Chapter 111 In this case, the girl can't stay

Ji Jinyou didn't understand: [Why? ]

Yes, why? Everyone was curious, their eyes moving back and forth between Noble Ruan and Noble Lan.

System: [The two knew each other when they were still in the family, and often met at some banquets. Noblewoman Lan bullied the good and feared the evil. She fawned on the nobles with higher family backgrounds than her, but was arrogant and domineering in front of the nobles who were not as good as her.]

The concubines who knew Lord Lan's character well all nodded in their hearts, secretly thinking that Tong Tong's summary was very accurate.

Ji Jinyou couldn't help but ask: [Did she bully Mr. Ruan? ]

System answer: [No, that's not the case. Lady Ruan's father is a fourth-rank provincial councilor, and Lady Lan's father is a fifth-rank Guanglu Temple junior official. The two have similar family backgrounds, and Lady Ruan is not the type to be bullied. There is no direct conflict between the two of them.]

[However, Ruan Guiren has a cousin from the Song family. She is of humble origins and her father is a local seventh-rank county magistrate. She once visited Ruan Guiren's family and wanted Ruan Guiren's mother to help her find a marriage in the capital. Ruan Guiren has a deep relationship with her cousin. When she was in the family, she would always bring her cousin with her to various banquets.]

[The cousin of the Song family looks somewhat similar to Noble Lan, but her facial features are more delicate than Noble Lan's, and she is taller. When the two of them appear together, Noble Lan looks like a fake. In addition, this cousin has a gentle temperament and smiles at everyone she sees. She is much more likable than Noble Lan and has a good relationship with people, which makes Noble Lan extremely dissatisfied with her. ]

【Noble Lan first inquired about the background of the cousin of the Song family. After knowing that her father was a seventh-rank county magistrate, he became fearless. Every time he met her, he would talk about the cousin of the Song family's clothes. Young girls always wore similar clothes. Noble Lan deliberately found fault with them. Every time he brought a few girls to ridicule the cousin of the Song family. In short, he would not allow her to wear similar clothes as himself.】

[If Noble Ruan was around, she would fight back on the spot. Once, when Noble Ruan was not around, Song's cousin was bullied by Noble Lan and cried. After that, she didn't want to stay in the capital and went straight back to her hometown. Later, she found a husband in the local area and got married.]

[Noble Ruan originally planned to have both sisters marry in the capital, so that they could visit each other frequently and live together for the rest of their lives, and the two families' children would be as close as one family. But Noble Lan did this, and her beautiful vision of the future was dashed. She was very sad and angry, and she started to hate Noble Lan.]

[From then on, whenever Noble Lan was present, Noble Ruan would show up, and she would bring several sets of clothes and jewelry with her, adding and changing them at any time, making sure she was dressed very similarly to Noble Lan, which made her feel uncomfortable.]

Ji Jinyou could understand Ruan Guiren's actions: [That is understandable, but how did they enter the palace together? ]

System: [Originally, Lady Ruan had no intention of entering the palace, but when she heard that Lady Lan was going to the palace for the selection, she asked her family to sign her up, and decided to fight her to the end.]

[Later, both of them were chosen, so Noble Ruan continued to dislike Noble Lan. Life in the palace was lonely and boring, and Noble Ruan decided to spend the rest of her life with Noble Lan. ]

Everyone sighed in their hearts. This noble lady Ruan was indeed a person of kind nature. In order to protect her sister, she even risked her life.

When Noble Ruan heard what Tong Tong said, he thought of his cousin whom he had not seen for a long time. He glared at Noble Lan fiercely, wishing he could stab her in the face a few times.

When she heard that the scholar was going to hate her for the rest of her life, Lady Lan was so angry that she was shaking and the nails on her hands under her sleeves were about to break.

These women, who have no worries about food and clothing, are unaware of the sufferings of the world. They spend all day messing around with these gossips simply because they are too idle. When Emperor Wen Zhao heard this, he snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay any attention to them.

