Unexpectedly, she stayed in the palace for half a month and didn't hear any gossip. She still had to hear it from Gu Rong who lived outside the palace.
Gu Rong cunningly put her mouth next to Lan Yunyi's ear, her eyes sparkling with gossip.
"I heard that the Yuan Concubine in the palace invited her cousin into the palace not to relieve her longing for family, but to compete for favor!"
"To compete for favor?"
Lan Yunyi's eyes widened, and Bai Zhen'er's timid appearance appeared in front of her eyes.
Although His Majesty's temperament changed drastically, which was a bit strange, and she had doubts about it in the past, she also sent people to investigate. Before Bai Zhen'er entered the palace, Concubine Yuan had already regained her favor, and her favor was getting more and more popular.
Sheng.
According to this, this has nothing to do with Bai Zhen'er.
"I heard what my brother said. Your Majesty clearly knew that today was a very important ceremony for the conferment of Zen. Yesterday, he stayed in the Yuan Concubine Palace, playing and singing every night! Even today, he couldn't get up, but the concubine still gritted his teeth and took the people there.
I went to Concubine Yuan's palace and 'invited' His Majesty out. There are rumors in the public that it was the two sisters of Concubine Yuan who worked together... to lure the emperor to go to the palace of no one else."
"However, your Majesty's behavior gave Concubine Yuan the title of a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country, but it made Concubine Hui's reputation greatly improve. Therefore, no one can tell who benefited from it."
Lan Yunyi's eyes darkened a bit as she listened.
It seems that the problem is either Concubine Hui or Concubine Yuan and Bai Zhen'er.
Just as she was about to ask a few more questions about Concubine Hui, a sharp and harsh sound came from her ears, like a hundred ducks quacking.
Lan Yunyi frowned and turned around, and saw a woman wearing a water-red jacket and skirt walking towards her menacingly.
"Lan Yunyi, I finally found you! You are so vicious that after sending your sister to a nunnery, you sneaked into the Zen Ceremony and wanted to catch a rich husband, right? You will never find a good woman in your life.
Men’s!”
Lan Yunyi raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it your dream to find a golden husband? Why are you looking for me? Although I am rich, I am not a bastard."
This girl's name is Cui Jingjing. Her ancestors were in the tea business and also served as an imperial merchant.
It's a pity that her father has a poor business acumen. He met Lan Yunyi by chance and found out that she was the lady of Lan Mansion, so he hurried forward to flatter her.
As soon as they met, he kowtowed to Lan Yunyi three times in front of everyone. Lan Yunyi was so frightened that she almost jumped up from the ground.
She was running around for a living, so naturally she was too lazy to pay attention to Cui Jingjing.
Unexpectedly, she met Lan Wanru again and knew that Lan Yunyi was not favored in Lan Mansion, so she began to blame Lan Yunyi for not telling her the truth in the first place.
In the end, he followed Lan Wanru and spoke harshly to her, framed her repeatedly.
Her childhood wish was to find a powerful man, preferably a wealthy husband, to honor her Cui family.
"You - how dare you say that my brother Hao is a bastard! You are doing the following and insulting the royal family! I'm going to have someone drag you out! Is this a place where people like you should come?"
royal?
Lan Yunyi blinked her eyes, a little surprised. She didn't expect that Cui Jingjing would really catch a golden son-in-law, and it would be worth her efforts in the past.
It's not that she looked down on ambitious women, but she looked down upon people like her who would add insult to injury and turn their backs on others.
"Kick them out? Is this Mingding Tea House your place? Kick them out just as you say."
Lan Yunyi frowned and went straight to the garden to find a stone bench to sit on. Looking at her clown appearance, she felt a little funny.
"Although the Mingding Tea House is not my place, this ceremony for the Conferment of Zen is not a place for you! Who doesn't know that today's ceremony for the Conferment of Zen is all princes and nobles, and only people with my status can enter, so you don't count.
What?"
Cui Jingjing was extremely proud, as if she had finally stepped on the thorn in her side: "When you see me, you want to salute me!"
"You did that to your sister! I am your sister's good sister. Just kneel down in front of me and kowtow three times. This is a sign of good etiquette and an apology to your sister."
"Since Mingding Tea House is not your place -" Lan Yunyi curled her lips, as if she had thought of something very funny.
She stretched her body, waved to the boy at the teahouse next to her, and whispered something in his ear.
The boy trembled all over after hearing this, his eyes flashed, he nodded three times and ran away as if running away.
"Lan Yunyi, what tricks are you trying to play again? You, a poor man who competes with beggars for food, actually tricked me into kowtowing three times before. You must pay me back today and then get out."
Ever since Cui Jingjing became the King of Hao County, she thought of how she was following Lan Wanru and groveling every night, and she gritted her teeth and couldn't sleep all night long.
Now that Lan Wanru has become a nun, she has severely stepped on her. Only Lan Yunyi has become a beggar and kowtows to her, so that she can feel better.
"What is her identity and what is yours? Sister Yunyi is a closed disciple of the old miracle doctor of Yaowang Valley, and you can get involved in it? Shut your mouth quickly, don't be embarrassed anymore!"
Gu Rong frowned in disgust. No matter how she walked on the road, she attracted vicious dogs that bit people, which wasted time for her and Sister Yunyi to warm up their relationship.
"Who am I?"
Gu Rong got to the point, and Cui Jingjing was beaming with joy, "I am the concubine of Prince Hao! Who do you think you are?"
"The old miraculous doctor's closed disciple? I've never heard of it. What's more, the miraculous doctor hasn't come yet. Why are you so proud of being a closed disciple? This old miraculous doctor must also be a rag-picker, so he would like a disciple like you.
This Zen ceremony is royal!"
Cui Jingjing emphasized her voice before the word "royal".
Lan Yunyi's smile deepened as she listened to her words. It wasn't until Zhu Qing said a few words in her ear that she twisted her neck and slowly stood up.
"I would like to ask you, the concubine of the royal family, the noble prince, and the unceremonious concubine, to get out of this Mingding teahouse as soon as possible."
Lan Yunyi spoke clearly, but what she said made Cui Jingjing's eyes widen.
How dare she? How dare she speak to the noble prince and concubine like this?
Isn't she afraid of death?
"Why? Is this Mingding Teahouse owned by your family? You used to fight for food with beggars, but now you are doing a shabby business. I'm afraid you can't even afford a cup of tea at Mingding Teahouse, right?"
Lan Yunyi smiled: "I just bought this Mingding Tea House. Now it is owned by my family. Are you satisfied? Please, Princess of the County."
Everyone:......
As soon as Lan Yunyi finished speaking, there was silence all around, and then there was another sound of gasping.
Lan Yunyi bought this magnificent and splendid Mingding Teahouse???
Isn’t this too inhumane?
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You used to fight for food with beggars! How could you buy this Mingding Teahouse? I will also say what you said. Does the teahouse belong to me?"
How come this woman doesn't listen even though she has so much to say?
Lan Yunyi clicked her tongue in annoyance, and then spoke to the servants around her: "You should throw her out quickly, she is disturbing the atmosphere in our teahouse."
"Yes, Master!"
Several young men in teahouse uniforms bowed to Lan Yunyi and then walked slowly towards Cui Jingjing.
