Chapter Sixty: A Farce
Jiang Huaiyuan thought she was smart and confessed her accomplice Lan Ziyuan without knowing it, but she never thought that she would become a tool for others to use.
Lan Ziyuan has been in the Prince's Mansion for so many years, so naturally she is not someone to be trifled with. Seeing the situation, she pretended to be pitiful, like a pure and innocent little white rabbit, using her eloquence to dominate the Northern Autumn Festival.
Ye trusted her a little more and successfully deceived Bei Qiuye.
"Since the prince has to deal with official business, you might as well come to my room. I have prepared tea and are waiting for the prince." Lan Ziyuan's charming voice and beautiful face were simply hard to refuse.
Jiang Huaiyuan was so anxious that no matter how she explained, Bei Qiuye always refused to believe her. Looking at Lan Ziyuan's proud mouth, she was so angry that she stamped her feet and could only let her snatch away the man she loved most.
Bei Qiuye spent this night in Lan Ziyuan's boudoir. Although he was only dealing with official matters, Lan Ziyuan seized this opportunity and served him well, showing all kinds of attentiveness.
The heating in the boudoir was pleasant, the candles everywhere in the room brought a touch of warmth, and there was a beauty waiting beside him. Bei Qiuye was completely immersed in it, and he had already forgotten Ruan Wanwan, who was still practicing hard.
The candles in the room were not extinguished until very late, and Ruan Wanwan was still completely unaware of all this.
Ruan Wanwan stayed up all night. He had been practicing with concentration all night, and his deep eyes were filled with red blood. He remained in this state until the morning.
The sun shines in through the screen window, and it's another new day.
At this time, the concubines from each room would come to say hello. Ruan Wanwan changed into clean clothes, put on some makeup, then came to the lobby and sat at the main seat, waiting for the concubines from each room to come.
Say hello to her.
After a while, concubines from all sides came one after another. Although the lobby was large, it became crowded due to the arrival of these people, but the only stool in the lobby was empty.
Ruan Wanwan noticed this stool and instinctively asked the maid next to her: "Who else is not here?"
"My master, it's Concubine Lan." The maid saluted Ruan Wanwan and responded respectfully.
Half of the greeting time has passed, but Lan Ziyuan has not arrived yet. The entire concubine in the lobby is waiting for her.
Just as the concubines in each palace were impatient, Lan Ziyuan, the giant Buddha, finally arrived belatedly at this time. She came to the lobby in heavy makeup and costumes. As soon as she arrived, she seemed to be the focus of the entire lobby.
"I would like to send my regards to the Crown Princess." Lan Ziyuan saluted Ruan Wanwan in a careless manner.
Lan Ziyuan was used to being arrogant, and this time she was late on purpose. Ruan Wanwan felt annoyed and deliberately prevented her from getting up and kept her in a greeting posture.
"Concubine Lan, why are you late?" Ruan Wanwan looked at her condescendingly and asked calmly.
"The Crown Princess doesn't know something. Last night the Crown Prince came to my room, and I was waiting beside him. I was a little tired in serving him, so I got up a little late today. The Crown Princess is kind-hearted, so I won't care about you, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the other concubines in the lobby started talking. They all thought that something happened between Lan Ziyuan and the prince last night, and there was a look of envy in their eyes.
Ruan Wanwan was no exception. Hearing that Bei Qiuye spent last night in Lan Ziyuan's room, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. No wonder he didn't see Bei Qiuye last night.
The surprise in her eyes quickly dissipated. In order to maintain the image of a dignified and generous crown princess, she pretended not to care and said coldly: "Sit down and sit down."
As soon as Lan Ziyuan sat on the stool, a maid brought a cup of tea and handed it to her. She maintained an arrogant attitude at all times, holding the teacup in her hand, but her expression seemed disgusted.
She smelled the tea, put on a look of disgust, and deliberately sarcastically said to Ruan Wanwan: "Prince Princess, this tea must be inferior. The tea is so weak, far inferior to the tea in my room."
, you don’t even look down on my maid.”
She didn't taste the tea and put the tea cup directly on the tea table.
Several concubines around were startled by Lan Ziyuan's words, which clearly showed that she had no respect for Ruan Wanwan. She, a test concubine, dared to speak to the main concubine like this.
Ruan Wanwan's face darkened. She was the daughter of a general with a noble birth. No one had ever dared to speak to her like this. She suddenly felt angry and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lan Ziyuan.
"The prince drank the tea in my room yesterday and he liked it very much. If the princess wants it, I will give some to the princess someday. How about it?" Lan Ziyuan had a smile on her face, clearly provoking Ruan Wanwan.
.
What she did in the lobby aroused everyone's imagination, and everyone now thought that the person who was most favored was a concubine - Lan Ziyuan, not the main concubine.
Ruan Wanwan slowly exhaled, feeling angry but unable to express it. She suppressed all her anger in her heart and tried her best to squeeze out a faint smile: "No need."
Lan Ziyuan sneered and said: "Yes, the tea in my room is of the highest quality. Giving it to the Crown Princess is simply a waste of such good tea."
"Presumptuous!" Ruan Wanwan couldn't bear it anymore, her patience had reached its limit, and she yelled at Lan Ziyuan.
The concubines in the lobby knelt down to Ruan Wanwan one after another. They had never seen the Crown Princess become so angry: "Prince Princess, calm down.
In the lobby, only Lan Ziyuan was still sitting arrogantly on the stool, not afraid of Ruan Wanwan's anger.
Ruan Wanwan glared at her fiercely, then sat back on the throne, immediately regaining her kindness and kindness. The anger on the surface seemed to have disappeared, but in fact she felt like fire was about to burst out of her heart.
She looked at Lan Ziyuan, but waved her hand helplessly: "You all should leave, and drive Concubine Lan out! I don't want to see her."
She rarely loses her composure like this, but if Lan Ziyuan hadn't spoken so openly and didn't take her seriously, she would have gotten so angry.
After hearing this, several guards at the door came to the lobby and dragged Lan Ziyuan out of the door without saying a word.
Suddenly, there were only Ruan Wanwan and a few maids in the lobby. She felt a sense of purity and specifically ordered: "From today on, the daily greetings will be waived. Also, the prince and dogs are not allowed in."
The maid in the lobby knew that the 'dog' Ruan Wanwan was talking about was Concubine Lan, so she didn't say anything more and just obeyed.
Ruan Wanwan felt a headache after playing such a farce all morning. She returned to the training ground, wanting to leave everything behind and concentrate on training.
