Chapter 409 Lanpin Tea Party!
Rest after a few days
Yanyan was wearing a purple dress with large flying butterflies embroidered on the hem. She had a snake bun on her head and was sitting in front of the dressing table. She was holding a lavender butterfly velvet hairpin in her hand and playing with it!
"Yuzhu, why did Concubine Lan want to hold a tea party for no reason? The Imperial Concubine has only been gone for a short time! She's already so arrogant! I don't know what she's thinking about holding a tea party at this time!"
Yuzhu held the wooden comb in her hand without stopping, and gently combed the princess's hair. "Princess, how could I know this? It would be strange if I knew with my brain! I can only comb your hair and serve you!" After that, she combed the last bit of hair with the wooden comb!
Yanyan gently raised her hand and put the butterfly hairpin on her bun, watching the butterfly wings trembling slightly on her bun in the bronze mirror, it was very lively!
She couldn't help but chuckle, and picked up a smart golden peony hairpin and put it on her head. "Yes, it would be strange if you knew everything! This Concubine Lan is also a character. She can make the emperor fall in love with her, make her a concubine overnight, and live in Concubine Lan's Lanhua Palace. It can be seen that the emperor loves her! I just don't know if the fifth prince will feel uncomfortable. This is obviously inviting a wolf into the house!"
Looking at myself in the bronze mirror, I thought to myself, "I better go! If I don't go, how can I know what this new favorite concubine is thinking! There is no grudge, but if I don't go, it will not look good!"
Yanyan put on the last pearl hairpin, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and stood up with satisfaction, "Yuzhen, take the ginseng you prepared! Let's go!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Yanyan naturally put her hand on Yuzhu's hand and walked out slowly! Walking through the corridor, all the way to the garden!
Seeing Concubine Li being stopped by Nanny Wang, she couldn't help but stop and said, "What happened to Concubine Li? Why are you trying to stop her?"
Nanny Wang pulled Concubine Li to kneel down and said, "This old servant pays respects to the princess! Master Li has not answered any questions since she woke up. For several days, she has only smiled foolishly! This servant wants to take her back!"
Yanyan looked at the silly-smiling concubine Li and frowned in disdain, "Just a silly smile, eh!"
Yanyan didn't quite believe it, so she raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. Seeing that she didn't react, she couldn't help but ask, "You're so stupid!"
"I think he is really stupid. He didn't notice anything abnormal with Master Li. He just smiled foolishly every day and always looked out the window!"
Yanyan nodded gently, "Okay, let Butler Zhou assign you a few people to take good care of her and don't let her go crazy! It won't sound good if this gets out!"
Nanny Wang saw that the princess was not angry, so she pulled Concubine Li to thank her. However, Concubine Li could only giggle, her voice was a little hoarse, and she could only say "Hahahaha, haha, haha!"
Yanyan was standing far away, but she could see her tongue sticking out from laughing. She was so disgusted that she said, "Take her away! She looks scary!"
Nanny Wang then stood up and pulled Concubine Li towards the backyard. Concubine Li struggled hard and wanted to play in the garden, but was still dragged away by the maids and old women!
Yanyan shook her head and sighed suddenly, "How could such a good person become stupid? Concubine Li is too cruel. How is she going to live in the future?"
Yuzhu held the princess's hand and said softly, "Princess, don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong with Concubine Li's current state! Concubine Li didn't smile all day before, but now she's fine! I think she's very happy!"
Yanyan thought about it and nodded, then walked straight out of the house. All the way she was thinking, "Is this really happiness? Will she be happier now? Forget it, I hope she doesn't come out to make trouble!"
He stepped onto the carriage on a horse stool, leaned on a brocade pillow, stepped on a tiger skin, and covered his legs with a silk quilt. He said to Yuzhu and Yuzhen, "Don't kneel. You will have to kneel when you get to the palace! We are the master and servant here, so you don't have to kneel!"
Yuzhu and Yuzhen then carefully sat down and said, "I obey your command."
Yanyan looked at the two of them and didn't say much. It's better to be cautious now. After all, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, so it's better to be careful!
When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Yanyan stretched out her hand and let Yuzhu help her get off the carriage. Looking at the noble ladies who were invited to the side, Yanyan was very confused!
He thought to himself, "The Lan family should be chopped off, killed, or exiled! Why did Concubine Lan invite so many noble ladies? Could it be that Concubine Lan wants to win them over? But the Lan family has collapsed, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that it can never rise again!"
Walking into the palace again and looking at the high palace walls, I couldn't help feeling depressed!
When I passed by the garden and saw the filled lotus pond, I was filled with emotion and didn't dare to stay for a moment! I thought to myself, "It's finally filled!"
When they arrived at the gate of Lanhua Palace, there were many red silks hanging. Looking at the festively decorated palace, they couldn't help but stop! They secretly thought, "Princess Lan is slapping the Imperial Concubine in the face!"
As the palace maid walked into the main hall, she saw Concubine Lan, who was dressed in a gorgeous red dress and had a face very similar to Concubine Lan, sitting on a chair with a sweet smile. She couldn't help but be stunned!
Until I heard a shrill voice in my ear, "The Princess Regent is here!"
Yanyan came back to her senses and shouted to everyone who were kneeling and paying their respects, "Stand up!" Then she walked to the seat next to Concubine Lan and sat down!
Lanpin was helped by the maid beside her to stand up and salute. There was a flash of displeasure on her face, and then she said with a smile, "It's really an honor to be here. I didn't expect the princess to be so kind as to come to my Lanhua Palace!"
Yanyan had just sat down when Lanpin choked her. She was very dissatisfied and forced a fake smile, "Lanpin is insulting me! It's rare that Lanpin invites me, so of course I have to come! Madam Lanpin is the emperor's favorite concubine!"
Gently waving his hand, he motioned Yuzhen to come forward with the ginseng in her hand. "This is a hundred-year-old ginseng! Congratulations to Lady Lan for becoming the Emperor's favorite concubine!"
Lanpin looked at the hundred-year-old ginseng in the box, and her face became better. "Thank you so much, Regent Princess. You are so polite! I am so glad that you can come!"
Yanyan raised her hand to cover her lips and smiled softly, "As long as Concubine Lan likes it!" How shallow! She laughed at such a small thing!
Lanpin didn't realize she was being laughed at. She kept her eyes glued to the ginseng for a long time before she asked the maid to put the box away! "Serve tea to the princess. This is the pre-rain Longjing tea given by the emperor. Please taste it!"
"The emperor's reward is naturally the best!"
The maid next to her took the teapot, poured tea into the hot teacup, and gently held it in front of Yanyan, "Princess, please have some tea!"
Yanyan raised her hand and touched the teacup, smiling and said, "What a great tea! Please put it on the table for me! Let it cool down a bit before drinking it!" The tea was so hot that if she drank it now, she would probably burn her skin!
The palace maid glanced at her master inconspicuously, then retracted her gaze and placed the teacup on the table!
Lanpin was so angry that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand and cursed inwardly, "It turns out that those who can become princesses are not simple. They are too cautious! They don't want to touch anything after entering!"
