"What's so important that you came to Ningshou Palace crying? Who in the palace made you angry again?”The Empress Dowager's dignified voice rang out, waking Concubine Li and Lan Yu from their dazed state. The two of them hurriedly bowed.
Lan Yu had learned her lesson this time and also respectfully greeted Jiuran Ling and Jiuran Liang.
"Mother, Little Yu has just entered the palace today. It is understandable that she is not clear about the etiquette in the palace. However, as a princess, Ling-er should not make things difficult for her.”Concubine Li looked at Jiu Ranling meaningfully.
Jiu Ran Ling returned her an eyesore smile.
"Wu…Empress Dowager, Little Yu did not bow to the princess because she was happy to see Brother You. Little Yu admits that I was in the wrong first, but, but the princess is being so mean and making things difficult for me.”Lan Yu had a look of being wronged and could not speak out, crying very sadly.
"Now you know how to act weak. Didn't you criticize this princess quite ruthlessly just now? However, this princess has already cursed, and you want this princess to take it back?”Jiu Ranling pursed her lips and looked at her disdainfully.
The Empress Dowager looked at Jiu Ranling helplessly,""Little girl, you should speak less. He turned to look at Lan Yu." Lan girl, come and sit beside this widow."”
"Yes." Lan Yu shyly moved to the Empress Dowager's side and leaned into the Empress Dowager's arms, wiping her tears.
Concubine Li's eyes were filled with joy.
Looking at Concubine Li and Lan Yu who were putting on an act, Jiu Ran Ling snorted softly and gave Jiu Ran Liang a look.
Jiu Ranliang understood and pinched Jiu Ranling hard. It was so painful that tears streamed down her face.
"Woah-"
The Empress Dowager had just comforted Lan Yu when Jiuran Ling cried even louder. She hurriedly put down Lan Yu and went to check on her most beloved granddaughter.
"What's wrong, aijia's precious girl?”The empress dowager immediately hugged Jiu Ran Ling in her arms and whispered softly. Lan Yu, who was left to the side, instantly had a dark expression.
At first, Jiu Ranling gritted her teeth and could not say a word because of the intense pain. When the pain subsided a little, she immediately glared at Jiu Ranliang and said aggrievedly,"Ancestor, Ling-er is doing this for Lan Yu's own good. I hope that she will not disappoint Imperial Father's love, but how can Consort Li slander Ling-er's good intentions like this? It's fine if Concubine Li misunderstood Ling-er, but why doesn't even the ancestor understand Ling-er? Ling-er is really sad…"
As she spoke, she even winked at Lan Yu, whose face alternated between green and white. This Lan Yu was indeed powerful. She knew how to use her weakness as a woman to gain sympathy, and tears came easily. But if Lan Yu could cry, wouldn't she, Jiu Ran Ling, cry?!
How could the Empress Dowager not know what Jiu Ranling was planning? However, she still carefully coaxed Jiu Ranling and did not put others in her eyes at all. Concubine Li, who had been preparing her speech, did not know how to continue.
However, under the secret instruction of Jiu Ran Ling, Jiu Ran Liang sneaked under the table and hooked a leg of Lan Yu's stool. Then, she quickly sat up as if nothing had happened.
"Ouch!" Lan Yu had yet to react to what had happened when she fell down with her chair, and she fell in an unusually sorry state.
"Little Yu!" Concubine Li immediately went forward and called the palace maids to help Lan Yu up.
For a moment, Concubine Li's panicked voice, Lan Yu's screaming and crying, Jiu Ranling and Jiu Ranliang's muffled laughter, and the Empress Dowager's sigh mixed together.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
"What kind of place do you think this Ningshou Palace is?”A towering roar resounded throughout the entire Ningshou Palace. It was not the Empress Dowager, but the Emperor who was walking into the hall with a scowl.
Jiu Ran Ling's heart trembled. However, the smile on her face became even more charming." Ling-er was still wondering why Consort Li came to Ningshou Palace so slowly. It turns out that she went to invite Imperial Father in advance." Otherwise, Ling-er would have thought that according to the speed of Lan Yu's complaint, they would have bumped into Concubine Li halfway to Ningshou Palace!”
"You still have the face to say that!" The Emperor frowned and reprimanded her." It's fine if you usually cause trouble in the palace, but now, you're not even sparing Beloved Minister Lan's daughter. You even came to Ningshou Palace to cause trouble for the Empress Dowager. Am I really spoiling you too much?!"”
"This widow isn't angry, why are you so fierce at the girl!”The Empress Dowager's face turned cold and she began to criticize the Emperor.
"Mother, your son is doing this for the peace and quiet here.”The Emperor hurriedly smiled apologetically.
" Father," Jiuran Ling hugged the Emperor's arm and pouted,""Father, do you think it's all Ling-er's fault?”
The Emperor's anger was instantly reduced by half when he was looked at by Jiu Ran Ling with grievance.
" Emperor…" Concubine Li saw that the Emperor's anger might be extinguished by Jiu Ran Ling, so she immediately leaned to the Emperor's side and sobbed softly,"" Chenqie knows that Chenqie and Little Yu's lives are poor and they don't dare to be compared to the dignified Dragon Lady. However, Chenqie has served the Emperor with all her heart and soul. I have never done anything wrong to the Emperor. Now, I just want to find a marriage for You 'er. This motherly intention has been trampled on by the Princess. Chenqie, Chenqie…"
As he spoke, his face turned pale as if he couldn't catch his breath.
"Beloved consort, beloved consort, don't scare zhen!”The Emperor hurriedly held Concubine Li's slender waist." Since I've already promised you about Fourth Brother's matter, I will definitely fulfill it!”
Jiu Ranling looked coldly at Concubine Li, who was putting on an act, and the smile on her lips became more disdainful.""A femme fatale."
He really didn't know how she had developed a personality like Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother.
"Shut up!" The emperor rebuked him in a low voice. "The older you get, the more unruly you become. Go back to the Phoenix Feather Palace and face the wall. Without my permission, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the Phoenix Feather Palace!”
"Father, aren't you tired of using this trick every time?”However, Jiu Ranling did not care about being grounded at all.
" Your Majesty..." Concubine Li refused. Every time Jiu Ranling caused trouble, the emperor would at most ground her, and every few days, she would visit the Phoenix Feather Palace and be immediately coaxed to the point where he would issue an edict to pardon Jiu Ranling.
"Alright, alright, my dear consort. You're also an elder, so don't lower yourself to the level of a junior. How about this, in order to make it up to you, zhen will arrange for Lan Yu to live in fourth brother's Mingyou Palace.”The Emperor hugged Concubine Li." Are you satisfied with this, my beloved Concubine?”
Concubine Li was delighted. While Jiu Ran Ling was in confinement, Lan Yu and Jiu Ran You could improve their relationship. As for the other princes, who would dare to openly pick a fight with Lan Yu! She nodded shyly in the Emperor's arms.
"Imperial Father, aren't you pushing Fourth Brother into the fire pit!”Jiu Ranling's eyes widened. She could not believe that the Emperor had actually issued an edict.
"Go back to the palace!" The Emperor looked at Jiu Ran Ling with displeasure.
" Ancestor…" Jiu Ran Ling looked at the Empress Dowager for help.
The Empress Dowager waved at her without batting an eyelid. He asked her to go back first. When the Emperor calmed down, he would naturally let her out. As far as the Empress Dowager was concerned, this was the best way to resolve this matter.
Jiu Ranling stomped her feet and rushed out of Ningshou Palace angrily under Concubine Li and Lan Yu's provocative gazes.
