At this moment, Youran Courtyard was eerily quiet.
After Minister Lan greeted Yu Qingluo, he sat aside. After getting hints from Mrs. Tai, he asked several times why Yu Qingluo proposed marriage to Lan Shuiqing.
But Yu Qingluo insisted that she would wait until the blue water poured over before talking, so he could only sit aside, looking uneasy.
Yu Qingluo's eyes narrowed as she looked at him like that.
She had a very dislike for Assistant Minister Lan. Back then, Mrs. Lan gave birth to a child in a broken house and narrowly escaped death. She almost didn't even save the child. Fortunately for him, he almost forced her to death when he turned around. It also caused the mother and daughter to suffer injustice for more than ten years.
Back then, she also had difficulty giving birth in a ruined temple, but in the end she met Ye Xiudu and her husband who was kind to her and Nan Nan and was always dedicated.
This comparison made her even more disgusted with Lan Shilang.
She despises useless men.
Thinking about it, Yu Qingluo took another sip of tea, probed her neck slightly, and looked outside.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tai hurriedly said, "This Shui Qing is real, why haven't you come yet? You know that the princess is waiting here, but you are still dragging your feet, which is unseemly. Sister Song, go ahead and urge her."
"Yes." Nanny Song immediately walked outside.
Yu Qingluo frowned. After all, Lan Shuiqing's surname was still Lan, and she was still the daughter of the Lan family. Even if the madam didn't like her, she should still look out for the Lan family.
She is good at sowing discord openly.
"Princess, I'm really sorry. Shui Qing usually has a weird temper, and sometimes she doesn't listen to what we say. Please don't argue with her, Princess." Lan Shilang, who received the Madam's gaze, immediately agreed. .
Hong Ye on the side became unhappy when he heard this. This Lan Shilang was really damned. He didn't speak up for his daughter. He just wished that Lan Shuiqing was in trouble.
Sure enough, the life of the eldest girl of the Lan family in Lan Mansion is really unsatisfactory. It's better to let Nannan marry her and go back. They will definitely treat her like a jewel and treat her like a treasure.
Yu Qingluo became much calmer, curled up the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the outside world also said that this princess is a weirdo, withdrawn and not easy to get along with. This is a coincidence. If Miss Lan is also a weirdo, I’m even more curious, maybe we’re still weirdos with similar interests?”
The expressions of Mrs. Tai and Minister Lan changed at the same time, and they said hurriedly, "What are you talking about, Princess? She is gentle and considerate, but why is she not easy to get along with? It must be because the outsiders are jealous. Only the princess would spread such rumors."
Yu Qingluo twitched the corners of her lips, "So, if you say that the eldest girl of the Lan family has a weird temper, it's because someone is jealous of her?"
"..." The madam's expression froze, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, at this moment, low footsteps came from the outside world. Nanny Song left and returned. She bowed respectfully and said, "Princess, Madam, Sir, the eldest lady is here."
"Hurry, let her in quickly." Yu Qingluo's eyes were filled with excitement, and she couldn't wait to speak before Mrs. Tai and Lan Shilang could speak.
Nanny Song responded, and soon Cai Xin came in with Lan Shuiqing and Yan Zhi.
As soon as Lan Shuiqing entered the door, she felt a few fiery looks. She didn't even need to look up to know who was sending this look that was about to burn her to death.
She didn't take it seriously, without even squinting her eyes. She just bowed to Yu Qingluo Yingying who was sitting on the main seat, "Shui Qing has met Princess Xiu."
This was the first time Yu Qingluo met Lan Shuiqing, and she had long been full of curiosity about her. At this moment, seeing that her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, I was even more satisfied.
"Look up and show me."
"Yes." Lan Shuiqing tugged on the palm of his hand and then slowly raised his chin.
It was also her first time to have such close contact with Yu Qingluo. Just one glance, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
She thought that as a princess, she should be a graceful and noble person, but the woman in front of her was not only neatly dressed, but also very simple and neat.
At a glance, it turned out to be more casual than her dress, but there was an invisible hint of intimacy that made her want to get close.
She didn't have that kind of aloof attitude, looking down on the world, and the smile on her face was still a little bright.
Is this Princess Xiu? The woman whom Prince Xiu treasured in his palm, the woman who was respected even by the current emperor, the rumored Princess Tianfu who was the most favored in Tianyu Kingdom, the ghost doctor with a high status in the world
Lan Shuiqing's breathing quickened for a moment, and she didn't understand why she had this inexplicable sour feeling. It was very strange.
Yu Qingluo was also looking at Lan Shuiqing, feeling very satisfied. Lan Shuiyuan and Lan Shuitian have the same appearance, but Lan Shui Qing is more bright and charming.
That's right, when she delivered Mrs. Lan's baby, Mrs. Lan was also very pretty, so her daughter would certainly be good.
But what she couldn't figure out was that Mrs. Lan was so good-looking, more than a little prettier than the Jin sitting next to her. Is this Minister Lan blind? He actually gave up Mrs. Lan for the Jin. Tsk tsk.
The madam saw the two of them looking at each other, and she could see the satisfaction in Yu Qingluo's eyes. She felt a little thump in her heart and secretly screamed something bad.
She hurriedly gave Lan Shilang beside her a wink.
Lan Shilang pursed his lips tightly and hurriedly spoke to break the calm, "Princess, this is the little girl Shui Qing. Shui Qing, you came too slowly, how could you keep the princess waiting? By the way, your mother How is your illness?"
Lan Shuiqing's face suddenly darkened, and she suddenly mentioned her mother's illness. Was this her biological father threatening her
Lan Shuiqing then saluted Mrs. Tai and Minister Lan, "Everything is well, mother."
"Well, that's good. You go and sit aside. When the princess asks anything later, you have to answer honestly and politely, but don't lose your temper, you know?"
Lan Shuiqing tugged her hand and sneered secretly. At this time, she wanted to see what kind of methods they would use.
Aunt Song quickly put a chair under Lan Shuiyuan for her to sit down. Yu Qingluo frowned and suddenly waved to her and said, "Come here, sit next to me, let me Take a good look. After not seeing her for so many years, she has really grown into a tall and graceful girl."
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Yu Qingluo in surprise.
Long time no see? What's the meaning
The madam couldn't help but ask, "Princess...have you met Shui Qing when she was a child?"
How can this be? When Lan Shuiqing was a child, she had no chance to leave the Lan Mansion. How could Princess Xiu have seen Princess Xiu who stayed with her mother all day long
