Chapter 166 A Lucky Girl
Master Wu Chen stroked his beard and looked at Lu Zhiran with a smile.
"Girl, you look quite familiar to me. Have we met before?"
Lu Zhiran came back to his senses and quickly knelt down to salute him respectfully.
"This humble servant greets Master Wuchen. Two years ago, I met you by chance and had your fortune read. At that time, I did not know your identity, so I apologize for my negligence. I beg your forgiveness."
Master Wuchen laughed heartily. "You still remember me. No disrespect, no disrespect. Back then, you gave me a pot of fine jade wine, which was better than any other wine I've ever tasted."
He would not easily tell fortunes for others, but when he met Lu Zhiran, he felt that she had a special fate at first sight.
He shamelessly stepped forward to ask for wine. The servant beside her wanted to drive him away, but Lu Zhiran stopped him and ordered someone to bring him a pot of wine.
Wu Chen drank heavily on the spot and was very happy.
It was also because of the pot of wine that he gave Lu Zhiran a fortune-telling.
Now it seems that her fate has been overcome and the road ahead is smooth.
She is a blessed girl.
Lu Zhiran said, "If Master likes it, I'll have someone send you a few more jars."
"Okay, okay, very good. You are sensible. Unlike some people, they don't have a good attitude when asking others for help."
Xiao Yanci: ...
He doesn't have a good enough attitude?
Xiao Baozhu sighed, "You two have actually met before. What a fate! Master, you've already read my fortune for Sister Ran, so why don't you do one for me too? We're so familiar with each other."
Master Wuchen waved his hand and said, "I only tell fortunes for those who are destined to know me. There is nothing much to tell for a girl like you."
Before Xiao Baozhu could get angry, Lu Zhiran said, "Master only tells fortunes for those with obstacles in their destiny and gives them guidance. Baozhu, you've had a smooth life, so there's nothing to tell."
Xiao Baozhu was immediately coaxed and started smiling.
"Master, it would be better if you said so."
Lu Zhiran looked at him seriously and gratefully, "Thank you very much for your guidance, Master. I am deeply grateful."
"I was just talking, the one who can truly save yourself is you. From now on, I won't tell your fortune anymore."
Lu Zhiran's eyes moved slightly, and then she bowed respectfully to him again.
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Baozhu was a little slow to react and realized that what he meant was that Sister Ran would not encounter any difficulties in the future, so there was naturally no need to tell her fortune.
Xiao Baozhu also became happy, and Xiao Yanci looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Yanci then turned to ask about what had just happened, "Did you have any hand in this?"
Xiao Baozhu played dumb, "Seventh Brother, what are you talking about? Sixth Brother and Lu Shiyin's tryst is their own business. How can we interfere?"
Lu Zhiran also smiled but said nothing.
When Xiao Yanci saw this situation, he had some guesses in his mind.
Baozhu doesn't have the brains to plan all this, this is most likely Lu Zhiran's work.
Thinking of his royal brother's miserable appearance just now, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Yanci's lips.
Everything can only happen once, and he has ruined other people's innocence twice in this way. He will definitely not get a good result in the eyes of his father.
After Xiao Baozhu and Lu Zhiran left, Master Wu Chen gave Xiao Yanci an admiring look.
"You have good taste, but from my perspective, the girl doesn't have any interest in you."
Xiao Yanci hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will personally ask for her consent."
Right now, she may not have any romantic feelings for me, but sooner or later, I will slowly impress her.
In the palace, Xiao Yanqing was indeed severely scolded by Emperor Defeng.
He immediately informed Concubine Li of the news, and the mother and son worked together to claim that Lu Shiyin had facial flaws and was not fit to be the principal wife.
Emperor Defeng was about to agree, but unexpectedly, Grand Secretary Lu Wenyuan came to ask for a meeting.
Everyone thought that he came to ask for the position of principal wife for his daughter, but unexpectedly he did the opposite. Not only did he not ask for the position of principal wife, he didn't even want the position of concubine.
"My daughter's appearance is damaged, and she has behaved inappropriately in public. Even if she had physical contact with the Sixth Prince, she is not worthy of entering his mansion. She has tarnished the reputation of the Lu family and brought trouble upon the Sixth Prince. When I return home, I will send her to the family temple, where she can spend the rest of her life in seclusion!"
When Concubine Li and Xiao Yanqing saw this, they knew that something was wrong. Even for the sake of their father, the emperor would have to give a decent explanation.
Emperor Defeng's expression changed several times. He softened his tone and comforted Lu Wenyuan. Finally, he directly appointed Lu Shiyin as the sixth prince's principal wife.
Lu Wenyuan refused several times, but Emperor Defeng's attitude became increasingly unquestionable. "Xiaoliu was wrong in this matter. If I don't give your daughter an explanation, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the royal family?"
Finally, Lu Wenyuan accepted the order and expressed his gratitude with a look of emotion.
Both Concubine Li and Xiao Yanqing looked unhappy, but they also knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so they didn't dare to say a word and accepted it resignedly.
After returning to Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Li was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Xiao Yanqing, but in the end she couldn't bear it and let it go in anger.
"Look at this foolish thing you've done! Not only have you wasted the position of principal consort, but your reputation in the court and among the people will also be damaged. It will also make your father even more disappointed in you. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Xiao Yanqing's face was pale and blue, looking very ugly.
"This time, I was careless and fell into that bitch's trap."
Concubine Li tried to suppress her anger and said, "Tell me, what exactly is going on!"
Xiao Yanqing then explained the whole story one by one, and Concubine Li narrowed her eyes slightly.
"That girl from the Lu family has always been domineering and brainless. How could she have such a sharp mind? And what a coincidence, Xiao Yanci and Lu Zhiran are both there watching the show?"
Xiao Yanqing's mind gradually became clear, but he was still a little bit unbelievable.
"How could Lu Shiyin get involved with them?"
Concubine Li said coldly, "Of course she wouldn't have done that in the past, but since her face is ruined, she can't even be considered for the Crown Prince's consort, so she can only resort to unorthodox methods. They've figured out her weakness, so they can naturally exploit it."
A raging flame suddenly ignited in Xiao Yanqing's chest.
"They dare to make fun of me. This is simply too much!"
Concubine Li was so disappointed that she couldn't make up her mind. "I can only blame you for being too careless and letting your guard down! You knew that Lu Zhiran was such a scheming woman, yet you still dared to go along with her!"
Xiao Yanqing is a joke.
Due to the natural self-confidence of men, he never took Lu Zhiran seriously. Even though he failed last time, he just thought it was an accident.
Who could have thought that this woman could be so cunning!
Sooner or later, he will make this woman pay the price and leave her begging for mercy under him!
Concubine Li said, "Lu Zhiran has to give up this move."
Xiao Yanqing blurted out, "Why?"
"This woman is not on the same page with us. We can't suppress her. If she enters the Sixth Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid she won't be a help to you. She will become a poisonous snake lurking by your side! If she stays by your side and cooperates with Xiao Yanci, can you defend yourself?"
Xiao Yanqing shuddered all over, and a few words popped up in his mind: femme fatale.
Why did she fall for Xiao Yanci? And yet she looked down on me in every way? In what way was I inferior to that reckless man Xiao Yanci?
