Chapter 60: A farce
Jiang Huaiyuan thought he was smart, and he confessed his accomplice Lan Ziyuan without knowing the sky, but he never thought that he had become a tool for others to use.
Lan Ziyuan has been in the Prince's Mansion for so many years, naturally she is not easy to mess with, she saw the situation, so she pretended to be pitiful, like a pure and flawless little white rabbit, using her eloquence of the lotus flower to take advantage of Bei Qiuye's trust in her, and successfully deceived Bei Qiuye.
"Since the prince has to deal with official business, he might as well come to the concubine's room, and the concubine has prepared tea and waits for the prince." Lan Ziyuan's delicate voice and beautiful face were simply hard to refuse.
Jiang Huaiyuan was anxious, no matter how she explained, Bei Qiuye refused to believe her, looking at the corners of Lan Ziyuan's smug mouth, she was so angry that she stomped her feet again and again, and could only let her snatch away the man she loved the most.
This night, Bei Qiuye spent time in Lan Ziyuan's boudoir, although he was only dealing with business, but Lan Ziyuan grasped this opportunity very much, and served him by his side, offering all kinds of courtesy.
The heating in the boudoir is pleasant, the candles everywhere in the room bring a touch of warmth, and there is a beautiful woman waiting for him, Bei Qiuye is completely addicted to it, and has long forgotten Ruan Wanwan, who is still practicing hard.
The candles in the room were not extinguished until very late, and Ruan Wanwan was completely unaware of all this.
Ruan Wanwan stayed awake all night, and had been concentrating on cultivation all night, and her deep eyes were mixed with red bloodshots, and this state lasted until morning.
The sun shines through the screen window, and it's a new day.
Whenever at this time, the concubines in each room are about to come to say goodbye, Ruan Wanwan changed into a clean dress, put a little powder, and came to the lobby, sat in the main seat of the hall, and waited for the concubines in each room to come and greet her.
After a while, all the concubines came one after another, and although the hall was large, it became crowded because of the arrival of these people, but the only stool in the hall was empty.
Ruan Wanwan noticed this stool, and instinctively asked the maidservant next to her: "Who else hasn't come?"
"If you go back to the little master, it's Concubine Lan." The maidservant saluted Ruan Wanwan and replied respectfully.
Half of the time to say goodbye had passed, but Lan Ziyuan had not arrived for a long time, and the concubines in the entire hall were waiting for her.
Just when the concubines of each palace were impatient, Lan Ziyuan, the big Buddha, finally came late at this time, she wore heavy makeup, and came to the lobby in full costume, as soon as she came, it seemed to be the focus of the entire lobby.
"The concubine asks for peace to the crown princess." Lan Ziyuan saluted Ruan Wanwan in a sloppy manner.
Lan Ziyuan was used to being arrogant, and this time she was deliberately late, Ruan Wanwan felt annoyed in her heart, and deliberately didn't let her get up, so that she maintained a posture of asking for peace.
"Concubine Lan, why are you late?" Ruan Wanwan looked at her from above and asked lightly.
"The crown princess doesn't know, the prince came to my room last night, and I waited beside me, and I was a little tired of serving, so I got up a little late today, and the princess is kind-hearted, so she must not be counted, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the other concubines in the lobby talked about it. They all thought that Lan Ziyuan had something to do with the prince last night, and their eyes showed a look of envy.
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, and in order to maintain a dignified and generous image of the crown princess, she pretended not to care, and said coldly: "Flatten, sit down."
As soon as Lan Ziyuan sat on the stool, a maidservant girl brought a cup of tea and handed it to her, she maintained an arrogant attitude all the time, holding a teacup in her hand, but her expression seemed disgusted.
She smelled the fragrance of tea, put on a very disgusted look, and deliberately sarcastically mocked Ruan Wanwan: "The crown princess's tea must be an inferior thing, the tea taste is so light, far less than the one in my room, this kind of tea, even my maid can't look down on it."
She didn't taste the tea, and put the teacup directly on the tea table.
Several concubines around were taken aback by Lan Ziyuan's words, which showed that she had no respect for Ruan Wanwan, and she dared to speak to Concubine Zheng like this as a concubine.
Ruan Wanwan's face sank, she was the daughter of a general, she was of noble birth, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like this, she suddenly felt angry, and was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Lan Ziyuan.
"Yesterday the prince drank the tea in my room, he likes it very much, if the princess wants, I will give some to the princess another day, how about it?" Lan Ziyuan had a smile on her face, clearly provoking Ruan Wanwan.
What she did in the lobby made everyone think about it, and everyone thought that the most favored person was a concubine-Lan Ziyuan, not a concubine.
Ruan Wanwan slowly exhaled a breath, but she couldn't express her anger, she forced all her anger in her heart, and tried to squeeze out a faint smile: "No need."
Lan Ziyuan sneered and said, "Also, the tea in my room is a first-class thing, and giving it to the crown princess is simply a waste of such good tea."
"Presumptuous!" Ruan Wanwan really couldn't bear it, her patience had reached the limit, and she yelled at Lan Ziyuan.
The concubines in the hall knelt down towards Ruan Wanwan, they had never seen the crown princess so angry: "The crown princess is angry.
In the lobby, only Lan Ziyuan was still sitting arrogantly on the stool, not afraid of Ruan Wanwan's anger at all.
Ruan Wanwan glared at her viciously, sat back on the throne, and immediately restored the princess's benevolence, the anger on the surface seemed to have disappeared, but in fact, she felt that her heart was about to erupt into flames.
Her eyes looked at Lan Ziyuan, but she waved her hand helplessly: "You all disperse, drive Concubine Lan out for me!" I don't want to see her. ”
She rarely loses her temper like this, but if it weren't for Lan Ziyuan's open-mouthed mouth and not taking her seriously at all, she would have been so angry.
A few guards at the door came to the lobby when they heard this, and without saying a word, they directly drove Lan Ziyuan out of the door.
Suddenly, there were only Ruan Wanwan and a few maidservants in the lobby, she felt a burst of purity, and specially ordered: "From today onwards, the daily greetings will be waived, and the prince and the dog are not allowed to enter."
The maidservant girl in the lobby knew that the 'dog' Ruan Wanwan was talking about was Concubine Lan, so she didn't say anything more, just obeyed her fate.
One morning, after such a farce, Ruan Wanwan felt a headache, and she returned to the cultivation ground, wanting to leave everything behind and concentrate on cultivation.
But the corners of Lan Ziyuan's arrogant mouth kept coming to her mind, and her voice echoed in her ears, and she couldn't cultivate quietly.
