C119

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Xiao Lan was dressed neatly. His hair was tied up and he walked out of the room with steady steps.

Meng Ying, who had been waiting outside the room with a loose expression, was momentarily stunned when she saw Xiao Lan.

This is … Princess?

The prince ordered her to prepare clothes for the princess, so she chose a set of white silk. Although it wasn't luxurious, it was still considered exquisite.

But now, the princess was wearing a man's brocade robe!

There was also the princess' hair, standing up high like a man's. She was dressed like a man.

If she had not seen Princess Consort walk out of this room, she would have thought that she had met a handsome young master.

Xiao Lan ignored Meng Ying's dumbstruck expression and walked to her side with a cold voice.

"Lead the way, Weapon Crafting Pavilion."

Meng Ying blinked her eyes dumbly. Weapon Forging Pavilion? Oh, yes, the Forge.

"Oh …" "Alright."

Meng Yingying foolishly stepped forward. Her eyes gradually widened in a way that Xiao Lan couldn't see. Why did she feel that the wangfei in front of her and yesterday's wangfei were two completely different people?

Yesterday, the princess was gentle and had a numb voice, like a beautiful woman without bones. Today, the princess was irritable and obscene. She was like a shrew in the streets. Now, she had turned into a cold and handsome young master.

[Which one of us is the true princess?]

Along the way, Meng Ying was so confused that she almost twisted her fingers into a knot.

The inner courtyard of the palace was towering, and although it was bustling, there was also a hidden pedantry.

Xiao Lan walked on the azure stone steps step by step, each step firm and steady.

From this moment onwards, she would no longer be deceived by anyone. As for bullying, it would also never happen.

Nearing the Weapon Forging Pavilion, Meng Ying stopped. She looked conflicted as she spoke in a soft, timid voice.

"Esteemed wangfei, you should go with Mengying to change clothes."

Xiao Lan's footsteps stopped.

Change clothes? Was the dress she was wearing inappropriate?

"Why do you need to change clothes?" Xiao Lan's voice was cold and clear.

Meng Yingying pressed her lips together, "Princess, you don't dress according to the rules. Moreover, it is not proper for you to go to see the Emperor."

Xiao Lan lowered her head to sweep her clothes. For the sake of convenience, she had changed the wide sleeves of her arms into tight long sleeves.

Could it be that changing two sleeves is against the rules?

Funny.

"No need."

Xiao Lan walked straight into the Weapon Crafting Pavilion.

"Esteemed wangfei …" Meng Ying wanted to continue persuading her, but seeing that Xiao Lan had already stepped into the main hall, she could only shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Within the main hall.

Xuanyuan Yun and Xuanyuan Hong were drinking tea, looking peaceful but in reality, the atmosphere was heavy.

Gao Yuan sprinted in from outside the hall. "Reporting to the emperor, the Regent Concubine is here."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yun and Xuanyuan Hong Xi both raised their heads and looked towards the main entrance.

Xiao Lan wore white clothes, and her black hair that was bundled into a bun flowed vertically behind her. The sunlight that was approaching noon hit Xiao Lan's body, causing her to seem as if she was walking out of the sunlight.

As Xiao Lan neared, Xuanyuan Hongxi and Xuanyuan Yun were both stunned.

She wasn't wearing a woman's outfit?!

Xiao Lan calmly walked in front of the two of them and slightly cupped his hands with a cold expression.

"This subject greets Your Majesty."

Xuanyuan Hongxi leaned his sitting body back slightly and gently raised his eyebrows.

In the morning, he had even developed a detest towards Xiao Lan, and now that he saw her extremely pleasing to the eye while dressing up, after taking off her female attire, even though it no longer had the flirtatiousness of a woman, it still added a few traces of heroic spirit to it.

"There's no need for the Regent's Consort to be so courteous."

Xiao Lan stood up and looked at the front with a solemn gaze. During this period of time, she had not looked at Xuanyuan Wentian at all.

Xuanyuan Hongxi quickly realized that the two of them were acting strange and he laughed in his heart. It seemed that the two of them did not share the same thoughts.

"Regent Consort, there is an endless supply of materials in this tower. Don't go back on your promise to my crossbow, or else, I will punish you with the crime of deceiving the monarch."

The tea cup Xuan Yuan was about to pick up stopped.

The sin of bullying the monarch...

Their long, narrow, pitch-black eyes were slightly serious as they landed on Xiao Lan.

Feeling Xuanyuan Yun's gaze, Xiao Lan finally shot a glance at Xuanyuan Yun, but quickly gave a cold laugh in her heart.

Was he worried that she would screw up and cause her body to lose her life, destroy his ability to save lives?

If he was truly worried about this, he might as well worry about himself first.

Xiao Lan turned and looked resolutely at Xuanyuan Hongxi. "Your Majesty, don't worry. You will definitely not be disappointed in five days."

"Alright."

Xiao Lan's confident appearance was instantly influenced by Xuanyuan Hongxi. He liked this kind of serious person.

Who would have thought that a girl like her would have such an aura? It was rare, very rare.

"Gao Yuan."

Xuanyuan Hongxi shouted towards the outside of the hall.

"Your servant is here." Gao Yuan practically jogged to Xuanyuan Hongxi's side. "Your majesty."

"Go, get Ye Wu and Ming Han warriors to help the Regent's Consort with the crossbows."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but quickly glance at Xiao Lan as his heart trembled.

Ye Wu and Ming Han were both extremely powerful warriors, and even if they were facing the Feral Tiger Lion, they would be able to kill it with a few punches.

The emperor was quite fond of these two people. For them to be called over to help the regent's consort forge the crossbow meant that the emperor admired the regent's consort …

How did she do it?

This morning, the emperor hated her to the bones and hated her to the extreme …

Xuanyuan Hongxi saw Gao Yuan standing there in a daze and stepped forward.

"What are you standing there for? Go!"

Gao Yuan almost fell to the ground, "Yes, yes, your servant will go now."

Standing behind Xuanyuan Yun, Ru Feng whispered to him.

"Your Highness, the wangfei is amazing."

Just as Rufeng finished speaking, two terrifying gazes pierced through his surroundings.

What was going on?

What did he do wrong again?

"King …"

"Shut your mouth." Xuanyuan Feng's voice may have been indifferent, but it sounded like a thousand years old ice, able to freeze people to death.

The wind held its breath and stood still like a stone statue. It could not help but complain in its heart.

Who would be able to tell him why his prince was so terrifyingly infuriated? He was completely unable to guess at all.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Xiao Lan saw that no one had arrived yet. She turned around and gave a slight bow to Xuanyuan Hongxi.

"Your majesty, this subject's wife will go prepare the materials first. When she arrives later, I'll have to trouble Eunuch Gao to bring her to the back."

"Alright." Xuanyuan Hongxi readily agreed.

This straightforward promise caused Xuanyuan Wentian to feel even colder.

Xiao Lan strode towards the back of the main hall.

However, before he left, his footsteps suddenly paused for a second, and his eyes quickly turned to look at Xuanyuan Yun.

Although his movements were quick, Xuanyuan Feng was still able to see everything clearly.

Xuanyuan Wentian's long and narrow eyes slowly narrowed. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Lan's figure that was about to disappear.

Ulan Yi, what exactly do you want to do?

Xuanyuan Po's fingers began to tap gently on the back of the chair.
