Second-hand wife: Wang Ye's cute pet

Chapter 52 A Blockbuster

A faint smile was drawn on Xuan Muchen's lips, and he drank the wine in the glass, "Since Madam said so, I can rest assured."

"Hehe~" Shen Xinlan didn't say anything more, but she kept twisting her hands underneath, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a somewhat forced tone: "Madam, I think it's the prince who thinks too much." .”

"I hope so." Xuan Muchen said mysteriously, then poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip to let the spicy wine slide down his throat.

"Xinlan." The Empress Dowager called softly, waking Shen Xinlan up from her contemplation. Shen Xinlan was taken aback for a moment, then slowly stood up, and bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager.

"Queen Mother." Shen Xinlan's voice rang out in everyone's ears.She raised her eyes and looked straight in the direction of the queen mother, but there was a slight puzzlement in her eyes looking at the queen mother.

"How many years has Xinlan been in the Prince's Mansion?" The Queen Mother looked at Shen Xinlan chatting, and gently brushed her forehead with one hand.

"It's been four years." Shen Xinlan's lips lifted slightly, and she answered honestly, but the doubts in her heart deepened, and the Queen Mother asked me what she was doing.
"Oh~" Empress Dowager Yu Yun let out a long oh, propping her cheek with one hand, as if she was thinking about something, after a long time, she turned her head to look at the emperor and said slowly: "According to what Aijia saw , since Shen Xinlan has been in the Prince's Mansion for four years, shouldn't she be given a title?"

The emperor respectfully stood up and arched his hands towards the queen mother, with a slight smile on his face: "I understand what the queen mother means, this Shen Xinlan is the daughter of Shang Shu, and it is indeed a little wronged to stay in the prince's mansion as a concubine." .”

It's hard to distinguish the truth from the emperor's words. In desperation, Shen Xinlan knelt on the ground, lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and said slowly: "Xinlan doesn't feel wronged at all. , I beg the emperor and the empress dowager to see clearly."

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Xinlan's appearance and couldn't help but chuckled a few times, her eyes gradually softened, her gaze stayed on Shen Xinlan's back, and she said as if teasing: "Look at you girl, you have too much heart Now, Aijia and the emperor don't want to blame you, get up first."

Shen Xinlan stood up timidly, but her head was always lowered, not daring to raise her head to look in the Queen Mother's direction.

Seeing this scene, the imperial concubine couldn't help but slightly raised her red lips, she stood up slowly, her eyes were always on Shen Xinlan's body, she glanced at the emperor, couldn't help covering her lips tenderly Laughed: "According to the thoughts of the concubine, it is better to be a side concubine."

After thinking for a while, the emperor nodded lightly, his lips curved slightly, and looked in the direction of Shen Shangshu. He patted the table, "Okay, I'll be a side concubine."

Shen Xinlan was overjoyed when she heard that, she knelt down slowly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

An Liuyan sat beside the queen mother, holding the wine glass in her hand, with a faint smile on her lips, she stood up proactively, raised the wine glass in Xuan Muqing's direction, her eyebrows and eyes curved: "Congratulations, prince Your Highness."

This Shen Xinlan has been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally she is looking forward to it, isn't it?Concubine?Hehe~
Xuan Muqing couldn't react for a while, but just held his wine glass in a daze, until An Liuyan drank the wine in his glass, then lightly raised his lips, and said meaningfully: "Unexpected The crown prince's concubine is really generous."

The Queen Mother noticed the turmoil between the two, she took the initiative to stand up and took An Liuyan's hand, and continued slowly, saying with a smile in her voice: "The Crown Princess is naturally magnanimous, otherwise How can you become a princess."

I don't know if she said these words to Xuan Muqing or Shen Xinlan, after all, rumors and rumors from outside the palace will always come back to the palace.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere seemed to be condensed because of the queen mother's words. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Xuan Muchen took the initiative to stand up to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere. He raised the wine glass in his hand towards the queen mother, showing a big smile: "Today is the queen mother's birthday, grandson toasts the queen mother, and wishes the queen mother good luck, Shoubi Nanshan. Every year has today, and every year has today.”

The queen mother laughed twice, picked up the wine glass at hand, and there was a smile between her brows and eyes: "You are always the most able to make Aijia happy."

Shen Xinlan let down a sigh of relief, but she didn't notice that Xuan Muchen beside her was always looking at her with a half-smile.

Although the birthday banquet ended in a seemingly peaceful situation, everyone could feel the undercurrents.A storm seems to be brewing in an unstoppable state.

In the dark room, the exquisite figure of the imperial concubine stands with her hands behind her back, a strange light shines out of her crystal-like eyes.

"Master." A stern voice sounded from behind the woman. The man lowered his head so that people could not see his expression at the moment, but there was no trace of tenderness in the voice: "This subordinate has found out that Yu Ruyi In the hands of the prince."

The noble concubine turned around, with a slight smile on her lips, and a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Then go and get it."

