That day.
On a whim, Linghu Lan went to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion to meet the female lead.
Gu Wan'er was unruly and unwilling to perform the proper etiquette.
The old lady almost fainted from anger.
Linghu Lan waved her hand to indicate that it was alright, and after dismissing everyone, she left only Gu Wan'er.
Gu Wan'er sat down casually, "What grudge do you have against me?"
"My past life!"
Gu Wan'er was speechless for a moment. She believed in her past life; otherwise, where did she come from?
"You don't care about the Yong'an Prince's Mansion. Whether it lives or dies, you don't care?"
"Heh! Should I care?"
Would you care if I cut off your monthly allowance?
Gu Wan'er's breath hitched. "It's all because of you. I could have been living a better life. If you hadn't deliberately cut off my source of income, how could I have ended up like this?"
Linghu Lan smiled slightly, "Yes, that's me. I love how you're restrained and like a trapped beast struggling."
What exactly do you want?
"They're bullying us because of our power!"
"Wen Qing, you shameless bastard."
"A shameless person has harmed his own sister."
Gu Wan'er was startled; she knew everything.
Linghu Lan patted her shoulder and said slowly:
"There's a saying that goes, 'If you're in a position, you should do your job.' You don't care about the Yong'an Prince's Mansion, but you enjoy their offerings without a second thought. In our area, you'd be called a scumbag."
"What did you say?" Gu Wan'er was shocked again. "Scumbag woman"—this term definitely didn't exist in ancient times.
"You know very well what I'm saying, Gu Wan."
Gu Wan, Gu Wan, no one knows that her real name is Gu Wan.
At that moment, Gu Wan'er's heart felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
She knows everything; she's the devil.
A scream echoed throughout the room.
Linghu Lan's eardrum was almost punctured.
Very good!
It scared the crap out of them.
I'm so awesome.
I love the way you look when you see a ghost.
After scaring the female lead, Linghu Lan happily went home to drink and embrace a man.
For a long time after that.
Linghu Lan continued her life of indulging in lust after being well-fed and clothed. She and Mu Xingzhi would drink and sleep together afterward, their married life being extremely harmonious.
She hadn't heard from Gu Wan'er for a long time.
So much so that when Linghu Lan saw Gu Wan'er at the state banquet on New Year's Eve, her extremely thin appearance almost made her unrecognizable.
Wow!
Why is it that other people can lose weight easily and still have a full bust, waist, and hips, while she not only has difficulty losing weight, but her breasts also shrink when she tries to lose weight?
That's unfair.
The state banquet on Lunar New Year's Eve.
Nations gathered to celebrate.
Gu Wan'er was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person that night, after all, she was well-known and had done several remarkable things.
Linghu Lan also met again with Consort Lian, the favorite concubine of Emperor Renzong and the birth mother of the Eighth Prince.
Every time I see her, I feel a sense of beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities, like the legendary beauty Tao Ji.
As someone who's obsessed with good looks, Linghu Lan was immediately captivated by Consort Lian, bowing down to her charm like an irresistible force of gravity...
The atmosphere at the banquet was not lively.
However, it was all very conventional, just saying auspicious and prosperous things.
The only major event that occurred was that Prince Si Junlin of Xianyu suddenly stood up and said, "The Great Jing Dynasty is a great and powerful nation. My Xianyu Kingdom wishes to take Princess Jiahe of the Great Jing Dynasty as my wife, so that our two countries may form an everlasting alliance."
The banquet fell silent instantly.
Emperor Renzong was extremely displeased. The Great Jing Dynasty had never had a princess marry into a foreign tribe, let alone Princess Jiahe, who was born to the Empress and had a noble status. How could she marry into a foreign tribe?
"We'll discuss this later. Today is New Year's Eve, so we should drink to our hearts' content."
Si Junlin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why not ask Princess Jiahe for her opinion first?"
Princess Jiahe was sixteen years old and had a dignified demeanor. She glanced at Emperor Renzong, stood up and said, "The princess is supported by the country and should listen to the Emperor's decision."
Si Junlin frowned and said, "I am sincere. Why did Your Majesty have someone substitute one person for another? The real Princess Jiahe is her. Does Your Majesty not want to part with her?"
He was referring to Gu Wan'er!
