The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

In the next few days, the autumn hunt was still held as scheduled.

Liao Qinglan used the excuse of feeling unwell and refused to go out again.

Princess Qinghe has never liked wielding swords and spears, and she stays in the palace with Liao Qinglan every day.

And whenever night falls, Gu Mingzhao appears outside Liao Qinglan's window like a ghost.

That night, Liao Qinglan was sitting by the window reading a book when she suddenly heard a slight noise near the window.

She put the book down and couldn't help asking, "Can't you just come in through the front door?"

Gu Mingzhao poked his head out with a look of grievance: "I'm not afraid that people will gossip about you. You know, every move I make now attracts attention."

Indeed, although Liao Qinglan never left her house, she had heard about how popular he was.

Ever since he won the first place in the archery competition that day, countless people wanted to make friends with him, and he had to attend social events every day.

She also heard that whenever Gu Mingzhao walked on the street, noble ladies from aristocratic families would blush and stuff handkerchiefs, sachets and the like into his arms.

Liao Qinglan said sourly: "You must have collected a lot of sachets today."

"I threw them all away. What if someone wants to poison me?" said Gu Mingzhao.

Liao Qinglan thought of how he had ruined her kindness before, and said viciously, "When I sent you medicine before, did you also think I wanted to poison you?"

He really thought so at the time...but he was not stupid, so how could he admit it?

"Miss Liao gave it to me. I'll eat it even if it's arsenic."

Liao Qinglan snorted and said, "You are sensible. My love for you is not in vain."

Gu Mingzhao smiled slightly, took Liao Qinglan's hand, and said, "Lan'er, why haven't you reached the age of marriage yet? I can't wait."

Liao Qinglan blushed and said softly, "Less than a month, it will be quick."

"On the day you reach the age of 15, I will propose marriage to you. Then I can see you legitimately."

Liao Qinglan lowered her head and said nothing, but she was looking forward to that day.

After the autumn hunt, the entire Liao family was preparing for Liao Qinglan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Cheng Yunxiang took care of all the household chores, and she also arranged the matters concerning the coming-of-age ceremony, so Liao Qinglan didn't need to worry about anything.

Her daily routine was the same as usual. Apart from going to the palace to take Queen Wang's pulse, she also discussed medical skills with Mo Wang.

Today, the Queen chatted with her and mentioned that Li Zheng was planning to arrange a marriage between the Second Prince and Liao Wan'er.

She wasn't surprised when she heard it.

After leaving the palace, he casually told Jinxiu about this matter.

After Jinxiu found out, she gloated: "Everyone in the capital knows that the Second Prince has a homosexual tendency. Which good family would be willing to marry their daughter to her? Only Miss Wan'er would not despise her."

There is no wall that is impenetrable, not to mention that Concubine An brought so many people with her that day in such a grand manner.

It's really like shooting yourself in the foot.

"My cousin and the Second Prince are truly in love. They are a couple that will eventually get married."

Others may not know, but she knows exactly what Li Jin is thinking.

On the one hand, he felt that Liao Wan'er was his white moonlight, but on the other hand, he disliked her for not having a prominent family background.

They are finally together for this life and can no longer harm other people.

"Miss, you are so generous. You can let bygones be bygones even though Miss Wan'er and Madam Du treated you and your wife like that!"

"After all, she is a member of the Liao family. Being able to marry the prince as his legal wife is a good way out for her as long as she behaves herself in the future."

Everyone can say polite words.

In fact, what she was thinking was that only by tying this scumbag and bitch together tightly could she get back all the humiliation she had suffered in her previous life.

Jinxiu not only felt a chill.

It's really strange. The young lady has clearly given up on the Second Prince, so why is there still such strong hostility?

When she returned home, she was shocked by the scene at home.

The originally quiet main hall was now bustling with people.

At first glance, there were only a few unfamiliar faces. She remembered a few of them, who should be distant relatives of the Liao family.

