Lan Xiuyuan looked at Lan Linxue with a blank expression, not even a hint of hatred in his heart.
If a pig bumps into you, are you going to pull out a knife and kill it right now?
Of course not! We must wait until autumn, until it's plump and healthy, and then finally get rid of it completely.
Lan Linxue is now the pig under his knife!
"That's no trouble for Your Highness! Lord Hu already visited Mother this morning. Besides, what couple doesn't argue and have disagreements? How Father and Mother like to get along is their own business. We, as their children, shouldn't say too much, or we'll just become a laughingstock. Don't worry, Your Highness, Mother will be out soon, and you'll still have to go and pay your respects!"
Lan Linxue nodded seriously, a smirk playing on her lips. "Yes! I'll definitely go! I'll go burn incense and bow three times to whoever is lying in a coffin!"
Lan Xiuyuan's eyes suddenly turned icy as he glared at Lan Linxue, his anger erupting instantly, as if he could burn someone to death at any moment.
Lan Linxue, however, remained fearless and continued to smile provocatively.
"Your Highness! You should be more mindful of your words. This is the inner palace; we cannot tolerate Your Highness cursing people here!"
Lan Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but Hu Feifan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted with a frown.
Lan Linxue glanced at him coldly, then grabbed Qin Kou'er's hand with an unbearable contempt and slowly walked past them. "You're acting like a dog, and you're quite the one doing it! You don't even know what your master is thinking, yet you're barking around like this. Be careful you don't make a mistake, or you'll be the one who ends up in trouble! Humph!"
Lan Linxue took Qin Kou'er's hand and led her inside. Qin Kou'er didn't really resist; she just nodded slightly as they passed each other without saying a word.
At this moment, whatever she makes will become the focus of attention, which is something she absolutely does not want to happen.
Lan Xiuyuan looked at the two clasped hands and his expression turned extremely cold.
But he still didn't say anything.
He was here today with a purpose: to keep Qin Kou'er by his side forever. Lan Xiuyuan would never make a mistake, much less ruin his good image at this moment.
When he heard about Hu Qianyu's treatment in the palace late last night, he angrily smashed everything in the room.
That was not only an insult to Hu Qianyu, but also an insult to him.
He even impulsively wanted to rush into the palace immediately, find Lan Shanyang to argue with him, and then bring Hu Qianyu back completely.
Fortunately, Feng Zhouyuan stopped him in the end: "Your Highness! A true man can bend and stretch, and endure humiliation! Now is the most crucial moment for the Crown Prince's selection. How can a prince offend the Emperor at this time? Besides, since ancient times, princes have been forbidden from interfering in palace affairs once they reach adulthood. Moreover, the ones who are quarreling now are your father and mother. After all, they are husband and wife. Can outsiders interfere in matters between husband and wife? Even if you are their son, it is not allowed! Just think that you love your mother, but you are also the Emperor's own flesh and blood! With these thoughts in mind, you can avenge Consort Hu when you ascend the throne. Your Highness, there are no shameful things in this world. There is only that your power is not great enough, and your position is not high enough! If one day you are the Emperor, do you think anyone will still remember what happened in the palace?"
Feng Zhouyuan's words were a wake-up call!
Lan Xiuyuan gradually calmed down.
Yes, all the humiliation he faces now is not important; what matters is his future path.
Once you become emperor, all these humiliations will be gone!
If he marries Qin Kou'er, he will be like a tiger with wings!
Lan Xiuyuan understood, so he decided to follow his plan completely and make sure he got to know the second young lady of the Xu family today.
Besides the many exquisite embroidery pieces that Qin Kou'er brought over last night, many other people also brought a lot of nice things from their homes.
Most of these were brought over by these ladies from prominent families to showcase their talents.
Seeing that she had dodged the two Qin Kou'ers, Lan Linxue gently released Qin Kou'er's hand and cautiously looked around. "Kou'er, there are a lot of people here today, and a lot of them are malicious! You'll stand next to me from now on, and I'll protect you, understand?"
Qin Kou'er glanced at him with boredom, then looked down at the embroidery in front of her and said lazily, "Don't worry. No one dares to be too direct in front of the Emperor! Wouldn't that just make things difficult for themselves?"
Lan Linxue pursed her lips, glanced around the crowd one last time, then gently tugged at Qin Kou'er's sleeve and pointed to the distance with her lips: "See them? Those sisters are the Jiang sisters. The younger one is Lan Xiuyuan's target today, Jiang Meixin!"
Qin Kou'er looked up and saw the girl following behind her sister. Although she was young, she exuded a cleverness. Her big eyes moved, rolling around and looking exceptionally lively.
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "This little girl is not so easy to deal with. I think Lan Xiuyuan might still suffer a setback!"
Lan Linxue immediately chuckled: "It's best if he suffers a setback! Let's see what he can do then!"
Qin Kou'er pursed her lips and didn't say anything. When she saw Hai Tian and the Qu sisters walking over, she couldn't help but nod.
Qu Feng'er walked up and whispered to Qin Kou'er, "The largest embroidery is finished and it's right outside the door. Just bring it up when the climax comes!"
