The Fourth Lady

Chapter 136 Dragon Gate Banquet I

Su Qingyan was a bit surprised when she received this news. But not matter what, she still needed to

tell this matter to Murong Jingxuan. She looked at the pigeon before her and gently stroked its feathers.

Yi Consort wanting to deal with her should be something that'll happen sooner or later. But for Yi

Consort not letting Xuanyuan Yufan act during the Dragon Gate Banquet, probably has to do with Yi

Consort thinking that Xian Consort being demoted is closely related to her(Qingyan). But that's right,

she was indeed the mastermind behind Xian Consort's matter. After all, that woman once harmed This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Ning'er's mother.

Even if Qingyan has never met this Consort Min, since this person can get along with Qilian Yuran, she

should be someone that Qilian Yuran cherished. Since that's the case, just take it as a good thing for

eliminating her.

Qingyan stayed in the Princess's courtyard for a very long time. At this time, Su Qingxue finally felt that

this Su Qingyan before her didn't seem to be her fourth sister, but a malevolent spirit from hell. And this

malevolent spirit was invincible and unrivaled.

It was like just as she said, with just one word from her, everyone can all be sent to hell, without the

possibility of redemption.

"Xue'er, what are you thinking about?" Qingyan looked to Qingxue's appearance and smiled, "Could it

be you're pondering over my matters?"

When Su Qingxue heard this voice, she shifted her gaze towards Su Qingyan. Seeing the young girl

before her, she couldn't help shrinking back a bit, "Big sister, I'm not thinking about anything."

Qingyan crouched down to look at Su Qingxue, still with a smile on her face, "It doesn't matter. Xue'er

is my little sister, so I won't harm Xue'er." She said as she softly rubbed Qingxue's head.

Qingyan was considered someone with a bottom line. At the very least, she definitely won't harm the

closest people to her. Especially since she also once promised Deng Yan she would take good care of

these two siblings.

"Yan'er, it's not early anymore, we should be heading over there soon." Xuanyuan Yuning walked over

to Qingyan with a smile, "I'm quite looking forward to Yan'er's performance tonight."

Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yuning, but before she could open her mouth, Mu Zhimin's voice

sounded, "Just like during the Talent Conference, let those people lose their confidence, let them know

that our Yan'er isn't someone easy to bully."

Qingyan looked to them and curved her lip, "You're right, at least can't let those people underestimate

me."

"I let you all take me to find Yan'er, why did you bring me to Ning'er's place?"

Chunyuan's voice entered their ears. When Qingyan looked up, she saw that familiar face of

Chunyuan's. She faced Chunyuan and properly saluted, "Greetings imperial great aunt." And everyone

behind her also followed after Qingyan in paying respect.

"So Yan'er was at Ning'er's place!" Chunyuan said as she walked up next to Qingyan, looking at her

with a face full of smiles. "Quickly get up, quickly get up! Yan'er, it's been so long and you still haven't

come to visit this one."

Qingyan supported Chunyuan's arm and replied with a smile, "That's Yan'er fault, imperial great aunt."

After all, she had been busy with other things all this time. Some things were all personally planned by

her after all, especially those matters that were most important to her.

"Yan'er ah! I heard about General Su and the others encountering trouble on the way back to the

capital. It's really great that nothing happened to them." Chunyuan said as she even patted Qingyan's

head.

"Imperial great aunt is bias. Yan'er is a grandchild, aren't we also your grandchildren?" Mu Zhimin and

Xuanyuan Yuning looked to Chunyuan and spoke in grievance.

That said, Chunyuan pulled them all to her side, "You're all my precious granddaughters."

Chunyuan glanced to the other three people standing nearby, "Yan'er, they are?"

Qingyan walked over next to the three of them and brought them to Chunyuan's side. "These two

children were recently adopted into our General's manor. They were originally my third uncle, Su Yan's,

concubine born children. After their Yiniang died from illness, they were entrusted to me to take care

of." Qingyan said as she casted her gaze to her left side. She then pointed to Luo Yixin and smiled,

"This is my maternal grandfather's granddaughter from the main line, called Luo Yixin. She's my

maternal uncle's legitimate daughter."

"Good good good, you're all Yan'er's good sisters. Yan'er has always been clever, looks like you all are

clever children too." Chunyuan looked to the three of them grinning, "Yan'er, after today's Dragon Gate

Banquet, you must come to my Xie Xiu Lou* and keep me company for a while."

(*T/N: The name of Chunyuan Princess's residence.)

"Alright, when the time comes, I'll keep imperial great aunt company for a while." Qingyan looked to

Chunyuan and replied with smiling eyes, "When time comes, imperial great aunt better not be annoyed

with Yan'er."

Chunyuan looked to the other two also with a smile, "When the time comes, Ning'er and Min'er also

come. This way my Xie Xiu Lou will be a bit more lively."

"We're just waiting for imperial great aunt to say this." Mu Zhimin looked to Chunyuan and chuckled.

"Ning'er and I will definitely stay over for some time."

They all sat in the Princess's palace for some time, before each finally leaving to find their own family.

Chunyuan originally wanted to let Qingyan sit at her side, but she knew that at this time, it was still

better for Qingyan to sit by Su Yun's side.

After Qingyan and the others dispersed, she headed over to the place where the banquet was going to

be held with Luo Yixin, Xu Qingxue, and Su Qingcong. On the way there, she just happened to run into

the Second Prince, Xuanyuan Yufan, heading in her direction.

"This subject-daughter greets Second Prince." Qingyan looked to Xuanyuan Yufan full of smiles.

"Since you were personally bestowed the title of Junzhu from imperial father, then you and I can be

considered half relatives. Just directly call me second brother." Xuanyuan Yufan looked to Qingyan's

appearance, wanting to find some clues from her.

But unfortunately, because Qingyan maintained herself too well, he simply couldn't find any related

information from her body. It was as if all the information he received previously were all false.

Qingyan listened to Xuanyuan Yufan's words and couldn't help coldly snorting inside, but on the

surface she still maintained a smile, "Second brother."

Hearing Qingyan correct her words, Xuanyuan Yufan's mood somewhat improved greatly. Yet, he

couldn't help getting curious about what had happened previously. "Just now, I heard Junzhu was

injured from protecting seventh sister. I was wondering whether your body has improved or not."

Qingyan simply wasn't in the mood to speak with Xuanyuan Yufan, but unfortunately Xuanyuan Yufan

simply didn't intend to let her go. "Thank you for the troubles of worrying about me second brother.

Qingyan is already fine."

"That's good. I have really good injury medicine at my place. When the time comes, I'll find the

opportunity to send them to your manor for you." Xuanyuan Yufan looked to Qingyan and smiled. He

still thinks that Su Qingyan isn't as impressive as Yi Consort imagined. At the bottom of it, she's still just

a mere woman.

"Then, many thanks second brother." Qingyan looked to him, still maintaining her smile. But on the

inside, she already felt vexed. Just then, another voice came through.

"Little sister, so you were here, you've really made me look for you."