Her coming-of-age ceremony was approaching, and relatives who had not been in touch for a long time came to the capital city under the pretext of celebrating.

Liao Qinglan knew clearly that they all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits from the Liao family.

Her brows were furrowed, and she had no good feelings towards these distant relatives.

When my father was in his prime, he provided a lot of support to the Liao family in Cangzhou. Not only did he fund the construction of schools, he also donated large sums of money every year to help those in the clan who were in need.

In the previous life, the Liao family encountered a great change. In order to distance themselves from them, these so-called clan relatives immediately removed their lineage from the family tree.

Later, when my father was released from prison, he originally planned to return to Cangzhou, the ancestral home of the Liao family, to settle down, but he was driven away by the clan again.

Finally, it was with Cheng Yuan's arrangement that he followed his uncle's family and settled down in Shu.

These relatives don't visit each other often on weekdays, so Cheng Yunxiang originally arranged for them all to live in the prime minister's villa.

Somehow, all these people came to their house today.

Liao Qinglan suppressed her displeasure and walked into the main hall.

When the relatives saw her come in, they all stood up and saluted.

Liao Qinglan nodded slightly as a response, then walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

"Lan'er is getting more and more beautiful." An elderly lady flattered with a smile on her face.

Liao Qinglan did not show much joy at the old lady's praise, but simply responded calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, old lady."

"Child, don't you remember me? I am the old lady of the Liao family in Cangzhou. I am your grandmother's sister-in-law. According to seniority, you should call me Second Grandma. I held you in my arms when you were a child!" said the old woman.

"I'm sorry, my childhood memories are already fuzzy and I can't remember many things clearly." Liao Qinglan was merciless.

The old woman tried to get closer to you, and continued with a smile: "It's also our fault. We seldom come to the capital, so we don't get to know each other much. We should visit each other more often in the future to keep in touch with you."

Liao Qinglan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Cheng Yunxiang saw that her daughter didn't want to socialize with them, so she took over the conversation politely and asked with a smile: "Why did Second Aunt come here today? Is it because the other garden didn't take good care of her?"

"Lan'er is about to come of age, and I heard that the second son's daughter Wan'er will also be granted marriage by His Majesty. I thought that the feng shui of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really good, and there is a girl waiting to be married at home, her name is Liao Xian'er, so why not let her stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, maybe she can get some of the joy here."

Liao Qinglan understood what was going on. Seeing that Liao Wan'er had married into a wealthy family, she also wanted to live in the prime minister's residence, waiting for an opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.

She glanced at the old lady calmly and said indifferently, "Whether the feng shui of the Xiangfu is good or not is not up to the old woman to decide. As for staying overnight, the Xiangfu is not an inn, so you should just stay in the villa."

The old lady's face turned pale and blue.

She didn't expect Liao Qinglan to refuse so directly and felt very embarrassed.

But Liao Qinglan was the daughter of the prime minister and had a noble status. Even as her elder, it was not appropriate for him to get angry with her.

Seeing this, Cheng Yunxiang tried to smooth things over: "Lan'er is young and speaks bluntly, don't take it to heart. If the girl really wants to stay in the capital for a while, I will naturally make arrangements, but there are many rules in the prime minister's mansion, and I'm afraid she won't be used to it."

After hearing what Cheng Yunxiang said, the old lady's anger subsided a little.

She knew that Cheng Yunxiang was trying to save face, so she followed up the conversation and said, "Since Madam has said so, let's go back to the villa. I hope Madam can help my sister Xian find some outstanding men, and I will be relieved."

"Of course, don't worry, Second Aunt." Cheng Yunxiang comforted.

After hearing what Cheng Yunxiang said, the old lady nodded with satisfaction and was about to leave with her group.

Just then, Liao Wan'er walked into the main hall with a friendly smile on her face.

"Why are you leaving so soon? I want to have a personal chat with my sisters back home."
