At breakfast the next day, Tang Shuyi saw Xiao Yuchen and Jia Ning, with lingering affection between the corners of his eyes and brows. He knew that this young couple was getting along well, so there was no need to worry.

After breakfast, Xiao Huai and Xiao Yuchen went to work, while Jia Ning stayed in Shi'an Garden to talk to Tang Shuyi.The New Year was about to come, and the two of them talked about what they needed to buy for the New Year, and which family they would give New Year gifts to.Then they talked about Prince Duan.

It was originally the intention of Jia Ning and her brother Li Jinghao that after Jia Ning's marriage, Li Jinghao and Prince Duan returned to their fiefdom. After all, it was not suitable for a prince with a fiefdom to stay in Shangjing for too long.It was a good idea at first, but before setting off, Prince Duan changed his mind. He was having so much fun in Beijing that he didn't want to go back.

Of course, he also knew that this was against the rules, so he ran to Li Jingyi and said that he was worried about Jianing and wanted to stay in Shangjing for a while longer.Of course Li Jingyi would not believe him. He knew that Prince Duan and his daughter Jia Ning were at odds with each other.

However, Prince Duan was an idle and dandy prince, and it didn't matter to him whether he was in the fief or not, so he agreed that he could continue to stay in Shangjing.Therefore, Prince Duan and Li Jinghao are still in Beijing.During the Chinese New Year, Duke Dingguo's mansion would naturally give him a New Year gift.

"He told me before that he wanted to remarry, but then he dropped the matter." Jianing said, "I guess someone is concerned about the position of Princess Duanqin. I'm just afraid that he will be plotted against."

As a daughter, she was also worried about her biological father.

"You don't have to worry," Tang Shuyi comforted, "Even if someone is plotting against you, as long as you don't agree and the emperor doesn't agree, you won't be able to get in."

Jianing nodded, now all major events in Duanqin Palace require her approval.There was no way, her father was a playboy and her brother was young, so there were some things she couldn't do without.

Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious here, but things are going crazy over at Lan Mansion.

Not long after Lan Feibai came on duty, the second Miss Lan came. First, she greeted Mrs. Lan, and then said: "I heard that the third sister is not feeling well. I am here just in time. Let's go and see her."

Mrs. Lan knew that Lan Shuyu was jealous of Lan Shuying's good marriage. If Lan Shuying appeared in front of Lan Shuyu now, it would definitely be a big irritation, so she refused: "You are also weak, so she won't get sick from you." If you're angry, I'll just tell her later."

Lan Shuying glanced at Mrs. Lan, and after getting her signal, she said with a worried look: "That's okay, but I brought some precious medicinal materials and asked someone to send them to the third sister. I hope it will be good for the third sister." It’s helpful for your condition.”

As she said this, she waved her hand, and a little maid came in. She handed several exquisite boxes to the little maid.The little maid took the things and left immediately. Mrs. Lan didn't know how to stop her even if she wanted to.

This is why she doesn't like her daughter-in-law. You know she is scheming, but you can't defeat her.

Mrs. Lan's face was not good-looking. Mrs. Lan and Lan Shuying talked to her for a while before saying goodbye and leaving. Everything was done, so there was no need to look at people's faces.

After leaving Mrs. Lan's yard, Lan Shuying whispered to Mrs. Lan: "Yesterday, Mrs. Rong cried and begged in front of the Dingguo Duke's mansion. Many people saw it. My sister-in-law heard that Lan Shuyu wanted to be Xiao Shizi's concubine. , I was so angry that I threw several teacups."

Mrs. Lan snorted, "If a man is good-looking, he is also a disaster."

Lan Shuying did not answer her words. She thought about how many noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry Prince Xiao, but some people were self-aware and some were stubborn.

She thought she had dreamed of marrying Prince Xiao, but she knew she didn't have that fate.She now only hopes that Prince Xiao will not take concubines like his father, so that his perfect image can be preserved forever.

........

After Mrs. Lan and her daughter left, Mrs. Lan sighed deeply, "Although I'm kind to Wanru and Shuyu, I have never treated her harshly, but she dealt with me with a hundred tricks."

After hearing this, the grandma standing next to her couldn't help but say something for Mrs. Lan: "Madam also has her difficulties."

Mrs. Lan snorted, "Whose man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?"

Mammy stopped talking. At this moment, the door curtain was opened, and Aunt Rong walked in holding Lan Shuyu in her arms.Before Mrs. Lan could speak, the two of them knelt down in front of her. Lan Shuyu cried and said, "Grandma, just promise me."

Mrs. Lan saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her face was pale, and her whole body was crumbling, and she felt distressed on her face.She stood up and walked to Lan Shuyu, bending down to help her up, but Lan Shuyu knelt on the ground and didn't move, looking up at her with tears in his eyes and saying:

"Grandma, I know that I am a concubine and not as good as a legitimate daughter, but this is not what I thought!"

These words made Mrs. Lan feel distressed again. At that time, she wanted Lan Feibai to marry Aunt Rong as his wife, but Lan Feibai's father, Mr. Lan, did not agree, so in the end he could only let her be his concubine.

Therefore, although Aunt Rong has been a concubine these years, her treatment is similar to that of the main wife.She even loved Lan Shuyu far more than Lan Shuying.

Even she felt that Lan Shuyu should be the legitimate daughter.She once wanted to record Lan Shuyu in Mrs. Lan's name, but Mrs. Lan used tricks to make Lan Shuyu disagree, life and death, so the matter ended.

"Aunt," Aunt Rong also cried, "just agree to the book. As long as you and cousin speak, Mrs. Dingguo will not refuse."

As for Princess Jianing, as the mother-in-law, Mrs. Dingguo offered her son a concubine. She had no reason to refuse her daughter-in-law, who had not gotten pregnant for a year after getting married.

"You get up first."

Mrs. Lan asked the maid to pull the two of them up, then looked at Aunt Rong and said: "You don't know if you don't go out to socialize. Mrs. Dingguo is not as easy to talk to as rumored. Don't forget, she is not only Mrs. Dingguo but also Imperial Master. Her behavior is different from that of ordinary house ladies."

"But things are already like this. There must have been rumors outside that Shuyu can only marry Prince Xiao!" Aunt Rong said.

"But it's not that easy to be a concubine," Mrs. Lan said, "It's only because Fei Bai and I have taken care of you that you have been able to live such a stable life these years."

Aunt Rong wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "But Shuyu is not a young lady from an ordinary family. Her father is a second-grade official, and she still has your love. For the sake of his cousin, Prince Xiao will also Take extra care.

As for Princess Jianing, although she is a royal princess, Prince Duan has no power and is still a playboy. He is worse than his cousin.Prince Xiao and Duke Ding will definitely know who is useful to them. "
