Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When Benjamin didn't smile, he looked extremely cold, especially his eyes full of contempt, which made Xiao Qizi, who already had an inferiority complex, feel a deep sense of discrimination.

Benjamin: No doubt, he is!

"You better keep your mouth shut!"

He was so domineering that he left Xiao Qizi speechless, and Xiao Qizi could only be angry but not say anything.

In fact, Xiao Qizi is just a paper tiger. He usually bullies the weak by relying on his status and flatters those who are stronger than him.

Benjamin had never bothered with him before because he was gentle, but now that it involved Yue Wanhan, Benjamin would never allow him to say a single word.

In order to protect Yue Wanhan's reputation, Benjamin always kept a certain distance from Yue Wanhan and was always accompanied by servants.

The only exception was the time when Yue Wanhan almost fell, but that was also understandable. At this moment, Yue Wanhan came to the gate of Cining Palace in a happy mood.

When Liu Jiashi saw Yue Wanhan's face was as rosy as a peach blossom, she became more certain of her guess. Although her daughter looked very happy, Liu Jiashi herself felt a little aggrieved for having spent the whole afternoon chatting away in boredom.

She has sacrificed so much for her daughter.

"Greetings to the Old Buddha." Yue Wanhan paid her respects to the Old Buddha with full courtesy and was very obedient.

"No need to be polite. Miss Yue has grown up so much. Look how well she has grown up." The old lady looked at the quiet Yue Wanhan below with loving eyes, her eyes full of love.

"Get up quickly, no need to be polite." The old Buddha said to Yue Wanhan with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Buddha." Yue Wanhan stood up and walked towards Liu Jia politely.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This child is very naughty." Liu Jia glared at Yue Wanhan with pretended dissatisfaction, but her face was filled with a doting smile.

"That's not the case. Wanhan is just like you." The old lady said with a smile, her eyes revealing her love for both mother and daughter.

At that time, Liu Jiashi was also well-known in Kyoto, and the rumors that she was going to enter the palace for the selection of concubines were also groundless. In fact, there was indeed such a plan at that time, but Liu Jiashi chose Yue Wenli before the selection and married him quickly.

Liu Jia secretly rejoiced in her heart: I won’t enter the palace...that place is not a good place.

Yue Wanhan inherited the beauty of her mother Liu Jiashi, and was born with a face as beautiful as a flower, which was amazing. She looked like a bright little beauty with her innocent and gorgeous appearance.

The old Buddha looked at Yue Wanhan in front of him, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. Yue Wanhan was beautiful and cheerful, which made people love her.

Her cheerful and lively personality is somewhat similar to Xiaoyanzi. She is like a bright little sun, warming the people around her.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt more and more complicated. She was very disappointed with Yongqi. The prince who originally had a bright future, but because of a woman, he was alienated from the emperor and now he was imprisoned, ruining his life. Faced with such a situation, the Empress Dowager was both distressed and angry.

However, when she saw Yongqi becoming increasingly depressed, the anger in the old Buddha's heart was gradually replaced by heartache. If Yue Wanhan could really become the fifth wife, there might be a chance to save Yongqi.

As long as Xiaoyanzi didn't become the second wife, the old lady would be satisfied. She was full of dissatisfaction and disgust towards Xiaoyanzi in her heart.

Xiaoyanzi not only disturbed the peace of the palace, but also ruined her most valued grandson. In the eyes of the old Buddha, Xiaoyanzi was undoubtedly an ominous person who brought endless troubles and disasters.

The more she thought about it, the more unlucky she felt. She cursed inwardly, "What a jinx!"

Seeing that the old lady's expression suddenly changed, Yue Wanhan and Liu Jia looked at each other. She should not have been rude just now.

Liu Jia gave Yue Wanhan a wink, and Yue Wanhan nodded in understanding, sitting quietly aside without saying anything.

Nanny Gui noticed the change in the old lady's expression at a glance, and knew that the old lady was thinking of the people and things that disgusted her.

Karl Lagerfeld is old and in poor health, and he cannot bear too much worry and anger.

Nanny Gui knew this very well and quickly changed the subject: "My Lord Buddha, I also think that Miss Yue is becoming more and more beautiful. I was also surprised when I saw Miss Yue!" As she spoke, Nanny Gui cast an admiring look at Yue Wanhan.

For a moment, the whole atmosphere seemed like a large feast of praise.

Seeing this, Yue Wanhan showed a shy expression at the right time and waved her hands repeatedly to decline, "Thank you for the compliment, Madam."

The old lady looked at Yue Wanhan, whose cheeks were blushing, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She smiled and said, "I think what Aunt Gui said is right."

She thought to herself, since the Fifth Prince Yongqi likes lively and lovely women like Xiaoyanzi, why don't she find him a similar woman? Besides, Miss Yue is not only of noble status, but also elegant and well-mannered. Wouldn't this be better? Thinking of this, the old Buddha couldn't help but like Yue Wanhan even more.

Liu Jia felt vaguely uneasy, fearing that something unexpected might happen, and was thinking about how to change the subject.

She noticed the canvas that Yue Wanhan was holding tightly in her hand.

"This is?"

Yue Wanhan subconsciously put it back in, but suddenly realized that doing so might not be against the rules, so she took it out again.

"This is a portrait painted for me by the painter from Ruyi Pavilion," she said softly.

"Benjamin?" Mr. Lafayette looked at the portrait, his eyes flashing with curiosity.

"Yes. Master Ben's painting skills are superb." Yue Wanhan praised generously, her face full of admiration for Benjamin. Liu Jia, who was standing by, silently took in everything, but did not interrupt.

The old lady was worldly-wise and saw through Yue Wanhan's affection for Benjamin at a glance. However, she was not sure whether this affection was a recognition of his painting skills or whether he had other thoughts.

However, for the old Buddha who was used to giving orders, Yue Wanhan's thoughts did not seem to be that important. After all, as long as Qianlong was willing to grant the marriage, everything could be solved.

However, the key point is that Qianlong did not show any sign of marrying Yue Wanhan to Yongqi. This made Lao Fo Ye quite distressed, and she could not help but fall into deep thought.

In fact, even Aunt Gui found it hard to understand the old Buddha's mentality of being so troublesome. Obviously, everyone is getting along peacefully now, why is he looking for trouble?

But she didn't dare to question the old man's decision and could only stand aside silently, waiting for instructions.

The Empress Dowager is always worried about Yongqi. She is getting old now and she doesn’t know how many years she can live. When she passes away, I’m afraid no one will care about Yongqi anymore.
