Chapter 503: A desire to provoke?
There are only two princes in the harem now. The eldest prince, Xie Wuji, was born in a humble family. Back then, his biological mother was just a concubine who was not worthy of being on the stage.
In the entire harem, only Li Shiwen, the Lanpin, gave birth to the second prince Xie Ziyi.
Although Lanpin was not favored, she had the prince by her side in the harem.
It would be best if she and Lanpin could get along well...
Although everyone said that Concubine Lan was the Queen's person, she just didn't believe that there was really a woman in this world who entered the palace and didn't want to compete for favor.
What's more, Concubine Lan gave birth to a prince. Even if not for herself, she had to make plans for the child.
An Qianning had a gentle smile on her face
Li Shiwen looked at her and felt a little annoyed. An Qianning looked at her and smiled like this.
It is really……
Quite creepy...
Li Shiwen really wanted to say, can you please stop laughing, she is not the emperor
An Qianniang was really too flattering...
Li Shiwen said, "Mr. An, you are too polite. Since it is Ms. An's intention, I will accept it."
An Qianning nodded
"Empress Lan, I will personally send him over later. It's just right. I also want to see the Second Prince. I heard that he is cute and well-behaved, and looks very much like the Emperor when he was a child. In this harem, you are the most blessed one."
Li Shiwen felt very uncomfortable listening to An Qianning's flattery.
After Li Shiwen left
Qiu Er said, "Miss, the attitude of Concubine Lan towards you seems..."
An Qianning could see that Lanpin's attitude towards her was not very warm.
But so what?
What she wanted to do was to sow discord between Concubine Lan and the Queen.
"Aunt said that Concubine Lan is the Queen's person. I want to see how deep the relationship between Concubine Lan and the Queen is. Humph."
Zhonghe Palace
Guyu walked in and looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting on the couch reading a book.
"Your Majesty, just now, at the gate of our palace, Lady An specifically called out to Concubine Lan and said that she had prepared a gift for the Second Prince and would personally deliver it to Concubine Lan's palace later."
Lin Junxue put down the book in her hand, and her lips curled up slightly.
"An Qianning is a flexible person. Now that she is a noble lady, she naturally has to build good relationships with the high-ranking concubines in the palace. Shiwen has Ziyi, the second prince, so it is understandable that An Qianning wants to get close to Shiwen. I am afraid she wants to sow discord between me and Concubine Lan."
Qiao Xin nodded
"Your Majesty's guess is correct. You guessed that Lady An had this idea. In the past, she was the noble daughter of the An family, so she naturally didn't have to do this and make such a humble gesture. Now, she is just a small noble lady, and she has temporarily lost the emperor's favor, so she is like this."
Tea for Guyu
Lin Junxue nodded slightly
"Shiwen knows what's going on. I'm not worried. Just wait and see."
the other side
After Li Shiwen had lunch, An Qianning came with Qiu'er.
As soon as she sat down, An Qianning asked Qiu'er to take out the prepared things.
"Lady Lan, look, this is a golden lock that I specially ordered to be made for the Second Prince. This golden lock is not only made of top-grade pure gold, but also a high monk from the royal temple was invited to personally bless it and chant sutras for several days. The high monk is highly respected and has profound Buddhist knowledge. The golden lock he blessed will surely protect the Second Prince from growing up safely and healthily. I believe that with this golden lock by his side, the Second Prince will surely be blessed with great fortune."
Li Shiwen ordered the palace maid to accept the golden lock and smiled.
"Mrs. An is so thoughtful. I would like to thank you on behalf of Ziyi."
An Qianning looked around, then smiled and said, "Madam Lanpin, is the Second Prince here?"
Li Shiwen pursed her lips and said calmly, "Mrs. An, it's really unfortunate. Ziyi was coaxed to sleep by his nurse just now and is taking a nap now. I'm afraid that Sister An will have to make a wasted trip today."
She really didn't want Ziyi to face An Qianning, a person with ulterior motives.
There was a sudden, barely noticeable change in An Qianning's expression.
There was a strange look on his face, as if some thought suddenly arose in his heart, but was quickly suppressed.
The hand holding the teacup paused.
What does it mean to be coaxed to sleep by a wet nurse?
It was simply that Concubine Lan didn't want her to see the Second Prince, and this was just an excuse to appease her.
Next second
An Qian twisted it as if nothing had happened
"It's my sister who is late. Since the Second Prince has already gone to bed, there will be plenty of opportunities to see him in the future. There is no need to rush."
Li Shiwen smiled
"Sister An said"
I spent some tea
An Qianning suddenly sighed and said with some envy, "Ah, I really envy your good fortune, Sister Lanpin. After entering the palace for a few years, you gave birth to the second prince. Now, in this harem, only you have the second prince. Even the Queen is not as blessed as you."
Li Shiwen frowned slightly
Isn't An Qianning's attempt to sow discord a little too obvious?
Then, I looked at An Qianning and saw that she really looked envious.
Li Shiwen took a sip of tea slowly, with an indifferent look.
"Sister An naturally has her own blessings. I was able to give birth to Ziyi because of the protection of the Emperor and the Empress. I was able to give birth safely. I'm afraid you don't know that when I gave birth, the Empress rode back to the palace at full speed overnight. I am grateful for the Empress's lifelong kindness."
An Qian's face twisted and then she smiled unnaturally.
"Sister Lanpin is right. The Queen has been so kind to me, and I should remember it."
Next, An Qianning stopped talking. She was silent, and Li Shiwen did not take the initiative to speak.
An Qianning only drank tea for a while and then left.
After leaving Li Shiwen's palace, An Qianning's expression changed immediately.
Dark eyes
This Concubine Lan actually thinks so highly of the Queen. Today, she just asked a few probing questions, but this Concubine Lan turned cold?
It seems...
Lanpin, she still needs to wait for the right opportunity before she can sow discord between the two.
The next few days
An Qianning went to Jinghe Palace...Chenguang Palace...
this day
Zhonghe Palace
Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen each brought their children to pay their respects.
榻上
Zhang Yuyan peeled an orange while saying, "It's only been a few days since this noble lady An came, but she's been very restless. Two days ago, she came to my Jinghe Palace, gave me a gift, and sat for a while. In her words, she was trying to test my attitude towards you. Tsk tsk, she didn't hide her thoughts at all."
Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly
"Just deal with it as you please."
Zhang Yuyan nodded. "I was too lazy to deal with her. I just said a few words and sent her away. I really don't understand what the An family is thinking. Back then, the emperor intended to order An Qianning to enter the palace as a concubine. If the An family was willing, An Qianning would have been one of the four concubines now. How could she end up with a mere concubine now? In my opinion, the An family deserves this."
Li Shiwen smiled and took the orange from Zhang Yuyan.
"You are such a mean person. I heard that when Concubine An came out of your palace that day, her face was very bad. You must have made her very angry."
