Jiang Yan sat in the pavilion with his eyes narrowed, a brightly colored bird chirping in a cage beside him.

"Daddy!" Jiang Cheng was tired from walking all the way while holding up her skirt, and the bird was so scared that it suddenly hit the cage hard.

"Why are you so unruly? How were you taught since childhood?" Jiang Yan opened his eyes unhappily and ordered someone to cover the birdcage with a black cloth.

"I'm sorry, Daddy, I was anxious for a moment..." Jiang Cheng bit his lips tightly and stood far away with some fear.

"Forget it, don't be so rash in the future. A princess should act like a princess!" Jiang Yan waved his hand lightly, and a maid immediately helped him up.

It would have been fine if the word "princess" had not been mentioned. As soon as the word was mentioned, Jiang Cheng's eyes instantly turned red and he stood there sobbing.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan frowned, "Is it because of Prince Yongnan again?"

Jiang Cheng bit his lip, "I don't know what Yue Nanchen has been doing recently. He took Lan Shuiyao back home again, and even moved to her side yard yesterday. I'm worried that if this continues, the Lan family will really come after us!"

Jiang Yan frowned, and the image of Lan Shuiyao at the banquet came to his mind. He didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few years, the daughter of the Lan family had grown into such a pretty girl. No wonder Jiang Cheng was no match for her.

But... Jiang Yan suddenly pursed his lips and smiled. Even Jiang Cheng was startled by his weird smile. She was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"

"Cheng'er, who do you think will win in the end, Dong Qing'er or Lan Shuiyao?" Jiang Yan asked in a low voice, narrowing his eyes.

Jiang Cheng was stunned, thought carefully and answered, "I think it's Dong Qing'er. Although she is now the Princess of Changning, Yue Nanchen treats her..." He hasn't touched any woman for three years. Isn't that the best evidence?

"No, Dad makes a bet with you. I bet Lan Shuiyao will win!" Jiang Yan said with a faint smile.

Jiang Cheng was stunned, and immediately said angrily, "Dad, this is my daughter's lifelong happiness, how can you bet on this?"

Jiang Yan smiled faintly, "In fact, from the day you decided to marry Prince Yongnan three years ago, you should have known that this would be the outcome!"

Jiang Cheng stamped his feet, "Yes, I know Yue Nanchen still has feelings for Dong Qing'er, but since Dong Qing'er got married, he should have given up. Who knew that he would... Now there's another Lan Shuiyao!"

Jiang Yan sighed, "I've said it before, Prince Yongnan is not a very good husband, but you didn't listen!"

"Dad, now is not the time to teach me a lesson. We should think of ways to win back Yue Nanchen's heart!" Jiang Cheng was so angry that he was spinning around.

Jiang Yan was silent. Perhaps this was a good opportunity.

"Cheng'er, you should be on guard against Lan Shuiyao now, not Dong Qing'er. No matter how capable Dong Qing'er is, she is already the Princess of Changning. Your biggest rival is Lan Shuiyao now. If you want to be happy, then help Dong Qing'er fight Lan Shuiyao. This way you can win Yue Nanchen's favor and eliminate the biggest hidden danger!"

"Dad, I agree to deal with Lan Shuiyao, but I don't need to join forces with Dong Qing'er!" Jiang Cheng said angrily, "I came back this time just to ask Dad to send someone to kill Lan Shuiyao to prevent future troubles!"

Jiang Yan was slightly stunned. This was also a good idea. As long as Lan Shuiyao died, Dong Qing'er would completely occupy Yue Nanchen's heart. By then, Prince Changning...

"Okay!" Jiang Yan whispered, his extremely pale face looking a little gloomy.

"Really? Thank you, Daddy!" Jiang Cheng was overjoyed. He stepped forward and hugged the man's arm and shook it gently.

"I know that Daddy loves me the most!"

Jiang Yan smiled calmly.

Fulu wandered in front of Lan Shuiyao's door for a long time. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and went forward to knock on the door.

"Come in!" A sweet voice sounded, Fulu carefully pushed open the door and stood respectfully at the door, "Third Madam, this old servant is here to thank you!"

"Oh?" A faint sound of surprise sounded. Before Fulu looked up, he smelled a fragrance coming towards him, and his head drooped even lower.

"What are you thanking me for?" Lan Shuiyao leaned lazily on the couch, looking at Fulu with interest.

