After Princess Fengxi was sent to Beili for a political marriage, Dong Menglou felt hopeful, but unexpectedly, the Regent Prince turned around and married Su Ruojin, the legitimate daughter of the Su family who had just been found.
On the day of the Regent's wedding, Dong Menglou attended the banquet with her parents. Seeing the majestic Regent, dressed in red, holding such a grand wedding for Su Ruojin, she cried all night after returning home.
Later, she thought that the regent only had one queen and the position of concubine was still vacant. With her status, she was more than qualified to be the regent's concubine. New hope was ignited in her heart, and she continued to refuse the marriage arranged by her family.
Seeing Su Ruojin like this now, how could she suppress her jealousy? She walked to Yaolan's side as if possessed and said unintentionally, "Your Highness, the Regent's wife is quite glamorous."
Yao Lan turned to look at Dong Menglou, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
Yao Lan had always been spoiled and willful in her work in Bei Li, doing whatever she wanted and killing whenever she wanted. Anyway, with her elder brother, uncle, and cousin protecting her, she didn't need any complicated schemes.
However, after arriving at the Great Chu palace, Yao Lan's personality caused her to suffer several hidden losses, both openly and secretly. She also became smarter and understood some of the intricacies of the palace.
As a woman herself, or more accurately, as a woman who had Xiao Yanchu in her heart, she could tell at a glance what Dong Menglou was up to.
This is an attempt to provoke her anger and use her as a tool to deal with Su Ruojin.
Yao Lan's expression remained unchanged as she smiled and looked at Su Ruojin, "It's only right that everyone cares more about the Princess Consort since she's pregnant. However, the Regent's Palace currently only has one Princess Consort, and now that she's pregnant, there's no suitable person in the palace to serve the Prince."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Dong Menglou's eyes.
Yao Lan saw everything and sneered inwardly.
Does Dong Menglou even deserve to covet the Regent?
but......
Yao Lan thought for a moment, then her smile widened.
Why wouldn't she accept it when someone is eager to use it for her?
People gradually arrived, and a palace servant came to report that the banquet arrangements were complete.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me to the Chrysanthemum Pond to admire the chrysanthemums."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone followed Yao Lan to the Chrysanthemum Pond.
Chrysanthemum Pond, as its name suggests, is a place in the imperial palace where chrysanthemums are displayed. A stream is also brought in from the side, and together with various artificial hills, small bridges and flowing water, the entire Chrysanthemum Pond has a touch of artistic conception.
There is also a large pavilion in the middle of the chrysanthemum pond, which is convenient for the masters of the palace to rest when they are tired from admiring the chrysanthemums.
Upon arriving at Juchi, the group consisted mostly of young ladies and women. They were quite surprised to see some rare and exquisite chrysanthemums, and soon they each took their close friends to admire the chrysanthemums.
Su Muyao kept in mind Madam Su's instructions: be extremely careful in the palace and never let your guard down. She dared not leave Su Ruojin's side for even a moment, vowing to protect her elder sister.
Su Muyao wasn't particularly interested in the chrysanthemums, but when she saw the introduced water flow, the artificial hill, and the small bridge over the stream, a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
Su Ruojin saw it and asked, "Mu Yao, what are you looking at?"
"Big sister, I was thinking, if we didn't bring the water in from here, but instead built a trough in that dark corner and surrounded it with an artificial hill, wouldn't we be able to create a small waterfall? That would look much better. And that pavilion..."
Su Muyao raised her hand and gestured. Seeing Su Ruojin smiling at her, she felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking, blushing. "Big sister, did I talk too much?"
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "No, you are very good as you are."
Just then, Yao Lan walked over from not far away. "Your Highness, the hair duster is open today! It's such an auspicious day. I've come to invite Your Highness to come and take a look."
Su Ruojin's eyes flickered, but her expression remained unchanged. "Okay."
On the contrary, Su Muyao stared at Yao Lan warily, like a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to reveal its claws at any moment.
She'd fight anyone who dared to harm her older sister, regardless of whether they were Consort Chun or not.
