Along with the arrival of spring comes the news that the royal family is about to hold a masquerade ball at Brant Palace.
As soon as this news leaked out, it caused quite a stir among the nobles of the imperial city.
Since the news that His Majesty was seriously ill last autumn, Brant Palace has not been lively for a long time, and the entire imperial city has been lifeless.
Fortunately, spring is coming soon, everything is recovering, and everything seems to be back to its brand new time.
When the invitation from the royal family was officially issued, all the noble families began to prepare attires for their young masters and ladies in a hurry.
The best tailor shop in the Imperial City was closed down, and Janis finally managed to get a spot for her daughter Lily.
When she triumphantly lifted up her skirt and prepared to leave, the conversation of several ladies in the corner caught her attention——
"Hey, you heard that the reason why His Majesty suddenly held this ball is for His Highness Celia."
"Is it because you want to find the Crown Princess for His Highness Celia? Didn't this news come out last year?"
"That's not true. It was His Highness Celia who personally asked His Majesty to organize this ball. He said that he met a girl after Christmas last year. He couldn't forget her and wanted to find someone through it."
"Really? Your Highness Celia would actually be so worried about a woman?"
Janice overheard the news, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
But at the same time, I'm also a little lucky. If Her Highness Celia's heart belongs to someone else, then Ais will never be able to do it.
After all, Mei Lin was extremely strict with her and would never allow her to go out and meet any man.
But that night, when Sema came to her room from Bai Nu to report work to her, she also mentioned this matter to her.
Janis was shocked and grabbed her hand:
"How do you know this kind of thing?"
She even heard about it from other ladies. How could a mere maid in Sema know about such a thing, following that Miriel all day long?
Sema pondered for a moment and then spoke with some embarrassment.
"I also followed Miriel and eavesdropped on the conversation between her and Miss Ace, because Miss Miriel did go out with Miss Ace after Christmas, and more importantly."
Sema approached Janis in a pretentious manner: "I also found out that Her Highness Celia was looking for a blond lady in a blue skirt this time. She said she was impressed by her beauty."
Janice's heart completely sank to the bottom.
When Sema said this, she really remembered it.
After Christmas, her brother Resker did take the sisters out.
However, his original intention was to take only Myriel with him, but later Merlin forced Ais to go with her.
She clearly remembered that Aisi was wearing a royal blue dress that day and looked very pretty.
The blonde hair made her very jealous.
Now that I think about it, Ais's move is indeed strange. If she really wanted to go out with her father, there would be no need to go through such trouble.
It’s obviously to meet someone specifically!
Maybe she and Mei Lin found out about His Highness Celia’s whereabouts in advance and went to meet her on purpose!
As soon as this speculation appeared in Janice's mind, it kept her awake all night.
She simply got up early the next day and went straight to Bai Wu with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.
Bai Wu had already expected it.
After all, she deliberately let Sema fabricate the truth in front of Janis just to wait for this moment.
So she pretended to be attentive and invited Janice to the living room, and thoughtfully made her a cup of tea.
Janis couldn't wait any longer. She didn't even drink the tea, so she directly took Bai Wu's hand and asked her to sit next to her.
"My dear, tell me the truth, what did your sister do when your father took them out that day?"
Bai Wu lowered her head and thought for a while, then said slowly: "I don't know, my sister left when we were in the jewelry store. I don't know what she did after that. Maybe she went home."
Absolutely impossible!
Janice cursed.
She remembered that day very clearly. Aisi came back very late, looking like she was worried, and ran into the room without even eating dinner.
Is it really her that Her Highness Celia likes?
Bai Wu on the side had a clear view of Janis's angry and uneasy expression at the moment.
After curling her lips slightly, she put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Janis with pretense of confusion.
"Aunt, why do you suddenly ask this? Is it because you also heard that His Highness Celia held a dance party just to find a young lady he fell in love with?"
Janis looked at her in surprise: "Even you know?"
Bai Wu nodded and opened her mouth again, as if she wanted to speak but refused to give up.
Janis saw the clues, squinted her eyes and held her hand tightly: "My dear, what else do you know?"
"Well" Bai Wu looked embarrassed, "I promised my sister not to tell anyone."
After hiding the anger in her eyes, Janis leaned closer to Bai Wu again and persuaded her in a gentler tone.
"Good boy, don't you trust your aunt? You know that your aunt is so good to you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this kind of thing."
Bai Wu pondered for a while, then nodded cautiously.
"Okay aunt, let me tell you."
"That's it." She deliberately lowered her voice and looked very careful, "When my sister came back that day, she pulled me into the room. She said that she met a man near the antique shop and she was very attracted to him, but
You also know that my mother has always been strict and will definitely not allow my sister to continue to associate with that person."
As she spoke, Bai Wu sighed, as if she was truly feeling sorry for Aisi's love.
"So if Your Highness Celia can really hold this ball, maybe my sister can meet that person at the ball and continue the relationship with him."
After hearing this, Janis was completely convinced that the woman Celia met was Ais!
A fire of resentment quickly gathered in her eyes, which grew stronger and stronger.
So she snorted coldly and said: "Miriel, silly child, you are still kept in the dark by your sister. She went out not to accompany you, but to meet His Highness Celia, because His Highness Celia was looking for
She is the one!"
Bai Wu quickly pretended to be surprised: "How could it be? Sister, she."
"Hey, my little fool." Janice flicked her head with her knuckles, "You didn't know that your sister had betrayed you."
Janis didn't say anything else, she just let Bai Wu think about it carefully while she picked up her skirt and left in a hurry.
When I was going out, I happened to bump into someone.
She was about to reprimand, but when she looked up, she found that it was Froze, and her angry face instantly froze.
Just a few days ago, her brother Resker had been discouraging her not to go too far.
Is it because this kid found out that she had someone do it and went to report it to Reske?
But isn't he a fool? How could he react?
Janis, who was worried, didn't care too much about Froze. She glared at him and left on her high heels.
Froze lowered his eyes, and a small layer of shadow fell on his eyelashes that were lightly covered by his forehead hair.
Miriel is right.
This Janice is indeed too much.
Let him think about how to punish such an excessive person.