"Thank you Third Madam for your advice. Last night..." Fulu didn't say anything else, but just bowed respectfully.

Fulu is considered an old man in the Yongnan Palace. He has never been so respectful to the Princess Jiang Cheng and the concubine Yin Diewu. Now that he is showing such great courtesy to Lan Shuiyao, it can be seen that he is truly impressed.

"Haha!" Lan Shuiyao chuckled and fiddled with her hair. "I didn't say anything. It's the old butler who is loyal!"

Fulu bowed again, "Madam, I have an unwelcome request, may I know..."

"Since you know it's an unreasonable request, don't say it. Butler, don't call me the Third Madam. Just call me Shuiyao!" Lan Shuiyao smiled gently and gave the old butler the best answer with just a few words.

Fulu's eyes narrowed, knowing that Lan Shuiyao was unwilling to help. As a servant, he could only bow again and retreat.

"Miss, why don't you listen to what the butler says? In this palace, the butler's position is very important. If you want to become a princess..."

Cherry, who was serving at the side, suddenly spoke, but was stopped by Lan Shuiyao's cold eyes.

go.

"Who said I want to be a princess?" Lan Shuiyao glanced at her with a smile, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"You weren't last night..." Cherry said softly. She had been waiting outside last night...

"Princess? Haha!" Lan Shuiyao sneered. She had never thought of relying on a man, let alone taking on a man's identity. She was just perfunctory last night! Princess? Ridiculous!

"Do you really want to be the number one concubine in the world?" Yingtao raised her eyes and said in surprise, "The conversation you had with the prince at the Blue Water Tower that day has spread outside, and everyone knows that you..."

"The best concubine in the world?" Lan Shuiyao was startled, then quickly laughed, "Since I can't erase my identity as the concubine of Prince Yongnan, then what's wrong with being the best concubine in the world?"

Yingtao was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Lan Shuiyao. The arrogance in that smile shocked her so much that she was speechless.

The best concubine in the world? Oh my god!

Fulu was kneeling in front of the palace gate and finally ran into Yue Nanxuan who was out strolling around again.

"Oh, why does this person look familiar?" Yue Nanxuan was dressed in a blue suit and a headband of the same color. He was dressed very unobtrusively. He stood in front of Fulu, pointed and asked Xiaojia and Xiaoyi in a stupid manner.

Fulu smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you are joking again. I am Fulu, the housekeeper of the Yongnan Palace. Since you were this tall, you liked to sneak into the palace by climbing over the wall. I caught you several times. How could I not remember it!"

Yue Nanxuan's nose was shaking with anger. He slapped Fulu on the head and shouted, "You old man, you know the emperor. You said something about climbing the wall when you were a child. Are you deliberately exposing my shortcomings? Since you know me, why didn't you even serve me a cup of tea when I was wandering around Yongnan Palace for a long time? Am I...

Should you be punished for your blasphemy?"

Fulu quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you also know that is our master's order. I dare not disobey. Please be magnanimous and spare me!"

Yue Nanxuan blinked his eyes pretentiously and said, "Forget it, since you have been kneeling for several hours, I won't make a fuss about it. Fulu, there is no need to make such a big fuss if you want to apologize!"

Fulu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, I'm not here to apologize, I'm here to beg Your Majesty!"

"Oh?" Yue Nanxuan's expression became even more arrogant. "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

"I want to ask Your Majesty to persuade our Third Madam to take care of our Master. He has been married for three years and now has no son or daughter. I am not blind. In this whole palace, only the Third Madam can make Master turn back. Your Majesty, I beg you. The Third Madam will not listen to me, but she will listen to you. You are the greatest!"

"Lan Shuiyao?" Yue Nanxuan's playful expression froze a little, but soon, he winked again, "Why should I persuade her? I wish she would break up with my brother so that I can let her enter the palace!"

"Ah!?" Fulu was startled and sat down on the ground.

"What a rare guest!" He sat lazily on the chair, holding a book in his hand, flipping through a few pages, then raised his eyes to look at the extremely ostentatious Emperor Xuan standing in front of him.

"If you don't come into the palace to see me, I will naturally go out of the palace to find you!" Yue Nanxuan patted his butt and sat down in front of him. Without being polite, he picked up the tea and drank it.

"You know she doesn't allow me to enter the palace!" Yue Nanchen raised his eyes lazily and finally stopped his gaze on the book. He laughed and stretched lazily.
