  Yang Lan went to Song He Tang with her mother in a sedan chair today. As spring deepened, the scenery in both mansions became more beautiful. Entering Yang Mansion from the west corner gate, the sedan bearers carried them through the second gate, and along the way, many servants and servant girls stopped their work to pay respects and ask for blessings.

  The sedan chair was walking on the long corridor, passing through the garden. Although the weather in the capital city was still a bit chilly, the warm house had already cultivated good flowers, and some of them were already blooming. The various flower pots placed in the garden looked very beautiful with their purple and red colors, bringing a bright touch to the spring day.

  There are several camellia trees in the garden, with white flowers that are delicate and weak, looking beautiful! There are also narcissus, winter jasmine, peach blossoms, mountain tea flowers, white jade lilies and purple jade lilies, gentlemen's orchids, cloves, butterfly orchids and many other flowers. It is necessary to put two pots in each of the masters' rooms to match the scene.

  In the courtyard of Songhe Hall, several plum blossom trees were planted. They are still in bloom now. In those days, Old Master Hou was fond of elegant pursuits and had them specially planted. They were all very valuable wild plums, among which one was a ink plum, blooming with great elegance!

  Upon arrival, the young ladies opened the large red silk curtains with auspicious magpies perched on branches. Yang Lan and her mother entered hand in hand, and today her mother was also dressed very grandly. Her mother wore a crimson velvet jacket with peonies embroidered all over it, a dark blue brocade skirt with intricate patterns, a pale green long dress with subtle sheen, and a jade hairpin adorned with golden drops of crystal beads that swayed as she moved. On her wrists were a pair of white jade bracelets without any flaws.

  This whole body reveals the beauty of a mother's elegance and dignity, with every move exuding a sense of flowing rhythm and elegance that makes it impossible to look away.

  "Pay respects to Princess Chang and pay respects to Princess Jing'an!" The servant girls knelt down in a line to pay their respects, their voices echoing throughout the Songhe Hall.

  The maids who had already received the news quickly set up a screen for the two of them and loudly announced: "The princess and the county lady have arrived!"

  Today, the old lady wore a rust-red jacket and a blue-purple skirt, sitting on the couch with a smile, looking at the two of them, and asked: "Are you dressed so formally today to enter the palace?"

  "Pay respects to the old lady!" Yang Lan took a step forward and bowed down to pay her respects.

  "Pay respects to the old lady!" Hui Chang Gongzhu also gave a half bow to the old lady, which was considered as fulfilling her filial piety. She would never let anyone gossip about such trivial matters.

  "Alright! Get up quickly." The old lady nodded with a happy smile.

  "In response to Old Lady's words, today I and Mother are going into the palace to see Empress Dowager!" Yang Lan replied calmly to Old Lady's words.

  "All right! You can choose the attendants around you, select those who are cautious and sensible. The palace has many rules, when you go there don't wander around or look around randomly, just stay in the Empress Dowager's chambers and accompany her!" The old lady couldn't help but add a couple more reminders.

  Yang Lan thought this was good intentions and smiled nodding, "En! I'll listen to the old lady, won't make any mistakes with etiquette!"

  At this time, the second sister and the third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister also came in together. The second sister smiled and said: "Today is the sixth sister who comes earliest again! It seems that we are lazy! Hehe!" She teased casually.

  Yang Lan also smiled and responded: "I'm a bit far away, I just thought about coming over early so as not to be late! I've just arrived too."

  "My little sister is indeed here quite early, this filial piety is truly hard to come by!" The third sister, Ming Yu, put on a posture of an elder sister teaching her younger sister.

  The princess sat on one side sipping tea, motionless and expressionless, pretending she hadn't heard.

  Yang Lan didn't get angry, but just smiled and said: "Yes! I grew up in the south since childhood, and before that, I had never served my grandmother. Now that I'm back, I should be more filial to her, shouldn't I? Third sister, don't you think so?" She tilted her head and looked at San Gu Niang with a serious face.

