Upon seeing that it was Lan Shanyang, Qin Kou'er quickly bowed and greeted the Emperor: "This humble woman greets Your Majesty!"
Lan Shanyang nodded lightly, then turned to look at Lan Linxue, who had a sullen face, and snorted.
Lan Shanyang sat down on the stone bench where Qin Kou'er had just been sitting and looked coldly at her son.
"Greetings, Father Emperor!"
Lan Linxue sometimes really gets annoyed with her own father. Why does he always have to come at the right time to cause trouble? People who don't know the truth might think he did it on purpose!
He walked over listlessly, bowed languidly, and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
Lan Shanyang now gets automatically enraged whenever he sees Lan Linxue looking like she's about to die.
He gave a cold snort, his face grim as he glared at Lan Linxue: "Why aren't you back at your Crown Prince's Palace? What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Qin Kou'er.
Qin Kou'er turned her gaze slightly, pretending not to see it.
If your own son acts like a hooligan, who can you blame?
Lan Linxue curled her lip in mockery, "Father, I am no longer the Crown Prince. How can I go back to the Crown Prince's Palace? Isn't it because they're trying to find a place for the new prince? So, I'm temporarily homeless!"
As she spoke, Lan Linxue shamelessly let out a deep sigh, her face filled with melancholy.
Seeing her son like this, Lan Shanyang became even angrier. Pointing at Lan Linxue, she roared with fury, "You ruined the Crown Prince yourself, and now you've made such a mess of things for who you're trying to impress? Nowhere to live?! Hmph, I think you should have been sleeping on the streets long ago! There's plenty of space for you to make a mess of things!"
Lan Linxue immediately became unhappy and turned around to start baring her teeth: "Who forced me to this? Isn't it all the mess your sons made? Instead of comforting me, you're making me live on the streets? What kind of father is so heartless! Humph, when I have a son in the future, I'll cherish him and treat him like royalty. I won't give him anything!"
Enraged, Lan Shanyang looked around, grabbed the jade pendant from her waist, and threw it at Lan Linxue's head: "You little beast, I've already given you too much! Do you even care? When have you ever taken my kindness for granted! You've turned everything upside down, and now you still think you're right? Let me tell you, if it weren't for Miss Qin today, you'd be starving in prison right now!"
Lan Linxue didn't dodge. Instead, she grabbed her father's jade pendant and shouted even louder, "That Miss Qin has already saved your son, so why don't you show any appreciation? Even if you don't give me a mountain of gold and silver, you should at least give me an imperial decree to have those bastards below take care of me! I didn't see anything. Are you planning to take advantage of me and then deny everything?"
Lan Shanyang was so angry at Lan Linxue that he was seeing stars. He was panting heavily and pointed at Jing Quan, saying fiercely, "Go! Go and get me the ancestral law. I'm going to beat this little beast to death today! I'd rather beat him to death than let him anger me to death!"
Jing Quan quickly came over with a smile to soothe Lan Shanyang, "Oh dear, Your Majesty! Why are you really angry! The Crown Prince was barely saved from this ordeal, and instead of offering some words of comfort, you're getting angry. Why do you have to do this!"
Lan Shanyang pressed her hands on her knees, glared fiercely at Lan Linxue, and snorted, "He still has the heart! I think he deserves to be taught a lesson! If I had known it would be like this, I would have just kicked him out! Humph!"
Lan Linxue glanced at her father, pursed her lips, then turned and walked over, pulling Qin Kou'er to Lan Shanyang's side. She looked at her father with a hint of smugness and asked, "Father, what do you think of Miss Qin?"
Lan Shanyang immediately glanced indifferently at the two people's clasped hands.
Qin Kou'er saw this and calmly tried to pull her hand away, but Lan Linxue was determined to hold on tight.
Lan Shanyang's expression instantly turned ugly!
Although Qin Kou'er was a nice girl, and her background made him feel closer to her, that didn't mean he agreed to his son having a more intimate relationship with her.
Marriage is a major life event. Do they really think they can just secretly pledge their lives to each other? Humph, where does that leave their father?
Qin Kou'er was an exceptionally intelligent person. With just one glance at Lan Shanyang, she knew that the Emperor still couldn't accept the fact that a woman was trying to take his son away. She couldn't help but softly say, "Your Highness, won't you let go?"
Lan Linxue didn't say a word, but simply raised her neck and gripped even tighter.
Qin Kou'er sighed slightly. How could Lan Linxue, that dead person, be so clueless about the situation?
Qin Kou'er remained silent, but in front of Lan Shanyang, she gently raised her leg and kicked Lan Linxue's shin hard.
"ah--"
Lan Linxue cried out and started jumping up and down on the spot, hugging her legs.
Lan Shanyang never expected that Qin Kou'er would kick his son right in front of him.
Instantly, Lan Shanyang's gaze towards Qin Kou'er turned cold.
Qin Kou'er showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she turned to look at Lan Linxue calmly and said sternly, "Your Highness, if you dare to lay a hand on me again, don't blame me for being impolite! I come from the martial world and don't know the rules of those refined ladies. If I accidentally hurt Your Highness, please don't blame me!"
Lan Linxue grimaced and hugged her foot, still chuckling, "It's okay, hit me a couple of times, it won't hurt!"
When Lan Shanyang saw her son's useless appearance, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Shanyang calmly, a slight smile playing on her lips. This wasn't her fault; what could she do if the Emperor's own son was willing?
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to attend to, I will take my leave now!"