In the eyes of the Empress, the Imperial Consort and others who had experienced countless life-and-death struggles, these things were not a big deal, and everyone looked normal without any disturbance.

Ji Jinyou asked again: [What about the end? How did they die in the end? ]

System: [They are both minor characters like Shi Zhaoyi and Yu Zhaoyi, who don’t get much attention. It’s only said that they died in battle, but the details of how they died were not mentioned.]

Ji Jinyou: [Okay then, do they have anything else to do? ]

The system flipped through it and said, "I can't see it here."

Ji Jinyou stopped asking questions and nestled in the Queen's arms obediently. His big dark eyes began to roll around again, trying to find a new target for gossip.

Almost all the concubines sitting there had been summoned to Chongde Hall by Emperor Wen Zhao, and all the most shameful things they had done had been exposed. Even if something else was exposed, there was nothing to be afraid of, so they all gave up and sat there quite frankly.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Jiang was released from house arrest early. At this moment, she was sitting in an inconspicuous corner, staring viciously at the fat baby in Emperor Wen Zhao's arms.

The Thirteenth Prince, who was sitting next to her, looked at his mother's clenched jaw and slightly crazy eyes, and felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart.

This was the first time that Concubine Zhuang heard Tong Tong speak. Seeing that the little girl's big round eyes were about to turn to her, she became alert and quickly gave the Second Prince a look.

The second prince was also worried about being exposed, so he quickly winked at the second prince's wife who was sitting nearby. The second prince's wife immediately understood and secretly pinched her son's leg.

The child was a delicate child to begin with, and was feeling sleepy at the moment. He was suddenly pinched hard and started to cry loudly.

The second prince took the opportunity to stand up and confess his guilt: "Sheng'er was sleepy and was making a fuss. Please forgive me, father."

Emperor Wen Zhao knew that his grandson was a crybaby, so he didn't mind. He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. Take Sheng'er back to rest first."

The Second Prince hurriedly thanked him, held the child in his arms, and took his wife to leave. Concubine Zhuang also stood up and left, citing concern for her grandson. The mother and her children withdrew in time before Xiaojiu could lock onto them.

When they got outside, the second prince dismissed the servants and whispered to Concubine Zhuang about the matter of Tongtong.

Concubine Zhuang Guifei's face darkened and her voice turned cold as she heard this: "It's not a long-term solution to keep hiding like this."

The second prince also looked extremely serious, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" character: "Yes, I got away with it this time, but who knows what will happen next time."

In this harem with so many concubines, Concubine Zhuang was able to reach the position of a noble concubine. Naturally, she was not a pure person and her hands were not clean.

Thinking about the consequences if her actions were exposed, Concubine Zhuang Gui's eyes turned cold: "If that's the case, then that girl can't be kept."

The second prince nodded and whispered, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Concubine Zhuang Guifei: "What are your plans? Is the Seventh Master available to you?"

Speaking of the Seventh Prince, the Second Prince told him about the Seventh Prince's previous plan. After he finished speaking, he looked disdainful and said, "The Seventh Prince is also useless. He only knows how to make a fuss. It has been so long and there has been no movement from him."

"However, it was also because my father was on guard that he kept a close watch on the Xu family couple."

Concubine Zhuang Guifei warned: "You'd better stay away from the Seventh Master, lest he does something stupid and implicates you again."

The second prince should be.

Under the night sky, the mother and son walked forward in silence. The Second Prince's wife followed a few steps behind them, holding the child in her arms, not daring to get too close.

After walking for a while, the second prince asked, "Mother, now that little Jiu is surrounded by people everywhere, it is really difficult to take action. Does the Queen Mother have any ideas?"

Concubine Zhuang Gui thought for a moment and said, "Having more people does have its advantages."

The second prince asked, "What do you mean, mother?"

Concubine Zhuang sneered, "The Chongyang Palace Banquet."
