An Yanran's face was full of anger. She was furious because she didn't get to eat the thing. But she happened to see Shen Zhiyun walking towards her. She was dressed especially carefully today. She wore a lotus silk pipa-collared top, a purple gauze and emerald green patterned skirt, and a jade hairpin with a Ganoderma lucidum and bamboo-node pattern inserted diagonally on her head. Her body was full of colors and very lively, which matched the flowers and plants of early summer. In a flash, it was as if she was a summer elf who suddenly appeared in front of her.
An Yanran knew that she could not compare with her now. She was bloated, her face was covered with spots, and her eyelids had been swollen for the past few days. So when she saw her coming, her eyes hurt.
Shen Zhiyun was in a good mood because her brother had come and the prince had invited her to dine with him, so even when she saw An Yanran, she was still happy: "Madam Yan, where are you from?"
"Hey, where are you going?"
"My brother is here today, and the prince asked me to keep him company."
"Oh, that's great, let's go." An Yanran said with a smile.
Shen Zhiyun was too happy to think about anything else. She passed by An Yanran happily, but in a flash, An Yanran cried out, her body tilted, as if she couldn't stand steadily, and she went to help Shen Zhiyun, who also subconsciously went to help her. As a result, there was a sound of cotton tearing, and Shen Zhiyun's emerald skirt was torn open, and even the watercolor panties inside were visible. Shen Zhiyun stood there completely stunned, while An Yanran, holding a piece of cloth in her hand, covered her heart with one hand: "You really scared me, why are you so careless, if I fall, the prince will probably blame you again."
"You...you fell down, what does it have to do with me?" Shen Zhiyun felt puzzled. He was walking fine, but she came to pull his clothes and now she was blaming him.
"Sister, what you said is true. We are sisters. With my body like this, I can't be frightened or scared. You are so impetuous, but I have a good temper. If it were someone else, they would say that I did it on purpose. Wouldn't that be unfair to me?" An Yanran stood there with a charming look, acting pretentiously.
Shen Zhiyun's eyebrows were furrowed with anger, but she quickly adjusted her mood and smiled: "Then my sister is more careful. Fortunately, there are witnesses. Otherwise, I really can't deny it. If it gets to the prince's ears, he will think that I am jealous of my sister."
After saying that, she turned around and walked back.
An Yanran looked at her messy skirt and a smile appeared on her face. It was a smile that came from the heart.
*******
Dusk has arrived, and the sky looks like it has been painted with thick colors, indigo blue, mixed with orange, yellow, red and purple, which is particularly beautiful.
An Yanran stood on the corridor, looking at the sunset in the sky, holding a golden hairpin in her hand, and scratched the vermilion lacquered pillar in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, leaving scratches on it.
Caiyun saw the pillar being scratched all over, but she didn't dare to speak out to dissuade them.
At this moment, a voice came from the door. A man in white came in. He had a handsome face and a spring breeze in his eyes. An Yanran smiled and greeted him, "Cousin."
Smelling alcohol, Dongfang Ye narrowed his eyes, grabbed An Yanran's arm, stared at her bulging belly, and laughed. An Yanran was a little confused. She didn't understand why her cousin laughed like that. Did she do something wrong?
"Cousin, you've drunk too much."
Dongfang Ye waved his hand, pointed at An Yanran's nose and said coldly: "You are a woman who is incapable of accomplishing anything. If you were not pregnant... Humph, you should take care of yourself in the future. If you dare to bully Madam Yun again, I will make you pay."
An Yanran looked at him blankly, then she remembered and gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin, I don't know what Sister Yun said to you, but what happened today is not what you think. I just had a backache and couldn't stand steadily. I wanted to help her, but she dodged and I almost fell down."
She lowered her head in grievance.
Dongfang Ye raised her chin: "Is it really as you said?"
"Of course, cousin, when have I ever lied to you?"
An Yanran blinked and looked at Dongfang Ye.
Dongfang Ye snorted coldly: "Okay, even if I believe you, if you act arrogantly again in the future and I hear about it, I will not tolerate it."
An Yanran nodded obediently: "Cousin, I have prepared some fine scented tea in my room. Would you like to have a cup to sober up?"
"You take a rest." Dongfang Ye flicked his sleeves, shook off An Yanran's hand, turned around and left without even turning his head.
An Yanran stood there, thinking about how her cousin used to treat her very gently. It was all Shen Zhiyun's fault. How come she was better than her?
Why?
She gritted her teeth and walked back angrily, going up the stairs at a brisk pace, but she was not distracted and she slipped, falling backwards like a mountain. Fortunately, Caiyun Yun and Xia were always guarding behind her, and the two of them stopped her. An Yanran covered her stomach and stood there, feeling a little scared. Fortunately, it only hurt for a moment and there was no more reaction. The pain in her stomach brought her back to her senses. She was relying on this stomach, and what would she do if something happened again?
Thinking of this, I was no longer angry.
The situation in Prince Kang's mansion has finally calmed down.
*************
Prince Ning's Mansion.
The night is still young and the lights are bright.
Juxian Pavilion.
Red candles, which were as thick as children's arms, were brought in one after another, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime. Prince Ning was hosting a banquet today. There were not many guests, but they were all important people. The Young Master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Prime Minister Sun Zuo, General Mei of Xuanwu, and Qin Jianren of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion were also present. Ever since An Qingran deposed him, he has seldom shown up in public and only tortured his concubines at home. He made the house a mess all day long. Prince Ning was his brother-in-law, and now was an extraordinary period. How could he not come to show his support?
This was his own idea, but Prince Ning did not take him seriously. Now, four or five out of ten important officials in the court were on his side. As long as the crown prince died, they meant to recommend him as the crown prince, because he was about the same age as Dongfang Ye, only a few months younger than Dongfang Ye, so the theory of seniority could be used as an excuse.
Furthermore, he felt that he had performed well in front of his father recently, and his father also showed his appreciation for him.
Therefore, Dongfang Yan was in high spirits now, and he did not hide his banquet from others. During the banquet, there was a group of carefully selected singing girls performing dances. After three rounds of wine, everyone was already tipsy, so they acted more and more wantonly, staring at the women who were only covered with gauze and whose graceful figures were looming, especially Qin Jianren. He could not stop the longing in his eyes, and waved to those women with one hand while holding the wine.
Dongfang Yan saw this and winked. These important officials stood on his side, on the one hand because he had made a great promise and they would get benefits, and on the other hand because he had given them direct rewards.