  Three girls were choked by Yang Lan's bland tone, but the eldest princess was still there! She didn't dare to be too excessive, bullying someone in front of their mother, and she would not get a good ending for herself. So she sneered and laughed: "Hey! Today, Sixth Sister is dressed up so brightly!" Her eyes suddenly turned, shining with a frightening light.

  "Yes! Your sister is going into the palace to see the empress dowager!" The old lady chimed in with a smile.

  The third girl moved forward to the old lady, smiling and opening her mouth, "Grandmother, I have never entered the palace before, I am also a daughter of the Yang family, why not take me into the palace to pay respects to the empress dowager too!"

  If she could follow along and enter the palace to meet the empress dowager, her future reputation would definitely be different, and she wouldn't have to worry about not having a future!

  The three girls thought it was a good idea, but it put the old lady in a difficult position. She stood there for a moment, confused. She didn't understand how this girl suddenly came up with this idea. Who can just enter the palace like that? For a while, she didn't know how to refuse her.

  It was Hui Chang Gong Zhu who burst out laughing, "My daughter was personally conferred the title of Jing An Jun Zhu by the Empress Dowager, a third-rank noblewoman, and only then could she enter the palace. I wonder what rank you are, Third Miss?" After finishing speaking, she looked at San Gu Niang with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression, her eyes appearing to hold disdain and mockery, making one feel rather embarrassed.

  The three girls instantly flushed red with embarrassment, their faces burning with shame, and for a moment they were speechless, not knowing where to put their hands or feet.

  The second and fourth daughters-in-law were even more so, with their heads bowed and their shoulders constantly heaving, finding it very hard to hold back!

  The fifth girl whispered in a small voice: "Don't be self-righteous, the palace is not a market where anyone can enter!"

  Although the voice was small, it was so quiet in the house that even a falling needle could be heard. Now her voice was particularly conspicuous. The fourth daughter raised her head and glared at her sister, lowering her voice to scold: "If you don't speak, no one will take you for a mute!"

  Yang Lan's eyebrows slightly moved as she smiled softly and said, "Oral virtue is also something that women must learn! Fifth sister, don't forget that we both have the surname Yang!" She had already seen Fifth Sister stir up trouble at the right moment many times before, so it was necessary to remind her. If they did this in front of guests who came to their home, how would outsiders evaluate the daughters of the Yang family? Would they say they were poorly educated? Wouldn't that also affect me?!

  The fifth girl suddenly lifted her head, but saw Yang Lan's face set in a small board, with coldness and understanding in her eyes. Suddenly, the anger she had raised fell silently to the ground again, and she lowered her head once more, a single tear falling onto her hand.

  "Alright! From now on, you must study etiquette with your aunt seriously. Don't let others say that the daughters of the Yang family are ill-mannered, or you'll be the ones crying later!" The old lady also saw some problems and felt a bit downhearted - how could there be such a big gap?!

  Several girls all lowered their heads, with a look of shame on their faces. In the past, they didn't feel anything was wrong, but now that there's this sixth sister Yang Lan, it seems like they're inferior to her in every way, and they can't help but feel some resentment and anger in their hearts.

  Why is it that as daughters of the Yang family, Yang Lan is always different from them? Firstly, her name can be paired with her brothers' to form a single character; secondly, she has a powerful and capable mother who dotes on her, and a father and brother who are favored by the emperor for their bravery and strength; thirdly, even in terms of etiquette, Yang Lan is superior to them. This cannot be denied - Yang Lan's etiquette is indeed very good, and she looks naturally elegant, not stiff at all, clearly showing that she has put in effort to learn. All these things make her stand out from the others like a swan among geese!

  It's just like Second Sister, carefree and reckless, but which of the girls present isn't holding back their anger? What's the reason for this?!

  "Alright, I won't keep you any longer either. You girls hurry into the palace now!" The old lady took one glance and saw several girls, her face showing discontent and helplessness, could only speak out under duress.

  Last night I went to see the movie Non-Stop, damn it almost scared me to death, and I thought it was a fantasy drama!
