"Humph!" The Crown Prince wanted to anger her, but Jiu Ranling was not angry. Instead, she laughed." Brother Crown Prince, you're wrong." Lan Yu wasn't the emperor's relative but because of Consort Li, she was conferred the title of princess by her father, thus she should be deeply grateful. Her words and actions must not lose the face of the royal family, otherwise if it were to spread, would it make her father lose face? Now that she looked like she was not capable, how could she be the mistress of Fourth Brother's Mingyou Palace in the future and become Fourth Brother's virtuous wife? Wouldn't that be a joke? Alright, even if we put this aside, Lan Yu hasn't married into the palace yet. Just now, she had lost all manners. If there's really such a thing as her marrying into the palace…"
Jiu Ransheng laughed in his heart. In terms of arrogance, Jiu Ran Ling was the first, yet she was scolding Princess Lan Yu in such a righteous manner. It was just that the brothers were extremely protective of their own people. In front of outsiders, they would definitely stand with their younger sister.
Jiu Ranyou looked at Jiu Ranling, not knowing what to do with her righteous nonsense, but the smile in his eyes deepened.
After hearing what Jiu Ran Ling said, Jiu Ran Xiao could not think of any words to resolve it and was instantly stunned. Lan Yu, who was originally so angry and aggrieved that her eyes were filled with tears, understood that this princess would never let her marry Jiu Ranyou easily after hearing Jiu Ranling's words. She was instantly furious and pointed at Jiu Ranling. Her face was red and her eyebrows were raised."As a princess, you insult the daughter of a minister. Is this your so-called royal style? Although the Emperor has yet to issue a decree, it is already set in stone that I will marry Brother You in the future. Even if I am only a princess and my status is not as noble as yours, I'm afraid you will have to respectfully call me Fourth Sister-in-law!”
"Impudent!" Before Jiu Ran Ling could speak, Jiu Ran You, who had been silent all this while, finally put down the teacup in his hand and said in a sharp tone,""Is this how you should treat a princess?”
"Even if you are the princess conferred by my father, you should know your limits in this palace.”Jiu Ransheng's eyes, which had always been seductive, were sharp.
"Hmph, willful and arrogant. Why didn't he look at himself? Why did he overstep his boundaries and control the princess?”Jiu Ran Yu sneered.
Even the usually gentle Jiu Ranjin was displeased.
Lan Yu used to think that Jiu Ranyou was so indifferent to her because of his cold nature, but she did not expect him to make things difficult for her because of Jiu Ranling. She was stunned.
The Crown Prince swept his gaze over the angry expressions on his younger brothers 'faces and sighed inwardly that this Lan Yu really didn't know how to read the situation. What kind of person could not be rebutted? He actually berated Jiu Ranling in front of so many masters who protected their sister to the bone.
" Royal Sister," Jiu Ranliang turned around and looked at Jiu Ranling with her usual innocent face." This future Fourth Sister-in-law is really unruly and fierce. Fourth Brother is too pitiful."”
Jiu Ran Ling was not angry at all. She was still smiling,""Shier, that's because your future Fourth Sister-in-law is afraid that she will never be able to enter Mingyou Palace. Oh right, Princess Lan Yu, I don't know if you know, but I personally asked my father to postpone the wedding.”
Lan Yu suddenly widened her eyes. Her tearful eyes were filled with shock, doubt, anger and resentment. After glaring at Jiu Ran Ling for a while, she turned around and ran away from the pavilion.
"Countess Lan Yu is after all Imperial Father's honored guest. Third Brother and I were ordered to accompany and entertain her, so we won't talk to the siblings in detail. If he had time next time, he would invite his younger siblings to admire the flowers together.”The moment Lan Yu left, the Crown Prince smiled and bade them farewell. However, the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Brothers, take care." Jiu Ran Ling waved at them familiarly, but her tone clearly told them to get lost.
The Crown Prince cursed silently and left with Jiu Ran. Although he was the Crown Prince, he definitely could not afford to offend Jiu Ran Ling in the current situation. He did not want to go against Jiu Ran Ling just for Lan Yu.
"How carefree." Jiuran Ling stretched lazily.
"Ling-er, aren't you being too disrespectful to Countess Lanyu?”Jiu Ranjin still couldn't fully agree with Jiu Ranling's method.
"Fifth Brother, you're too kind." Jiu Ranling patted his shoulder." If Miss Lan Yu wanted to save face, she wouldn't have pounced on Fourth Brother in front of so many people!”
" That may be the case…" The kind-hearted Jiu Ranjin still found it hard to accept.
"Why? Fifth Brother, do you sympathize with her that much?”Jiu Ranling glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and grinned." If Fifth Brother likes her so much, I'll tell my father and officiate the marriage between the two of you." Anyway, you are also Concubine Li's son. Concubine Li shouldn't be so biased.”
Jiu Ranjin shivered and quickly shook her head, not daring to interfere in this matter.
" Ling 'er, don't tease Jin." Jiu Ranyou smiled and rubbed Jiu Ranling's head." You know Jin is used to being honest. It's normal for her to not like your ideas."”
"Humph. I helped Fourth Brother get rid of Lan Yu, but now Fourth Brother is burning the bridge after crossing the river and saying that my ideas are all evil.”Her feathers were wrapped around her chest, and her mouth was high.
"Ling-er, you know I don't mean that. You also know that I'm not good with words…" Jiu Ranyou quickly apologized.
Jiu Ranling turned her head away, but her lips curled up slightly.
"Alright, I've finished admiring the flowers, enjoying the tea, and watching the show. This Young Master still has an appointment, so I'll take my leave first.”Jiu Ransheng stood up and bowed to everyone. He opened his folding fan and walked out of the pavilion.
"As expected of a dutiful playboy.”Jiu Ranling looked at Jiu Ransheng's departing back and shook her head as she sighed.
After that, everyone chatted in the pavilion for a while before they dispersed.
"Ling-er, you…"
Jiu Ranyou was interrupted by Jiu Ranling just as he opened his mouth." Fourth Brother, you should go back and handle your official business. It's rare for Father to think so highly of you. I'll look for you another day."
" Then now…" Jiu Ranyou suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I'm going to Ningshou Palace to take care of the following matters. Fourth brother, it's better for you to leave.”Jiu Ranling smiled." Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I'll definitely help you get rid of this marriage." Twelve, are you coming with me?"
"Alright, how can I be missing out on this good show that all the families in Ningshou Palace are singing together?”Jiu Ranliang agreed readily. Her porcelain face had an innocent smile, but her eyes were flashing with the same mischievous light as Jiu Ranling's.
Jiu Ranyou knew that he couldn't stop Jiu Ranling, so he just whispered,""Playing is playing, but don't hurt yourself.”
There was a rare seriousness in his tone.
Jiu Ranling's stunned expression was short-lived. She looked away and smiled as usual,""Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I know what to do.”
