could only force herself to hold back her tears. Azhi did not speak up for Li Lian, but found another topic to chat with Dou Anran.
After eating and drinking, these noble ladies wanted to find something to do. One by one, they began to present their gifts to Dou Anran, including valuable calligraphy and paintings, precious antiques, coral beads, and relics...
Looking at the gifts, each one more precious than the last, Li Lian could no longer sit still.
She had never expected that she would have to bring gifts to a banquet. She thought that the banquet was just a formality, but now she was really dumbfounded.
When Li Lian heard that Ah Zhi had also sent a birthday gift, she looked at her in disbelief and said, "You knew that you had to send a birthday gift to the princess, why didn't you remind me?"
Li Lian deliberately lowered her voice, fearing that others nearby would hear it.
Even when it comes to such shameful things, she still knows to keep her voice down.
Unexpectedly, Li Lian questioned him, which made Ah Zhi stunned while holding her handkerchief.
"What are you talking about, big sister? It's Princess Huaiyang's birthday, and we should have chosen gifts for the banquet. Don't you know that? Even if you didn't know, shouldn't you have asked in advance? Just ask mother and you'll know."
Li Lian had never thought of sending gifts, so naturally she had never asked Bai Weixue what she needed to prepare.
She believed that Azhi was playing tricks on her.
I didn't give a birthday gift, but Ah Zhi did. Doesn't this show that I don't know etiquette?
As the gifts from the noble ladies were counted one by one, Dou Anran looked at Li Lian with a smile.
"Miss Li will be my sister-in-law in the future. It's my birthday now, I wonder if you have prepared a gift? The prince loves me so much, a set of kingfisher feather headgear is really thoughtful, the birthday gift you prepared must be even more thoughtful."
Li Lian was put in a difficult position with just one sentence. It was obvious that the word "sister-in-law" was not sincere, and the purpose was just to put Li Lian in a difficult position.
Li Lian's face turned pale with nervousness and he was at a loss. The noble ladies nearby began to watch the fun and whispered to each other.
Li Lian had already guessed what these people would say. They would just say bad things about him and make fun of him for eating and drinking for free without preparing any gifts.
"Your servant..."
Li Lian stood up at a loss, not knowing what to say. She stammered for a long time but couldn't make any sense.
Dou Anran ignored her embarrassment. Even though she saw that Li Lian had not prepared any gift, she still stared at Li Lian with anticipation.
Azhi on the side didn't say anything. She would have liked to help speak up if Li Lian didn't say anything and blame her for not reminding her earlier.
Now she had no thoughts and just wanted to sit aside and watch the fun.
Just as Li Lian froze there, a voice attracted the attention of all the women.
Let the years pass by.
"Today is An Ran's birthday. Lian'er is really forgetful. A few days ago, you heard that An Ran liked peonies, so you asked me to help you find a rare peony. How could you forget it? And you even asked me to deliver it to you personally."
As soon as she saw Ren Liunian appear in front of her, Dou Anran immediately stood up and shouted with joy on her face.
"Brother Crown Prince, you actually came to see me today?"
She didn't hear anything Ren Liunian said just now, and her eyes were full of her brother, the Crown Prince.
Without giving Li Lian a chance to squeeze in and talk, Dou Anran ran to Ren Liunian with her skirt lifted up, hugged Ren Liunian's arm and started acting coquettishly.
There was some calculation in her eyes just now, but now they are full of obsession with Ren Liunian.
"I knew that the prince brother would not forget me."
"How could I forget you?"
Ren Liunian did not avoid the other party's approach, but took the initiative to smile, which made Dou Anran completely bewitched.
Why does Dou Anran like Ren Liunian so much?
It's because the other party never refuses and always accepts Dou Anran's kindness. It would be strange if Dou Anran didn't think too much about it.
Looking at the peony flowers that Ren Liunian asked his servants to carry in, they were indeed rare and top-quality flowers in the world.
But Dou Anran was not happy.
Because this peony was sent by Ren Liunian in the name of Li Lian.
Originally, Dou Anran wanted to make things difficult for Li Lian, but she didn't expect Ren Liunian to take the initiative to help out.
Dou Anran gritted her teeth and asked, "Is this peony really a gift from Miss Li?"
