Ruoyu's eyes lit up: "Piao'er, are you telling the truth? A man as divine as Lord Lan would be interested in me?"
An Piao'er patted Ruoyu's hand encouragingly: "Our Ruoyu is beautiful and elegant. As long as you take the initiative, Lord Lan is not heartless. He will eventually melt away."
Encouraged, Ruoyu gained a strange confidence: "I must become Mrs. Lan."
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and complained, "Lin Ruoyu, you'd better give up. How dare you lay your hands on a deity? Stop being disgusting."
The two groups of girls started a verbal battle that wouldn't stop for a moment.
Over the years, An Piao'er has worked hard to make her way in the circles of noble ladies in Shengjing and has built up a network of connections. However, at the same time, there are also many people who dislike her.
An Yuan'er watched indifferently as these people argued wildly.
She spent most of her time in Chenyang Palace and didn't go out to make friends. Even Mo Ran, the only person who was good to her, left.
Although An Yuan'er sometimes felt lonely, the aristocratic young ladies' competitive and jealous relationships were all superficial. An Yuan'er felt that it was better not to have such sisters.
She quietly left her seat to get some fresh air outside.

After being exposed to the cold wind, An Yuan'er became much more awake.
On the way back, behind the dimly lit artificial hill, An Yuan'er heard strange noises.
It was the sound of a man and a woman laughing and flirting.
"My little darling, did you miss me?"
Then came the sound of clothes being taken off.
"I've thought about it. I think about it every day, every single day."
The sounds of panting and colliding were enough to make one blush and their heart race.
An Yuan'er never expected to stumble upon a pair of lovers. She had no intention of prying into other people's private affairs and, adhering to the principle of "it's better to mind your own business," An Yuan'er got up and prepared to leave.
Just about to leave—
"Between me and that old guy, who's more capable?"
"Mmm~~" the woman moaned contentedly, panting as she said, "The prince is so vigorous and energetic, how could I possibly be without him? If it weren't for the prince, I wouldn't want to please that old man. In my heart, he's not even a fraction as good as the prince."
The man was very pleased with the praise and worked even harder.
An Yuan'er sensed something was amiss. This concubine was not a newly appointed beauty by the emperor. During this period, the concubine had been the emperor's favorite, and he spent most of the month with her.
This beautiful concubine has some nerve; she actually dared to have an affair with a prince.
Although it was a bit shocking, An Yuan'er was determined to find out which prince was so audacious as to have an affair with a concubine.
Just as she was about to peek out, a stray cat happened to walk by, startling her.
The stray cat also startled the couple who were deeply in love.
The man, being cautious, immediately put on his clothes: "There seems to be someone over there?"
Meiji, caught in a limbo, murmured, "Your Highness, it's just a wildcat, let's continue!" and entangled herself around him again.
The man patted the beautiful woman on the back: "I've just regained my favor today, so there can't be any mishaps. I'll go check on her!"
An Yuan'er secretly cried out in alarm; this stray cat had gotten her into serious trouble.
As the footsteps grew closer, An Yuan'er's heart pounded faster and faster, and her palms were sweaty.
Could she be so unlucky as to be killed like this?
Curiosity killed the man, that's so true. I should have known better than to go around it.
An Yuan'er was filled with regret.
An Yuan'er didn't want to sit and wait for her death. Just as she was about to run away from the artificial hill in the opposite direction, a dark figure loomed over her, carrying a strong smell of alcohol.
