Although Concubine Chang had asked the servants to prepare these things she was wearing, she could tell from the meaning of her words that these things were the rewards she had given her last time.
Concubine Chang originally thought that as a country girl, she didn't know what was good and what was bad, so she asked the servants to find some jewelry for her. She didn't expect that she would be ridiculed for this, and even told others that these things were given by her as a reward?
If this gets out among the people, wouldn't Concubine Chang be labeled as the wicked mother-in-law who fooled her daughter-in-law with cheap jewelry?
If this matter were to reach the ears of a certain official in the court or his wife, she, as the imperial concubine, would be completely disgraced.
This time she really lost the big picture for the small one. She never expected that Luo Lan would say in front of the people that this thing was a reward from her, Concubine Chang.
Thinking of this, she frowned and said in a cold voice:
"Since some people don't know the value of these things, you shouldn't wear them anymore. I'll have someone send you some later."
Hearing this, Luo Lan knew that this was possible, and she said directly:
"I heard there's a jewelry store in the east of the city. Most of the young ladies from official families go there. If your majesty is interested, why not just give me some cash and I can pick out a few pieces that suit my taste."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang frowned, then nodded, "That's fine. I'll have someone send you a hundred taels of silver later."
"My Lady."
Luo Lan interrupted her directly, "What can a hundred taels do? It's not even enough for the people in the mansion to eat."
"I heard that the jewelry stores in the east of the city have very valuable items. This one hundred taels..."
Although Concubine Chang was reluctant, she nodded in agreement in order to prevent her from spreading nonsense and slandering her image in the hearts of the people.
"Okay, then two hundred taels, that should be enough."
Luo Lan bowed hurriedly and saluted happily.
"Thank you for your consideration, Madam."
Concubine Chang nodded slightly and asked again:
"How is Yu'er these days?"
Luo Lan couldn't help but think to herself that she was probably wondering why Leng Yu wasn't dead yet.
She thought for a while, pursed her lips and bowed:
"Your Highness, the prince has been fine these past two days. He's already eating osmanthus cake today."
Hearing her say this, there was no trace of joy on Concubine Chang's face, but instead a bit of resentment.
But he is his son after all. Although he is extremely disappointed in him, he should be allowed to eat whatever he wants.
Thinking of this, she nodded to Luo Lan and said:
"You are the one who recently replaced the servants in the mansion. Since you are willing to serve Yu'er, I will fulfill your wish. I don't know much about the situation in Prince Yu's mansion, but you must not have any selfish thoughts. I will come to see you in person in a few days."
Hearing this, Luo Lan almost had the urge to laugh. What could she possibly think? The Yu Palace was already so poor that it was barely enough to make ends meet. Was she still afraid that she would run away with the money?
She nodded slightly and said softly:
"Don't worry, Madam. Although the servants and maids in Prince Yu's mansion have been replaced with new ones, none of them dare to have any selfish thoughts towards the prince. Luo Lan is already the prince's person, so naturally she won't have any thoughts anymore."
