Chapter 88 Too Many Guests

"Your Majesty, Lady Bai, Lady Feng is here."

Xu Lanshan and Bai Guiren looked at each other, and suddenly smiled bitterly and felt a headache.

"Please come in."

They are all noble ladies. Although Xu Lanshan has a title, Concubine Feng is older than her. Even if she doesn't rush out to greet her, she should at least stand up to greet her.

Xu Lanshan didn't like Concubine Feng. These days, Concubine Feng came to visit almost every day. Sometimes she would stay for a long time, making awkward conversation with Xu Lanshan.

Xu Lanshan was in great pain.

If she really had nothing to talk about, she would drink tea for half a day.

Xu Lanshan felt even more miserable.

Just because Xu Lanshan can get along well with Concubine Bai and be relaxed and natural doesn’t mean Concubine Feng can do the same.

Concubine Feng came in and saw Concubine Bai was there too. She smiled and said, "Sister Bai is here too. What a coincidence!"

"Sister Feng!"

"Please take a seat, Lady Feng."

Concubine Feng smiled at Xu Lanshan as she sat down, "Sister Xu, this is too distant. Please stop calling me like that."

Xu Lanshan smiled weakly, "I'm used to it, Concubine Feng—ah, Sister Feng, please don't mind it."

Not everyone can call someone sister or sister. At least Xu Lanshan doesn't want to call Concubine Feng "sister" at all.

As for Concubine Feng, it was unknown whether she really didn't feel it or was pretending not to feel Xu Lanshan's disgust. Upon hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she nodded and smiled: "That's right!"

She sat down naturally and said with a smile, "I never thought that Sister Bai would come today. It's just right, it makes it even more lively!"

Lady Bai smiled gently and said nothing.

However, Concubine Bai has always been like this, and Concubine Feng didn't take it seriously.

He started chatting awkwardly with Xu Lanshan again. Seeing the scroll Xu Lanshan put aside, he asked with a smile what book she was reading. He then half praised her and half envied her and sighed, "Sister, you are so beautiful and hardworking. You even like this travelogue. I'm afraid you know a lot of words. Sister, you are really smart! No wonder the emperor likes you so much..."

It’s coming again, it’s coming again...Xu Lanshan wailed in pain!

Unexpectedly, after a while, Concubine Mo also came.

This is even better and more lively!

This person came to her two or three times recently and gave her gifts. She refused them again and again, but she had to choose from the large number of rewards she had received something of equal value and that would not be used for any purpose as a return gift to her.

Concubine Mo still refused to accept it, but Xu Lanshan naturally had to give it to her.

She had no relationship with Concubine Mo, so naturally she was unwilling to take advantage of her.

Besides, among so many people in the palace, the one who gave her the worst impression, apart from Concubine Lian, was Concubine Mo.

It was unknown whether Concubine Mo was aware of it or not, as the word "scheming" was written all over her face and eyes.

But she insisted on coming to Cuiyinxuan, and I couldn't chase her away, right?

I met Concubine Rou and Concubine Lin in the Imperial Garden yesterday. Concubine Rou even joked that she is now the most popular lady in the palace!

Whoever wants to be this delicious steamed bun can do it...

Concubine Mo was obviously older than Concubine Feng and Concubine Bai. After arriving, she acted like a senior and even showed a hint of hostility towards the two of them.

Xu Lanshan always felt that if this was not her territory, she would probably look at herself with disgust like this, right?

Now, there are three of them.

Concubine Mo and Concubine Feng were quite confrontational, speaking as if they were in a duel, neither willing to give in. Xu Lanshan and Concubine Bai exchanged a glance, neither interrupting, only listening quietly.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the emperor also came!

Xu Lanshan was stunned.

Lady Bai was also a little surprised.

Concubine Mo and Concubine Feng's eyes lit up and they were overjoyed. Xu Lanshan subconsciously glanced at them. She didn't know if she was dazzled, but she could see from their expressions a hint of "I've finally waited for it..."

Noble Lady Mo and Noble Lady Feng had already hurried out to greet them. "Your Highness! Greetings to the Emperor!"

Xu Lanshan called out to Noble Lady Bai: "Sister Bai, let's go out too."

"good."

"Your Majesty! My regards to the Emperor!"

When Emperor Yuan Yong saw Xu Lanshan, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was sure that he had not come to the wrong place.

Concubine Mo stood naturally beside Emperor Yuan Yong, with a smile on her face and a soft voice: "Your Majesty, please take a seat. Your Majesty is free today, and it is my blessing to serve you!"

Concubine Feng also smiled affectionately with a blushing face: "I am truly delighted to see the Emperor today..."

Emperor Yuan Yong looked towards Xu Lanshan.

Xu Lanshan, who had originally been looking very depressed, noticed this and quickly put on a business-like smile, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed secretly.

What is there that he doesn't understand about these little tricks in the harem?

He dotes on Lan'er more, but it's okay for Concubine Bai. These two must have taken the initiative to make friends with each other for this reason.

However, as long as these little tricks weren't too extreme, he actually didn't mind them. After all, they were trying to please him.

Besides, it would be nice for Lan'er to have more friends.

Emperor Yuan Yong jokingly said, "I didn't know you were all here. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to disturb you."

Concubine Mo and Concubine Feng smiled charmingly, "The emperor is here, your concubines are waiting for it!", "Yes, the emperor did not disturb your concubines, wouldn't it be better to talk to the emperor?", "You concubines are looking forward to the emperor's coming!"

Xu Lanshan: “…”

Could this scene of being surrounded by beauties not happen in her Cuiyin Pavilion? Was this the wrong place? Shouldn't this be happening in Ganyuan Palace?

She swore that if the emperor dared to flirt with his beauties here... she would also be angry!

Xu Lanshan felt a little annoyed for no reason.

Fortunately, nothing happened to upset her. As soon as Emperor Yuan Yong sat down, he said, "Alright, you can leave first. I have something to discuss with Concubine Chen. I will come to see you another day when I am free."

Noble Lady Mo said with a look of deep affection, reluctant to leave: "Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please don't forget that I am here to welcome you at any time!"

Concubine Feng also bowed obediently: "I will take my leave and pay my respects to the Emperor another day."

Noble Lady Bai bowed her head and knelt, then silently retreated with the two men.

The room finally became quiet, and Xu Lanshan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

When she raised her eyes, she saw Emperor Yuan Yong smiling at her.

When he smiled, she couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed again: What the hell are you laughing at! He feels so good and accomplished surrounded by beauties, showing off in front of her?

Emperor Yuan Yong extended his hand to her: "Come here."

Xu Lanshan didn't want to go over, so she said sourly, "I can't stand the smell of cosmetics. I'm afraid I'll sneeze all over the place and disturb the emperor. What does the emperor want to talk to me about?"

Emperor Yuan Yong raised his eyebrows and glanced at her in surprise, then laughed and said, "Is Lan'er jealous? That's rare!"
