The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

After hearing Shen Ruolan's words, the beauties all looked at each other and bowed to her in tacit understanding, saying, "Your maidservants, Concubine Wu, Concubine Yu, Concubine Xue, Concubine Ding, Concubine Li, greet Concubine Lan."

Although everyone was very dissatisfied with Shen Ruolan in their hearts, the rules could not be ignored. After all, her current status was second only to the princess, and it was easy to deal with them.

Shen Ruolan said to the beauties, "Please don't be polite, ladies. Please take a seat."

After saying that, she instructed He Yue, "He Yue, quickly make tea for these beauties."

"Yes, my lady." After He Yue finished speaking, she hurried to make tea.

Several beauties sat down and looked carefully at Shen Ruolan's residence. They saw that the courtyard she lived in was larger than the ones the five of them lived in. Li Meiren, among them, looked at Shen Ruolan with envy and said to her meaningfully, "The prince is really good to Concubine Lan. This courtyard is almost as big as the prince's Linfeng Residence."

After Lady Li finished speaking, the other beauties looked at Shen Ruolan, wanting to see her reaction.

After all, only the principal wife, that is, the future princess consort, is eligible to live in the prince's residence. As a concubine, her ambition to live in such a courtyard can be imagined.

Shen Ruolan knew that Lady Li was setting a trap for her. But she didn't like to beat around the bush with them. She smiled at her and asked her directly, "Lady Li means that the prince is not good to you?"

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "But I have been here for more than four months, and I still don't know what the prince's Linfengju looks like. Since Concubine Li has been to Linfengju, it is enough to show that the prince also favors you the most. In terms of the status in the prince's heart, this concubine is not as good as you, Concubine Li."

"After all, that is a place that no one except the princess dares to set foot in." Shen Ruolan said, and then added.

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, the other beauties looked at Concubine Li at the same time and asked, "Concubine Li, have you really been to the prince's Linfeng Residence?"

The questions from the other beauties made Lady Li blush instantly. How should she answer now? Say that she had never been there? Wouldn't that give Lan Wanxi a handle to defeat her?

But if she had said she had been there, the covetous looks of the beauties in front of her made her a little scared. She was worried that she would be torn to pieces by these people when she returned.

Just when Lady Li didn't know what to do, Dong'er came back from outside with a food box and said, "My lady, the food is here."

After she finished speaking, she saw several beauties there. She bowed to them and took the food box to the dining table to place it.

When the beauties saw that Shen Ruolan was going to eat, they all stood up and said goodbye and left. Their purpose today was just to see what kind of person she was. Now that they had seen her, there was naturally no need to stay any longer.

As soon as the beauties returned to Youxiang Garden, they gathered together to discuss: "This Lan Wanxi is very different from the legend."

Lady Wu nodded and said, "Yes, from her conversation with Lady Li, it can be seen that she is a vindictive person, and she is not at all humble and cowardly as the rumors say."

Her words just now seemed soft and harmless, but they were enough to push Concubine Li into the bottomless abyss. Fortunately, the princess had not yet married, otherwise, Concubine Li would have been punished today.

Concubine Wu thought of this, she looked at Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Li, have you really been to the prince's Linfeng Residence?"

Several other beauties also looked at Concubine Li.

Li Meiren was so embarrassed that she blushed and said to everyone, "No."

She just wanted to make things difficult for Concubine Lan, but she didn't expect that she would take advantage of the situation and bring up the issue of her coming.

Lady Wu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Use your brains in the future."

After saying this, she turned around and went back to her room.

The other beauties also looked at Concubine Li and went back to their rooms.

In Qingfeng Courtyard, after several beauties left, Shen Ruolan started to eat as if nothing had happened.

Wan Dong stood beside her with a worried look on his face and said, "My lady, judging from the looks of those beauties, I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful life in the future."

Shen Ruolan said while eating: "It's okay, we can just stop the enemy with soldiers and cover the water with earth."

Although she is not good at house fighting and does not beat around the bush, if anyone wants to take advantage of her, don't blame her for being rude.

Seeing that her young mistress looked calm, Wan Dong was no longer worried and just waited quietly by the side.

After a while, Shen Ruolan had just finished her meal when Manager Zhao came over with a group of people and said, "This old servant pays respect to Concubine Lan."

Shen Ruolan glanced at the people behind Manager Zhao and asked him with a puzzled look on her face: "Manager Zhao, may I ask what this is..."

Manager Zhao reported to Shen Ruolan truthfully: "In reply to Concubine Lan, this old servant has been ordered by the prince to deliver clothes to Concubine Lan."

"Send clothes?" After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she took a look at the clothes on the maids' trays. The headdresses and other things were acceptable, but that bright red dress, was she sure that it was something a concubine like her could wear?

Seeing that Shen Ruolan was still confused, Manager Zhao continued to say to her, "Concubine Lan, the prince asked you to prepare in the next two days. On the New Year's Day, you will go to the palace with the prince to attend the palace banquet. This is the dress you will wear when entering the palace."

Shen Ruolan took a look at the bright red dress, frowned and said to Manager Zhao: "Manager Zhao, I'm afraid the color of this dress is inappropriate."

If she entered the palace wearing this bright red dress, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion would want to eat her up. The Emperor and the Empress would also lecture her. She didn't want to make herself unhappy.

Manager Zhao said, "Concubine Lan, this is what the prince ordered."

In fact, Manager Zhao was also very puzzled. Logically, a concubine was not qualified to enter the palace, but their prince not only brought the concubine into the palace, but also prepared things for her according to the system for princesses. Such weird behavior made people puzzled.

"Since it's the prince's order, just put it down." Shen Ruolan saw that it was useless to say more, so she simply accepted it.

Although she couldn't figure out Jiang Dichen's thoughts, there was one thing she was sure of: Jiang Dichen brought her into the palace just to use her to disgust certain people.

Speaking of disgusting people, it reminded her of the woman under the corridor that day. She should also go to the palace banquet, right?

Thinking that Lan Shurong would enter the palace, Shen Ruolan was not opposed to it, but looked forward to it, because this was the most rare opportunity to deal with Lan Shurong.

"Yes, Concubine Lan." After Manager Zhao finished speaking, he asked someone to put the things down and left with everyone.

Wan Dong and He Yue looked at the things in the room and were stunned for a long time. It was not until Manager Zhao asked them to pack up their things that they came to their senses.

Wan Dong looked at Shen Ruolan with excitement and said, "My lady, look at these things. They are all done according to the princess system. The prince..."