The imperial concubine used a word to make the visitor's body tremble slightly, he raised his head to look into the imperial concubine's eyes, and said slowly: "But the crown prince has reported that Yu Ruyi has been robbed."

"Abducted?" The smile on the corners of the imperial concubine's lips grew stronger, and she twitched her brows slightly. She walked lightly to the man's side, and circled around the man, "Do you think that something from the dignified prince's mansion Is it that easy to rob?"

The man raised his head, with a cross wound engraved on his face, looked at the concubine with a strange look, and said without a trace of emotion in his voice: "The concubine, you mean that this is a game of His Highness the Crown Prince? "

"Hehe." The imperial concubine sneered twice, her red lips slightly outlined a trace of a smile, her eyes circled around the man's body, and stretched out a hand to pat the man's shoulder twice: " Ye Yuan, do you think His Highness the Crown Prince would be such a stupid person? How could he let go so easily if he got Yu Ruyi, whoever gets Yu Ruyi will win the world."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." The man named Ye Yuan nodded lightly, "This subordinate will go to the Prince's Mansion to search it out."

"En." The imperial concubine nodded lightly, then waved her hand, propping her forehead with one hand, "I drank too much at the queen mother's birthday banquet today, you should go back first."

"Yes." Ye Yuan turned around and left.There was always a hint of a faint smile on the lips of the noble concubine, which couldn't be lingered.

The next day, early in the morning.

"Prince Concubine." Liu Xueyao combed An Liuyan's hair, and chuckled, "Xinlan side concubine was already waiting at the door early in the morning."

"Oh." An Liuyan raised her eyebrows lightly, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and a strange light appeared in her eyes, "She is positive."

"Of course." Liu Xueyao showed a smile, and skillfully arranged An Liuyan's hair, "Mrs. Xinlan waited for four years to become a side concubine, so of course she has to come early in the morning to pay her respects to the crown princess. Otherwise, Aren't you afraid that others will say that she has no rules?"

"Xueyao." An Liuyan raised her eyebrows lightly, with a slight smile in her eyes, she looked around and said slowly: "Don't talk nonsense, if it spreads out Oh no."

Liu Xueyao glanced at the little maidservants standing around, and suddenly understood, she bit her lips, looked at An Liuyan: "Yes, I understand."

In the hall, Shen Xinlan was already sitting on a stool beside her. When An Liuyan slowly walked out of the inner hall, Shen Xinlan stood up and respectfully bowed to An Liuyan: "Concubine sees the Crown Princess." .”

An Liuyan's eyes lingered on Shen Xinlan's body for a few seconds, and a smile appeared, "The side concubine has been waiting for a long time."

Shen Xinlan looked at An Liuyan's appearance, gently pulled her lips, and folded her hands on her lower abdomen; "Prince Princess is serious, it's because Xinlan came early."

An Liuyan's lips twitched slightly, and just as she was about to say something, Xuan Muqing walked in from the outside.

"His Royal Highness." An Liu Yanfu leaned down.

Xuan Muqing frowned slightly, looked An Liuyan up and down, and opened his mouth: "It was you who asked Xinlan to come over early in the morning to say hello to you."

"What does His Royal Highness mean?" An Liuyan's brows twitched, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but a pair of dark eyes looked at Xuan Muqing's slightly angry face.

"Xinlan just had a miscarriage, do you know?" Xuan Muqing's voice was full of anger, he walked slowly towards An Liuyan, pinched An Liuyan's chin with one hand, and the two looked at each other: " But now you let her come to greet you so early?"

"My concubine has never asked for anything." An Liuyan said indifferently, her eyes bravely met Xuan Muqing's, and the eyes were shining brightly.

"No?" Xuan Muqing gritted his teeth a little bit, the strength in his hand subconsciously increased, he turned his head to look at Shen Xinlan: "If not, why did Xinlan come to you so early?"

"Hehe." An Liuyan swung Xuan Muqing's hand, leaving two faint red marks on her chin. She turned her head to look at Shen Xinlan and said word by word: "The side concubine came to greet my concubine. Isn't it a proper etiquette?" An Liuyan turned her head to meet Xuan Muqing's eyes, and took a slight step forward, "Even if His Royal Highness thinks that this concubine is just a thing in the Prince's Mansion Decoration, but the proper etiquette is also indispensable, right?" An Liuyan paused slightly, and her pink lips faintly outlined a smile: "What's more, there are so many people in the prince's mansion. Insufficient, spread out, isn't His Royal Highness afraid of being generous?"

Facing An Liuyan's pressing approach, Xuan Muqing took a step back, and he shook it fiercely, then glanced at Shen Xinlan, gritted his teeth, "Let's go."

Shen Xinlan turned her head to look at An Liuyan with a strange gaze, saluted hurriedly, and then followed the prince's footsteps and left.

After everyone had left, there was a sudden burst of applause at the door =.An Liuyan turned her head to meet a pair of deep eyes, and a faint smile was drawn on her lips: "My lord?"
