"Oh, I see, it's me who is abrupt and lacks consideration, you don't have to mind if it's shallow." Ye Anran smiled apologetically, she was blaming herself for not thinking comprehensively, she didn't expect Qingqian to be so arrogant.

"No, the slave knows that the princess is kind, and the princess is ...... It's the kindest woman I've ever seen, but kindness can't be used as your trump card to protect you, princess, you still have to be more careful, although you can't hurt people, but you can't have the heart to prevent people. Through these three months, Sima Qingqian thoroughly understood Ye Anran's personality, so he kindly comforted her.

Ye Anran nodded: "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

"Princess, you ...... Do you hate the prince to death? Sima Qingqian suddenly changed his words and asked.

"Why do you ask?" Ye Anran was stunned.

"Last time, the prince broke the princess in that way, I guess you must have a grudge against the prince, right?" Sima Qingqian asked in a low voice.

"That incident, it's all in the past, what's the point of not holding a grudge, since I married him and married into the Ruian Palace, then this is my fate and his, so I can't talk about holding a grudge or not holding a grudge." Ye Anran replied with a bitter smile.

"The prince can marry a generous woman like you, which is also a blessing from the previous life, in fact, the lord is really not a bad person, but he has a bad temper, and the mother will see the prince's sincerity in the future." Sima Qingqian comforted.

"Well, Qingqian, it's okay for me, really, don't worry, but you, if you really wait hard, just be his concubine, don't be so stubborn." Ye Anran actually cherishes a proud woman like Sima Qingqian.

"Well, if the princess is a mother, the slave and maid will consider it, it's not too early, the slave and maid will step back first, and don't disturb the princess and the princess to rest." Sima Qingqian turned around and left after speaking.

Seeing her leave, Xiao Rong walked in and asked, "Master Princess, how can you do this?" That Sima Qingqian didn't help you anything, why did you treat her so well?

”

"I just think that in this palace, Sima Qing is so shallow that she is a rare good woman, clean and indifferent, since the prince doesn't like me, then why don't I choose a better side concubine for him? It can be regarded as the fulfillment of them. Ye Anran picked up the teacup and said with a smile.

Before he could drink it, he was snatched down by Xiao Rong: "When is it, princess master, do you still have the heart to drink tea?" Are you really stupid or fake stupid, are you afraid that the prince will end up liking the Qingqian girl and snub you? ”

"Isn't he snubbing me now?" Ye Anran asked rhetorically with his eyes open.

"Uh......." For a while, Xiao Rong was speechless.

Ye Anran smiled: "Okay, Xiaorong, don't worry, besides, this is just my wishful thinking, didn't the shallow girl agree?" Besides, the prince won't listen to me, I haven't said anything about this matter, you see how angry you are. ”

"In short, princess master, slaves and maids do not allow any woman to bully you." Xiao Rong pouted, returned the teacup to Ye Anran's hand, and said firmly.

"No, even if they want to bully me, they have to care about my identity, right?" Ye Anran's words seemed to comfort Xiao Rong.

Seeing that the master said this, Xiao Rong didn't say anything......

Three days later, Xigong Jue still has no news, presumably this time he is determined to wait for the queen to come back after the birthday banquet.

This morning, Ye Anran got up early, changed into a navy blue dress, dressed ceremoniously and decently, and entered the palace with a pair of exquisite pearl earrings.

To be exact, he entered Jiuhua Palace, because the queen's birthday banquet would not start until the evening, but King Ruian was not at home, and it was impossible for Ye Anran to attend it so late alone, so he still entered the palace early during the day.

Jiuhua Palace

The queen mother was talking to a few noble ladies, and Ye Anran had never seen any of those women, presumably some concubines of low rank and the family members of some high-ranking officials.

"The courtier Ye Anran said hello to the queen." Ye Anran saluted in a low voice.

"Oh, isn't this Princess Ryan? Why did you come so early, didn't the birthday feast start in the evening? The queen was also quite surprised when she saw Ye Anran.

Ye Anran knelt on the ground and replied in a proper manner: "Back to the queen's mother, because my prince is not in the house, it is inconvenient for the courtiers to come to the dinner party alone at night, so they can only enter the palace in advance to give the birthday gift to the mother, and ask the queen to forgive the sins." ”

The queen's face changed slightly, and then immediately raised the corners of her mouth: "Ah, it doesn't matter, King Ruian is for the flood in the south, every day is a big deal, sharing worries for the emperor is a big deal, the birthday banquet of this palace is a small matter, the princess can come, this palace is already very happy, how to forgive the sin, quickly, the princess please get up." ”

"Thank you, Queen." Ye Anran got up in response, and then he saw clearly that there were a total of five noble ladies sitting in the lower seat of the queen's mother, and when she came in, these women were chattering about something.

"Ah, princess, you must not know them yet, the two here are Yao Meiren and Li Meiren, who were newly canonized by the emperor, and the few over there are the wives of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, the wives of the hussar generals and the wives of the Su scholars." The queen saw that Ye Anran didn't know these people, so she introduced them separately.

Ye Anran nodded slightly...... The women also nodded in return, but there was disdain in their eyes.

"It turns out that this is the famous Princess Ryan, didn't she say that she was one of the two beauties in Jiangnan before? But why does the concubine think that she is not as attractive as Ye Zhaoyi? It was Yao Meiren who spoke.

Ye Anran was not annoyed after hearing this, but smiled faintly: "Yao Meiren is right, Enron is not as beautiful as her sister, and the reason why she is called the two beauties in Jiangnan is completely stained with her sister's light." ”

Yao Meiren saw that Ye Anran was so self-deprecating, and she didn't say anything to continue to embarrass her......

But Li Meiren took over the words: "Hehe, it's better to be famous than to meet in everything now, sometimes the people spread more and more, but in fact, it's not the case, it's just like that, there's no fuss." ”

The queen didn't blame when she heard this, she just stared at Ye Anran to see if she had anything else to fight back.

Ye Anran also smiled confidently: "Li Meiren's words are wrong, although your words are reasonable, but you also have to divide something, for example, when the courtiers were in Yangzhou, they had already heard of the beauty and virtue of the queen's mother, and when they came to Bianjing, they saw the queen's mother's face, and the people's words were even more reasonable, the queen's mother is really as beautiful and graceful as rumored, so when you say this, aren't you questioning the queen's mother?" ”

Li Meiren's face immediately changed when she heard this, and she knelt in front of the queen and said tremblingly: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine doesn't mean that, don't misunderstand the queen, ...... the concubine?" ”

The queen said with a slightly unhappy face: "Don't say it, today is the birthday of this palace, and this palace doesn't want unpleasant things to happen, remember, don't comment on yourself, let alone comment on others easily." ”

"Yes, the concubine wrote it down." Li Meiren replied worriedly.
