Lan Tianyin smiled faintly and stopped talking. He just leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing that she didn't want to say anything anymore, Princess Liushuang felt very aggrieved. What on earth did this woman want? She didn't want to show off to others like this! She stopped doing it halfway to save her face and let her take over.
What should I do if I get down?
Long Xilan's cold eyes glanced at Lan Tianyin and saw her fleeting frown, "Princess Liushuang, you'd better ride a horse! Anyway, your riding skills are good."
Princess Liushuang was so angry that she turned to shame. She glared at Long Xilan fiercely, turned around and rode off, looking like she was about to enter the palace.
Lan Tianyin and Long Xilan were on the carriage, and no one spoke.
However, this time, no one stopped them halfway and asked them to meet the Queen Mother first. They went directly to the Orchid Hall, the gathering point of the palace banquet.
"Your Majesty, Youlan Palace has arrived."
Long Xilan glanced at the plaque of Orchid Hall, then turned to Lan Tianyin: "Do you like orchids?"
"Orchid? It's okay! Basically, I like all beautiful flowers."
In other words, he has no special hobbies. Long Xilan nodded lightly: "Okay, let's go in!"
In the Orchid Palace, more than a dozen rich ladies have come, and they are all waiting for Prince Lan to appear, because they have received information from the palace officials in advance that last night's palace banquet was for the Queen Mother to choose Prince Lan.
Concubine. But I don’t know what happened. Prince Lan was absent, so I invited everyone to the palace again tonight.
A prince with both talent and appearance, as well as both civil and military skills in the Xingtu Kingdom, is over 20 years old and is still alone. How could he not be popular?
When the palace attendant shouted: "Prince Lan has arrived——"
All the ladies who were sitting in the garden of Orchid Palace looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, eagerly anticipating the appearance of the beautiful man.
While the girls were looking forward to it, they finally saw that handsome figure and his carefully carved facial features, which were perfectly coordinated with no flaws. His appearance was unparalleled, and the stars in his eyes were like the waxing moon in the night sky.
Bright and charming, but as indifferent as frost. Like a god who fell into the mortal world by mistake, no one can imitate his elegant and elegant temperament.
Such a look was hard to ignore, but before the girls had time to give Long Xilan a loving look, they saw Prince Lan walking in with a woman in his arms.
In the refraction of light from the soft palace lanterns, a woman came slowly and gracefully. Her smooth white dress was not embellished too much. The two skirt straps fluttered gently with her steps, and her black silk hair was scattered freely.
On the shoulders, flying in the wind.
As she walked through the porch, her snow-like white clothes were coated with soft gold, and all the scenery in the orchid garden became her foil. Her pure and earthy temperament attracted everyone's attention.
Putting aside the jealousy in their hearts, they had to admit that the two of them had an unusual sense of harmony at this moment.
But the key point is that the person standing next to Lan Tianyin is Long Xilan, the prince charming in their hearts, so Lan Tianyin becomes the focus of jealousy among the girls.
Why did she get the favor of Prince Lan? What qualifications does she have?
Long Xilan's eyes have been on Lan Tianyin since he came in. He didn't look at any of the women in the room, which made the girls even more appetized.
"Xue'er, what do you think of this place?"
Lan Tianyin was a little uncomfortable because of his excessive intimacy, but she had to cooperate with him in acting, with a hint of shyness on her face, "Fortunately, there are just too many people."
"I also felt that there were too many people. The queen mother said we were having a meal together. I thought it was a family banquet. I didn't expect that the queen mother entertained so many outsiders."
The expressions of all the rich ladies present changed. Does Prince Lan mean that they are all unnecessary outsiders and are not in his eyes at all?
They were unhappy, but no one dared to take the lead. Although Prince Lan has always been elegant, everyone also understood one truth: don't anger Prince Lan. An angry Prince Lan is not something ordinary people can afford.
At this time, another voice came from the door of the courtyard: "The Queen Mother has arrived, the Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived..."
Waiting for several important figures to appear, everyone bowed and knelt down in unison, shouting "See the Emperor..."
After kneeling down for a while, the ladies stood up and made way for them. The emperor, the queen mother, the empress, and two beauties in palace attire, who should be favored concubines, dressed in bright yellow, appeared in front of Long Xilan and the others one after another.
Long Xilan lightly lifted the corners of her clothes and said, "My son, please see your mother, your Majesty, your empress, your concubine Zhen, and your concubine Li."
"King Lan is exempt from the gift,"
After several important people took their seats, the Queen Mother glanced at Lan Tianyin with her phoenix eyes, and her face darkened slightly. She was obviously not a stunning beauty, so why did she let King Lan fall in love with her? What a shame, she was so willing to set up a trap last night, but it turned out to be a success.
If you kill them, you will lose your own people.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Long Xilan stood up and pulled Lan Tianyin to stand in front of him, "Empress Mother, today I want to introduce someone to you."
