The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

The location of Prince Zhan's Mansion is special. I don't know if it's because there is a hot spring vein underneath, but the lotus flowers in the lotus pond of Prince Zhan's Mansion bloom half a month earlier than those in other places.

The green lotus leaves float on the water. Under the sunlight, the water droplets on the lotus leaves are as crystal clear as pearls, radiating sparkling light.

The lotus flowers are in full bloom in various shapes and forms, exuding an elegant and pure temperament that is unforgettable.

At this time, exquisite snacks had been placed in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

Shen Qinglan was smilingly greeting several princes' wives who came to the mansion today.

The visiting cards she left yesterday were from these princes' wives.

The rest of the people could send someone to tell them that Lu Huaizhu was not in the capital for the time being, and they would not dare to come and make trouble, but...

These visiting cards from several princes' wives are special. If they are rejected directly, it would be a loss of face for them.

Moreover, since she has already chosen Ye Zhiheng, she naturally needs to understand her future opponents in advance.

It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Besides, the reason these princes' wives came here today was ostensibly for Lu Huaizhu, but in fact, they might also be extending an olive branch to Prince Zhan's Palace.

At this time, when several princes' wives arrived, they were quite surprised to see that the rest of the people were present.

However, she soon guessed that the other party's intention was the same as hers, and undercurrents began to surge between the prince and his wife.

"The lotus flowers in June are particularly red, and the pond is beautiful and intoxicating. The lotus flowers in Prince Zhan's mansion are so beautiful. Princess Zhan must have put a lot of thought into them, right?"

The Eighth Prince's wife spoke in a clear voice as she admired the lotus pond and praised Shen Qinglan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You are too kind, Princess Eighth Prince. The servants in the mansion are also dedicated."

The Ninth Prince's Consort at the side chuckled, looked the Eighth Prince's Consort up and down, and said with disdain:

"As expected of the Eighth Princess, she is the daughter of the Minister of Rites. She smells just like the Minister of Rites."

The Ninth Prince's wife has always looked down on the Eighth Prince's wife. No matter what the Eighth Prince's wife says, she always makes a sarcastic remark about her.

The Eighth Prince's Consort heard this, but she was not angry. She just looked at the Ninth Prince's Consort and smiled:

"Since you feel that studying is useless, why did you come to the palace to fight today?"

At this point, the Eighth Prince's Consort saw that the Ninth Prince's Consort's face darkened, and immediately smiled and teased:

"Speaking of which, I came here to ask my sons Minren and Minyi to become my disciples. After all, I only have these two legitimate sons, so I have to pay more attention to them."

"I admire my ninth brother's wife for treating a concubine's child as her own and making such plans for him. She is truly a legitimate mother."

The Ninth Prince's wife's face turned dark.

What the Eighth Prince's wife has been talking about is that she has not given birth to a child since she married into the Ninth Prince's mansion, and that her concubines got there first?

The Ninth Prince's wife was very angry, but she did not lose her composure. She just smiled and said:

"As a legitimate mother, she should have the grace of a legitimate mother. However, the Eighth Prince's wife has dominated the Eighth Prince for many years. Even after giving birth to a legitimate son, she still refuses to let the concubine in the backyard get pregnant. She is really overbearing."

Although there are many concubines in the Eighth Prince's mansion, only the Eighth Prince's wife gave birth to the emperor's grandson.

If the Eighth Prince's wife had not been secretly acting, how could one family be so dominant?

Therefore, the Ninth Prince's wife was secretly accusing the Eighth Prince's wife of being jealous, and therefore plotting against those concubines behind the scenes.

The Eighth Prince's wife immediately became a little angry and started arguing with the Ninth Prince's wife.

The Fourth Prince's wife looked anxious as she watched the two quarreling. She couldn't help but say:

"Eighth brother's sister-in-law, ninth brother's sister-in-law, stop arguing. This is not a big deal. Why make it this big? Why don't you each give in a little?"

The Eighth Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince's wife stopped and looked at the Fourth Prince's wife.

The Fourth Prince's wife lowered her head in fear, looking petty.

"Oh, I forgot about the Fourth Princess. It's understandable that the Eighth Princess came with me, but why did the Fourth Princess also come to Prince Zhan's Palace when she is so lucky?" The Ninth Prince's wife asked with a sneer.

"Yes, the Fourth Brother and the Fourth Sister-in-law have a deep love for each other. For the Fourth Sister-in-law's sake, the Fourth Brother never took a concubine, and he never even looked down on the Fourth Sister-in-law's identity as a peasant girl."

"It's a pity that the Fourth Princess hasn't gotten pregnant yet. Could it be that she's coming here now to reserve a spot as Mr. Lu's apprentice in advance?"

The Eighth Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince's wife immediately directed their attacks at the Fourth Prince's wife.

Even though the Eighth Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince's wife were not on good terms, they considered themselves to be of noble birth and they did not need to be pointed at by a country woman.

Suddenly, the Fourth Prince's wife's face turned pale, her eyes turned red, and she looked at the two of them pitifully, explaining:

"I, I didn't mean that..."

What the Eighth Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince's wife hated the most was the Fourth Prince's wife, who cried and acted so cautiously at every turn, which was really unworthy of the royal style!

The two were about to say something else when Shen Qinglan spoke at the right time. If she wasn't trying to stop them, she was really afraid that these people would start fighting in front of her.

By then, Prince Zhan’s Mansion will become famous.

Then, Shen Qinglan smiled and said to comfort the few people:

"Such a beautiful scene, why don't you enjoy it together, princes and princesses? Why lose interest because of those trivial matters?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and winked at the servant beside him.

The servants immediately stepped forward and poured a glass of wine for the princes' wives. Shen Qinglan smiled and said,

"This is the grape wine obtained in the extra chapter. It tastes sweet but not intoxicating, just right for women to drink. Princesses, why don't you give the Zhan Palace a little face and put aside your grudges with a smile?"

As the head of the family, Shen Qinglan had already spoken, so the princesses could not continue arguing.

They immediately responded with a smile and drank the glass of wine.

With Shen Qinglan mediating, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared and there was a little more harmony instead.

Even the Eighth Prince's wife and the Ninth Prince's wife, who loved quarreling the most, were amused by Shen Qinglan and smiled sweetly, calling Shen Qinglan a wonderful person.

Even the timid Fourth Prince's wife, under the guidance of Shen Qinglan, said a few more words.

Although this is only superficial harmony, everyone knows that if it weren't for Shen Qinglan, this superficial harmony would be impossible to maintain.

After three rounds of drinking, even though the grape wine was not very strong, the princes' wives were still a little tipsy.

The Eighth Prince's wife was thinking about the purpose of her visit today, so she smiled and said:

"I heard that Mr. Lu is very talented and is now in my mansion. My two little grandchildren have reached the age of enlightenment. It would be a blessing if they could be taught by Mr. Lu. I wonder if Princess Zhan can introduce one or two to them?"

"What the Eighth Princess said is true. After hearing about Mr. Lu's past glory, the children in our family also highly praised him. I'm sure Princess Zhan will not refuse, right?"
