Liu Yan pushed Ke Er away. "I'm willing, I'm really willing. As long as the prince thinks I'm valuable, then whatever he wants me to do is better than silently dying in the music hall for the rest of my life!"

Liu Yan's face was covered in tears. "Princess …"

He then kneeled forward a few steps. "Princess, I'm really willing. Please, just agree to Liu Yan."

Looking at Liu Yan, Xiao Lan had mixed feelings in her heart for a moment.

She had never known what it was like to love someone, so she did not understand Liu Yan's behavior at all. Her love for Xuanyuan Po had already been humbled to the point of being humbled, she could no longer be humbled.

She was willing to give everything she had in exchange for an order from Xuanyuan.

If it's really Ke Er's words, then why bother …

Hehe …

Xiao Lan silently smiled. At this moment, she didn't even know what expression she ought to have.

"Royal Consort …" Liu Yan tried to hold back her tears as she slightly curled the corner of her lips in an attempt to make herself look more appropriate.

For a moment, Liu Yan let Xiao Lan see an extremely distorted 'Anya'.

Xiao Lan's small heart finally couldn't take it anymore, and she nodded resolutely.

"I agree," she answered.

Liu Yan immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude. "This servant thanks Royal Concubine."

Slave Liu Yan?

"Wait."

The two words, Xiao Lan, caused Liu Yan to freeze on the spot. "Princess …"

Did she go back on her word?

Xiao Lan took a deep breath. "Don't be afraid."

Xiao Lan discovered that this was the first time she was going to comfort someone.

"I mean you can stay with me, but you don't need to be a servant. I don't need a servant by my side, and you still want to be the fifth lady of your dance hall. If I have time, I'll call for you, okay?"

"Royal Consort …"

Liu Yan's face was once again filled with tears.

Sigh... He cried again.

Xiao Lan looked at Ke Er. "Quickly, carry your master back and take good care of him."

It was best to wash his face first. A good crying face was really messy.

Ke Er very obediently supported Liu Yan back.

The courtyard gradually quieted down as Xiao Lan looked at her. "Princess, you seem to be very good to this Fifth Miss …"

Eh?

Xiao Lan looked at Ning Xiang. If it was like how she normally wouldn't pay attention to what Ning Xiang said, she felt that this little girl would always be able to find some problems that no one else was able to discover.

So it was better for her to ask: "Do you think I'm good to the Five Ladies?"

Ning Xiang's eyes widened as she nodded, "Yeah."

"Tell me, how have I treated her?"

Ning Xiang's sleeves fluttered. "That day, when the pavilion was playing chess, wangfei watched as the five ladies fell into a trance a few times. Her eyes were especially soft and gentle."

This...

She did think of Anya.

"And today, if it was anyone else crying like that, you would have long been thrown out with a swing of the stick, or you would have just knocked yourself out and thrown you out. You actually agreed to the Fifth Miss' request. Isn't that what's good for her?"

From what she said, she did treat Liu Yan quite well, but …

That was because she looked like Anya.

A moment later, Xiao Lan suddenly looked at Ning Xiang with a gloomy gaze. She had found out that there was a problem …

"Ning Xiang, is this wangfei that violent?"

Either it was a stick or it was thrown out …

This...

This time, Ning Xiang tugged on her sleeve. Could she not answer?

When Xiao Lan saw Ning Xiang's appearance, she immediately whispered, "Scram and make some tea."

"Yes."

Ning Xiang quickly replied. Suddenly, she felt that the tone of the wangfei actually had a hint of teasing in it. She couldn't help but say, "A little bit more".

"Royal Consort, the pastries of the five ladies look rather tasty, otherwise …" "You …"

Xiao Lan cast a glance at the exquisite dishes on the table and said, "Let's talk after the tea is brewed."

"Okay." Ning Xiang saw Xiao Lan let out a breath, and was extremely happy for a moment.

As long as the wangfei ate, everything would be fine. She was only in charge of taking care of the wangfei, so the prince wouldn't blame her. When the prince had sent her to the wangfei's side, he had also specially instructed her to do so.

If you can't take care of the wangfei, I'll take your head off!

She would never forget this sentence even if she was beaten to death.

After Ning Xiang left, Xiao Lan's gaze couldn't help but once again fall on the pastries on the table.

Love... What is it? What kind of magic can make a person go crazy, to the point where it can make them humble to the extreme … That's right, it was so scary …

When Ning Xiang finished steeping the tea and gave it to Xiao Lan, she noticed that Xiao Lan was actually staring at the pastries on the table in a daze.

Ning Xiang couldn't help but open her eyes slightly. So it wasn't just the young lady who was lost in thought, even the princess was also lost in thought when she saw what happened to her.

Ning Xiang slowly walked to the table and placed the cup of tea by Xiao Lan's side. "Princess, the tea is ready."

Hearing Ning Xiang's voice, Xiao Lan finally recovered and silently picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Thinking of the question he had just answered, he frowned in disgust.

Did she really think she was stupid from the sleep? Was there some kind of love she was thinking about? She must be sick!

Ning Xiang stood at the side and watched Xiao Lan's expression for a while, feeling greatly surprised. It was the first time she had seen so many of her expressions ever since she had met the wangfei. It was far too strange.

The astonished Ning Xiang momentarily forgot all about the matter and blurted out, "Royal Consort, you're not thinking about the love letter that the Prince wrote you, are you?"

"Scram!"

Xiao Lan instantly let out a fierce roar, and this roar instantly caused the fragrance to return to its original form.

It's over. She said the wrong thing.

In the next second, the fragrance disappeared in the blink of an eye like a small whirlwind. Only when it was night did the fragrance appear, having to prepare a meal for Xiao Lan.

The second night they stayed in the Wordless Pavilion.

Xiao Lan lay on the bed as he stared at the curtain above his head in a trance.

This afternoon, she ordered someone to bring the bedding from the Orchid Garden over. Now, there was no longer any traces of the ambergris around her, but … It was unknown if it was because of Ning Xiang's words, but in her mind, the letter that she had burned to ashes would appear occasionally, especially the last three words.

Wait for me to return …

Wait for me to return …

Xiao Lan deeply frowned.

A moment later, she couldn't help but think of her first dream of Xuanyuan. 'Snowy Plum Garden,' he said.

Then he drank his tea at the window and looked at her and said, Come here.

This time, it was not a dream. There were three clear words written on the letter: Wait for me to return.

Thinking up to this point, Xiao Lan abruptly sat up and mumbled to herself, "Is this some kind of evil fate?!"

That night, Xiao Lan was unable to sleep, and his imagination ran wild as the sun rose.

Early in the morning the next day, Ning Xiang, who had come to the inner room, saw Xiao Lan's dense black circles and was instantly shocked.

"Princess, what happened to you?"

Xiao Lan looked at Ning Xiang's shocked appearance and fretfully frowned. "Don't make such a big fuss. You can be like that even if you don't sleep for two days."

Not going to sleep for two days?

Ning Xiang bit her lips, her eyes gradually revealing a pained look.

"Esteemed wangfei, didn't this servant tell you before that the prince won't be back for several days? Why are you waiting for him when you don't sleep every night? Seriously, even love can't be so foolish …"

Xiao Lan, who had not slept for two days, was too lazy to roar now. She waved her hand and quickly waved her hand at Ning Xiang.

"Get out, get out immediately! Get out before this wangfei is ready to smash your ass to pieces!"