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed and she chuckled: "Really? It just so happens that Queen Mother also has some people here that she wants to introduce to you. The ones invited tonight are all the rich ladies of some important officials in the imperial court. Queen Mother personally checks them, but all of them are...
He is both talented and beautiful, and has a virtuous character."
"Oh, really? Is the queen planning to choose a concubine for the emperor again?"
The emperor curled his lips and said first: "Brother, you are wrong this time. The queen mother wants to choose a concubine for you, not for me!"
Long Xilan glanced at the emperor in surprise: "The emperor plans to grant me a marriage again?"
Forehead!
One word after another was enough to express his dissatisfaction with the emperor's marriage to Qin Meng'er. The emperor was very depressed and glanced at the Queen Mother, "Brother, the Queen Mother cares about you, not something I want to force on you. Besides,
, Brother Huang is not young anymore, it’s time to get married and have children.”
Long Xilan smiled slightly: "It's time to get a wife."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a smile appeared on her face, "Just think about it. The Ai family has been looking forward to your marriage for several years."
"I have made my mother worry so much. I came to the palace today just to reassure my mother. I want to tell my mother in person that I have the woman I like——"
Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother interrupted him directly: "King Lan, the Ai family hopes that you can select a few of these young ladies tonight, so that your backyard will not be empty..."
Long Xilan raised her eyebrows and glanced coldly: "Queen Mother, I already have my favorite candidate."
"Oh, really? Which daughter and concubine are you also picking?"
"Mother, there is only one person I want to marry, and that's Xue'er!" Long Xilan pulled Lan Tianyin and stood in front of the Queen Mother, looking very serious.
Everyone present looked at the Queen Mother's gloomy face and did not dare to say anything. The rich ladies who were interested in Prince Lan also looked at Lan Tianyin with extremely resentful eyes.
The low pressure lasted for a while, and then the emperor took the initiative to smooth things over: "Mother, my brother finally has the intention of getting married. This is also a great joy."
The Queen Mother glanced at Lan Tianyin with cold eyes, and said to them arrogantly: "Since King Lan is interested, let her become a concubine in your backyard! As for the main concubine and the side concubine, we will choose them here.
Excellent young lady."
After hearing this, all the noble ladies immediately became excited again, and they all looked at Prince Lan affectionately, hoping that they could be selected.
Long Xilan looked at the Queen Mother coldly and said slowly: "Mother, I want to marry Xue'er as a princess, not a concubine or a concubine!"
Bang——
There was a sound of breaking porcelain, and the Queen Mother looked at Lan Tianyin with sinister eyes, "For such a woman?"
"My king only needs her!"
"Absurd! If the Ai family is not mistaken, she is just a free-spirited woman. How can she be included in my royal family?"
Long Xilan glared at the Queen Mother with cold eyes: "Mother, I have taken advantage of her innocence. Do I want to be a heartless and heartless man?"
What!
The girls stood there with their eyes wide open. Prince Lan actually took the initiative to claim a woman's innocence and defended her like this...
Why, why is it that the woman protected by Prince Lan is not them?
The Queen Mother's eyes widened angrily: "You——"
"I want to marry the princess, but I just want to report to my mother and the emperor. Before my father died, he said that I will make the decision on my marriage. Please allow me to be an idle prince for the rest of my life!"
These words forced the emperor and others to nod and acknowledge his marriage. Although the emperor felt a little uncomfortable, he was still not too angry. After all, he felt that Prince Lan married a woman with no background like Lan Tianyin. In fact, for him,
not bad.
Although he also wants to believe that Prince Lan will not compete with him for the throne, the more peace of mind he can have in everything, the better.
The Queen Mother was angry, of course, not for Long Xilan's happiness. She just didn't believe that Long Xilan was really willing to be an idle prince all her life. That's why she wanted to select a woman from a family she could control to monitor Long Xilan.
Now, Long Xilan violated her will in public, which made her feel that her majesty had been lost.
Moreover, Long Xilan ruined Qin Meng'er, and she had to blame Lan Tianyin for this debt. Without Lan Tianyin, Long Xilan would not be so shameless and humiliate the Qin family's reputation!
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, the empress glanced at the emperor. The couple exchanged glances and said with a slight smile: "Mother, since the emperor has a woman he likes, how about we have a double happiness?"
Although the Queen Mother was dissatisfied, she still defended the emperor. She frowned and asked, "How come we have double happiness?"
"It's simple. Let the imperial brother marry this girl Xue'er and also marry two concubines. Isn't it a double happiness?"
"This -" the Queen Mother thought for a moment and glanced at Lan Tianyin provocatively, "Okay, then let King Lan select a few women with both virtues and choose a day to celebrate the wedding together!"
Lan Tianyin was speechless, let's celebrate the wedding together? The groom is alone, how can he be so happy!
"Miss Lan, what do you think?"
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Lan Tianyin curled her lips secretly, with a calm expression on her face, "I obey the prince in everything."
