The Princess of Northern Land

"I've sent someone to invite the prince to come back to the house. Miss Li can do it herself. I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now." Situ Gong explained with a smile.

"Mr. Situ is the person who helps the prince to do important things. We are not outsiders, so there is no need to deliberately entertain me. Sir, please do it." After symbolically giving Situ a blessing for his body, Li Yanran sat down and spoke unceremoniously, " I heard that the wintersweet flowers in the backyard are in full bloom, and I hope to go and have a look."

"Miss Li, do it yourself." Situ Gong knew what she had in mind as soon as he heard this. But if someone is stupid, he won't stop him. Besides, in the palace, a place where the guards are impregnable, she cannot cause trouble.

Li Yanran was extremely happy to receive Situ Gong's statement.

Just as Situ Gong guessed, Li Yanran's appreciation of plum blossoms was fake, but showing off in the backyard was real.

All the aristocratic families in Fengcheng knew that although there were no principal concubines in Prince Ling's Mansion, there were quite a few women in the backyard, and many of them were beauties sent by the emperor and other princes. There are already three concubines in the mansion, and there are countless beauties.

However, it was not the three concubines who took care of the backyard, but a maid and concubine in charge. In other words, no matter how high their status is, the three concubines still have to listen to a concubine when something happens.

Li Yanran had always been eyeing the position of Prince Ling's principal concubine, and of course she had no good impressions of all the women in the backyard. Among them, the three concubines and the maid and concubine were the ones that Li Yanran hated the most.

"Miss, the plum blossoms in the backyard are blooming so beautifully." Seeing the blooming plum blossoms, the girls next to Li Yanran were all attracted to the wintersweet.

"Sister, the wintersweet is in full bloom this year, so I can make more sachets." A delicate female voice came from the plum garden.

"I also want to pick more and go back to make tea with snow water."

"Oh, Sister Lin is still the best. She paints plum blossoms so enchantingly. If the prince sees it, he will definitely not be able to put it down."

…

Hearing these voices, Li Yanran suddenly showed a grin on her face, "Okay, just be here. She was worried about how to find these women."

She quickened her pace and walked towards the pavilion. In a small pavilion among the heavy plum trees, a group of beautiful women wearing thick cloaks were sitting or standing around the table, surrounded by many girls and nuns.

"It's so lively." Li Yanran deliberately said loudly in order to attract attention.

The women who were attracted by the painting heard her voice and immediately turned their heads to look over. When they saw Li Yanran's face clearly, some had playful smiles on their faces, while others had expressions of disdain. .

The cousins ​​of the Li family were eyeing the prince. Not only the noble families in Fengcheng knew about it, but even the women in the backyard had already gotten the news. Everyone will definitely not like a woman who earns a man by herself.

So, in just a moment, the women in the backyard almost formed an invisible alliance and began to share the same hatred against Li Yanran.

"It turns out to be my cousin." The person who spoke was the king's concubine among the three concubines. She was not too tall and had a baby face. She looked very cute and lovable, but what she said was unfortunate. It’s not very pleasant to hear, "The prince has been busy with official affairs and is not in the palace. Although the cousin is a cousin, she is no longer a baby. When the girl grows up, it is better to be more reserved, so as to save her cousin's melon fields and plums. , letting people point fingers at Miss Li behind her back, ruining Miss Li’s reputation and ruining the prince’s reputation.”

"Sister, what you said is wrong. Some people are naturally mean-spirited, as if they have never seen a man before. When they see our prince, they want to pounce on him." Gao Concubine, who turned out to be one of the concubines, is now Has been demoted to beauty.
