"In the past, I always thought that you could be with Fourth Brother. If that were the case, Fourth Brother might smile more often. However, I didn't expect that you were Ninth Brother's concubine." Thirteenth Prince's words were full of drunkenness. Although he was not unconscious, he had drunk too much after all.
Jiang Ranli didn't say anything. She didn't really want to talk about this topic and didn't know what to say.
"Do you know how shocked I was when I learned that your real identity was Ninth Brother's concubine? That feeling was like a bolt from the blue. In fact, when I first learned the news, I felt a little resentful towards you, thinking that you deliberately concealed your identity to trick Fourth Brother," the Thirteenth Prince talked about the past while drunk.
Jiang Ranli was silent for a while and said, "I did deliberately conceal my identity, but I didn't mean to trick anyone."
She did deliberately conceal her identity at the beginning, but her original intention was to leave Yinzhen and leave the Forbidden City, which was a big melting pot. She didn't want to fool anyone.
The Thirteenth Prince nodded and said, "I know that when you found out about Fourth Brother's feelings for you, you immediately wanted to draw a line between you and him. I know you didn't mean to fool anyone, but Fourth Brother fell into it."
The Thirteenth Prince has been with Yinzhen since he was a child. In that huge palace, no one knows Yinzhen better than him. He knows his restraint, forbearance, pain and indifference, and he also knows his inner desire. However, Jiang Ranli did not choose him after all.
Jiang Ranli frowned slightly. She respected Yinzhen, but there was a parallel relationship between them. "Thirteenth Master, let's change the subject. Look, the cold winter is over and everything is reviving. It won't be long before the birds that have been hiding from the winter will come back."
The Thirteenth Prince realized that he had said something he shouldn't have. Jiang Ranli and Yin'er were already together, and they had a lovely child. Saying this now would only cause her more trouble.
When the Eighth Prince, Yin'er, the Fourteenth Prince, and Jiang Fan woke up from their drunkenness, it was already evening and the Thirteenth Prince had already left.
After a simple dinner, the Eighth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and Jiang Fan also left one after another.
Lying in Yin'er's arms at night, Jiang Ranli was completely sleepless. She had never allowed herself to think about the direction of history before, but now that the Thirteenth Prince had been released from confinement, the restoration of the Crown Prince would soon be imminent, and the situation in the court would become more and more treacherous.
A few days later.
While Jiang Fan was busy running around, Shuangxueyuan, Yuerongfang and Dufang opened grandly in the capital. The names of these three shops were widely circulated in the Qing Dynasty, and business was booming as soon as they opened.
In addition, the Eighth Prince, Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince all showed up to show their support, which quickly made the three stores famous throughout the capital.
At this time, in Yuerongfang, Jiang Ranli looked at the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince in front of him and sighed.
"Eighth Brother and Yinzhen are both very busy, and the Fourth Master is also very busy every day. Don't you have anything to do?"
Early this morning, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince came to Yuerongfang one after another, saying that they wanted to experience skin care. Moreover, if Jiang Ranli did not agree, they would not give up.
"The court has been busy with the review of the crown prince's case recently. I was upset when I heard about it, so I simply didn't go. So I'm not busy," replied the Tenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince said, "I am in charge of training the troops, so I am not busy today."
"Fourth brother said that I have just been released from confinement and asked me to adapt to the current situation first. So, there is nothing to do and I am not busy," said the Thirteenth Prince.
